Nvidia, Discord, and Epic Games have teamed up for an early test of instant game demos for Discord servers, which could theoretically let you immediately try a game without buying it, downloading it, or signing up for an account.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">\u201cYou can simply click a button that says \u2018try a game\u2019 and then connect your Epic Games account and immediately jump in and and join the action, and you\u2019ll be playing <em>Fortnite<\/em> in seconds without any downloads or installs,\u201d says Nvidia product marketing director Andrew Fear.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">That doesn\u2019t sound <em>completely<\/em> frictionless if you still need an Epic Games account to play, and it\u2019s not clear if Nvidia, Epic and Discord will offer the demo outside of Gamescom just yet.
