GeForce NOW is ending a successful week at the CES trade show with a series of exciting announcements, bringing more ways to play and enhancing the cloud gaming experience for users. With new features like Linux support, an Amazon Fire TV app, flight stick controls, and easier sign-ins, GeForce NOW is expanding across devices, making it simpler than ever for gamers to dive into their favorite titles.
Among the most anticipated updates, GeForce NOW is adding a new wave of AAA titles, including 007 First Light, Resident Evil Requiem, and Crimson Desert. These new releases, along with improved cloud performance, promise an immersive gaming experience with high-fidelity streaming, low-latency gameplay, and RTX-powered visuals.
New Native Linux App and Fire TV Support
GeForce NOW is now available on Linux, with a native app launching in beta for Ubuntu 24.04 and later. This marks a long-awaited feature for Linux gamers, who can now stream games at up to 5K resolution and 120 fps, powered by NVIDIA’s RTX GPUs. By processing graphics in the cloud, Linux users can access ray tracing and other advanced features without needing high-end hardware.
Additionally, a new native GeForce NOW app for Amazon Fire TV streaming sticks transforms the small device into a cloud gaming hub. This update allows gamers to stream their entire PC library directly to their TV, offering a console-like experience with a gamepad in hand—no console required.
Flight Stick Support for Simulators
GeForce NOW is also expanding its offerings for simulation enthusiasts. Flight simulator fans can now connect their favorite throttle-and-stick (HOTAS) setups to GeForce NOW, with support for industry-leading flight controls from Thrustmaster and Logitech. Whether flying in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 or battling in War Thunder, these custom configurations, paired with RTX 5080-class performance and NVIDIA Reflex for ultra-low latency, ensure smooth and immersive gameplay.
Easier Sign-Ins and Faster Gameplay
GeForce NOW is also improving the user experience with simplified sign-ins. Battle.net’s single sign-on (SSO) has already been integrated, allowing gamers to jump straight into supported titles without having to manage additional credentials. Later this year, the Gaijin.net SSO integration will allow users to access multiple game libraries with a single sign-on, making it even easier to access their favorite games across different platforms.
With fewer pop-ups and password prompts, players can spend more time playing and less time logging in, whether on a desktop, laptop, handheld device, or TV.
AAA Games Joining the GeForce NOW Library
GeForce NOW members can look forward to a new batch of AAA games coming to the cloud. Titles like 007 First Light, Resident Evil Requiem, Active Matter, and Crimson Desert will soon be available for streaming. These games span various genres, from espionage and survival horror to open-world combat and fantasy adventures.
- 007 First Light allows players to step into the role of James Bond, exploring stealth, action, and cinematic storytelling.
- Resident Evil Requiem offers a new chapter in the survival-horror saga, filled with tense exploration and resource-tight combat.
- Crimson Desert presents an open-world action-adventure with a mix of cinematic storytelling and intense combat in a war-torn fantasy world.
With GeForce NOW’s RTX 5080-powered performance, these games are set to shine on a wide range of devices, delivering high-quality graphics and fluid gameplay without worrying about downloads, patches, or hardware limitations.
