Who’s behind it
Made by Olicus
I’m Oliver. I run Olicus, the studio behind the Octa V1 case. I wanted a console that runs on the PC I already have, with nothing between me and my games. So we’re building it.

What does it cost?
The beta is free. It opens in December. At 1.0, JarlGate costs $9 once as an early bird price, for every device you own. Trying it from a USB stick stays free.
Will it feel laggy?
Not on a good connection. Use a cable or 5 GHz Wi-Fi, with at least 15 Mbps for 720p or 25 Mbps for 1080p. Under 40 ms to GeForce NOW feels best. JarlGate tests your connection before your first game.
Can I play the games I already own?
Yes, if GeForce NOW supports them. Your Steam, Epic and Ubisoft libraries carry over. Check NVIDIA’s game list for your favourites.
Will my old PC work?
Probably. It needs graphics that decode video in hardware, which most PCs from recent years have. Not sure? Boot JarlGate from a USB stick and it tells you on the first screen.
Do I have to delete Windows?
No. Run it from a USB stick and Windows stays. If you install it, you pick the disk and confirm first.
Why not just run GeForce NOW on Windows?
You can. JarlGate turns that PC into a console. It boots straight to your games, plays on the TV with a controller and runs on PCs Windows 11 won’t support.
Do I need a keyboard and mouse?
No. A controller does everything, from setup to play. Keyboard and mouse work too.
What comes with it?
GeForce NOW, Discord, Spotify, Moonlight, Steam Link and a web browser. Each one uses your own account with that service.
How do updates work?
Only Olicus updates the system. Every update is signed, and the version you had stays on the drive as a fallback.
What if GeForce NOW shuts down?
Your games stay yours. They live in your Steam, Epic and other accounts. JarlGate also streams from your own gaming PC with Moonlight or Steam Link.
Does JarlGate track me or show ads?
No. No telemetry and no ads. GeForce NOW, Discord and Spotify use your own accounts with them, and GeForce NOW’s free tier shows its own ads.
Is this made by NVIDIA?
No. JarlGate is made by Olicus in Borås, Sweden. It works with GeForce NOW but isn’t affiliated with or endorsed by NVIDIA.
