GeForce NOW streams The Drifter to your PC, phone, tablet or TV without installing it, but it does not include the game: you need your own copy from one of the stores below, then the service runs it for you. On GeForce NOW it is an Install-to-Play title: the game is downloaded onto your session's cloud storage when you start it, which takes a few minutes and needs the Performance or Ultimate plan.
