GameStream Co-Op, Nvidia new features for PC

Still remember about Share Play, a feature released by Sony's PlayStation 4 some time ago? Yes, this feature allows gamers to invite other players to join and play together, even friends who are invited to play it does not have the game.

Interestingly, Nvidia will reportedly provide a feature with similar functionality specifically for PC! Feature called GameStream Co-Op that will be present in the next version of the GeForce Experience.

Like Share Play, GameStream Co-Op allows players to invite someone to a game he was playing for just a witness, took control of the game and try out the game, and playing together like local multiplayer, but through the Internet.

For now, there are only a few games that can be played together through GameStream Co-Op, for example Trine 3, Gauntlet, FIFA 15, NBA 2K15, and Mortal Kombat Komplete Edition.

One thing that must be underlined, not all GPUs capable of supporting GameStream. According to the company, these features must be run in the GTX 650 up on the PC acting as the host. As for players who become 'guests', does not need specific GPU.

Nvidia plans to enter the stage of early access beta in September 2015. GameStream itself is part of an update in the GeForce Experience Share. Other features that will be included in the latest update Share is a new in-game overlay, improved tools for broadcasting, and an easy way to record gameplay.
