Beyond that, GeForce Now is also enabling Discord account integration to sign into the cloud gaming platform. Gamers can sign into GeForce Now using their Discord login, eliminating an extra password and potentially smoothing the signup flow for new users. It’s unclear if existing users are able to switch to this sign-in method.

The new GeForce NOW update improves login options for gamers by supporting Discord as a convenient new account creation and login option for their NVIDIA accounts. Members can now use their Discord logins to access their GeForce NOW accounts. That’s one less password to remember.
The 2.0.38 update on GeForce NOW PC and Mac apps also supports Discord’s Rich Presence feature, which lets members easily display the game they’re currently playing in their Discord user status. The feature can be enabled or disabled through the GeForce NOW settings menu.
