EA have added F1 2021 to the GeForce NOW Streaming Service after presumably being shocked that revenue went down after they removed F1 2011, F1 2012, F1 2014, F1 2015, F1 2016, F1 2017, F1 2018, F1 2019 and F1 2020 from stores in the past two years. GeForce NOW is free to try for sessions up to 1hr in length.
