GeForce Now subscribers are encountering a frustrating issue where the Steam ‘auto sign-in’ is not working for them. They need to manually connect every time they launch the software.

Gamers have taken to various social media sites to share their reports in hopes of finding solutions to the problem.

Nvidia’s cloud gaming service, GeForce Now, boasts a large player base. They rely on the service to stream their gaming libraries.

GeForce Now provides access to every gaming library, including Epic Stores, Steam, and more, to offer a seamless experience.

Whenever players sign in to play their games, GeForce Now is supposed to automatically log into the corresponding library and stream the game.

However, recently, the platform has been experiencing an issue. Players have to manually sign into their Steam libraries to access their games (1, 2, 3, 4, 5).

At first glance, this may not seem like a significant problem. However, the repetitive log-in/sign-in prompts have become very frustrating for players.

Some players have also noted that the issue persists even if they check the ‘remember me’ option in the login menu.

Apparently, some users claim that Nvidia is already aware of the issue and is currently investigating it.

However, as of now, no official statement from Nvidia has been issued regarding this issue.

We will continue to monitor the situation and provide an update if and when there are any further developments.
