Could you ask the engineering team if they can (or did in the new firmware) implement GeForce Now into the game statistics so it’s recognized as a game? I am willing to give them feedback regarding cloud gaming. I know it is not the main focus of this firmware but it could be useful I guess.
I will report it to the team and get back to you if they have any suggestions or if further investigation is required.

Also, will it be possible to add the AFC feature in the future with the GE800? (I know it is not available everywhere in the World). Not sure if it got the hardware for it.
Doc_Octopus has provided a very constructive response here for this request.

I conducted further tests regarding game detection in Game Center for Game Boost.
When playing on Amazon Luna, it seems to be detected in Game Center’s Game Boost mode. However, GeForce Now is not detected at all when playing on it.
Could you report it to the team, please?

@Bauhaus About the two Gaming features you experienced on your GE800, I would like to escalate the case to our engineering team for further investigation.
Based on your description, we assume that the Gaming database may not be detecting the games correctly, which may need to be analyzed as a potential cause.
We will reach out to you with your registered email address later. Please keep an eye on your email inbox for a follow-up. Thank you.
