Nvidia reports that an upcoming version of its GeForce Experience tool will feature the Share early access beta, which will provide new tools including an in-game overlay and GameStream Co-op with built-in voice chat support. Access to the beta will be provided sometime in September along with the system requirements.
The big news here is GameStream Co-op, which allows a Nvidia customer to stream games to friends. These friends can either sit back and watch the show, play alongside the “streamer” in games that support multiple controllers, or take control of the game using mirrored controls if the streamer is having a difficult time. The friend doesn’t even have to own the game to play or observe.
“GameStream Co-Op uses the Internet, the performance of GeForce GTX PCs, and the low-latency, low-overhead streaming components of GeForce GTX Kepler and Maxwell GPUs to solve the problem, enabling you to invite friends into your game over the Internet,” Nvidia states.
The other big news is the upcoming in-game overlay, which users will be able to access by typing in ALT+Z. This brings up the Share menu, which includes Instant Replay, Record, Stream, and Broadcast functions. The overlay also includes icons for turning on/off the webcam and/or microphone.
In addition to those features, the overlay also provides a Gallery icon for accessing video clips. Users can upload these clips to YouTube without having to exit the game, which can also be edited before uploading.
“In-game, or on the Windows desktop, you can customize each feature with ease, setting recording lengths, recording resolutions, recording frame rates, and streaming quality,” Nvidia adds.
According to Nvidia, the Instant Replay feature allows the gamer to record five to twenty minutes of gameplay at up to 3840 x 2160 and up to 60 frames per second. Users can also broadcast their gameplay straight to Twitch by hitting the “Broadcast” button on the overlay. Users can even incorporate their camera and microphone into the stream.
Launched several years ago, Nvidia’s GeForce Experience allows the PC gamer to optimize installed games with a simple click of a button. Nvidia’s tool also alerts the user when a new set of drivers is available, and allows them to stream games to the company’s line of Shield devices. There’s also ShadowPlay for recording and sharing gameplay clips.
