Nvidia GeForce Now Day Pass reinvents game rentals

In the old days, we used to have to walk or drive to the local Blockbuster to rent a game. When Blockbusters everywhere started losing the war to streaming giant Netflix, we had Redbox rental vending machines in our grocery stores. Now, we have game subscription services like Xbox Game Pass and even GeForce Now’s Free tier. Those monthly subscription services have been game-changing for what games we play and how we pay for them. 

But sometimes you want to actually own a game. The trouble is how do you easily try out a game before you buy it? Sure, Steam will let you refund a game within 14 days of purchase, as long as you’ve played less than 2 hours. But it can be tricky to evaluate a game in 2 hours. For some titles this is more than enough time, but with lengthy open-world RPGs 2 hours is often not enough time to even get through the tutorial.
