-WHEN- on the 25th will the collectible be available to free GEForce Now accounts?

Lykophobetor · October 25

I registered for the rewards system on GeForce Now and linked my Steam account where I usually play ESO.
What else do I need to do to get this hat today?

AcadianPaladin · October 25

I play ESO on PC (no steam) and I have a nice gaming PC with GEForce Experience to help keep my driver current. From what little I could glean from a web search, I see no reason to have GEForce Now. I don't play remotely or have any plans to. I readily confess my ignorance about GEForce Now so am I missing something? Oh, and I don't care about hats/rewards.

What I think I'd like is for GEForce Experience to recognize ESO so I can use its graphics filters without them resetting to off routinely.

Ah. Sorry for jumping the gun.
I didn't receive an email (which is what prompted me to ask again), but the code was there to be collected within my Nvidia App, just now. Plugged it in here, as per the usual process, and it worked.
Thanks.

Hi, where is this "now"? It might be a silly question since there are only 2 tabs, but it can't be found nowhere.

Edit.
Nvm. For all who have problems - log in and redeem on pc browser. Phone site struggles to keep you logged in while using Nvidia.

Go to GeForce NOW > Account > Redeem > Available

It was there for me a few minutes ago, so I got the redeem code already.

As far as I understand, you don't need to have a Steam account like you would for Twitch rewards. If you go to GeForce NOW > Account > Redeem > Available, it will give you a redeem code that you would enter in the https://account.elderscrollsonline.com/en-us/redeem-code. Maybe I am wrong and I actually linked Steam to my GeForce NOW account, but I couldn't really find any reference to Steam in my GeForce NOW profile.

I don't think you actually need to download or use GEForce NOW to get the rewards. I know that I don't. I am only registered in their webpage, in the free version, and I have been able to get this and the previous reward. But if you are not interested in the rewards, then that's ok too

Access to the game on GFN requires playing through either platform. There is no standalone version (which is rare anyhow). I'm not sure myself that this system itself even requires owning the game through either platform, but the way it goes, once you have your GFN account, you claim the item on the site or the app, then you use the code to redeem it through the ESO site. Unless that item is specifically tied to either platform, then maybe it doesn't matter.

You might not need it per se, but I would find it helpful personally. If it matters to you to keep the whole game on your system and fiddle with the graphics, that's up to you. For me, I save on space that I don't need to download the game at all, like thousands of others on that platform. Sometimes I use my phone. All the graphics are handled on the remote system's side so I don't have to worry about it. Even on my travels, this is a blessing to have. Used to have to do it through my own system, but now I can cut it out for other things.

I see this almost broke into a Spaceballs monologue.

I got the hat with a new free GeForce Now account by following the instructions posted here. I haven't linked my GeForce Now account to Steam or any other game services yet, but that wasn't necessary for claiming the reward code.

Thank you, ZOS and nVidia!
