The GeForce NOW service is NVIDIA’s cloud gaming platform, allowing users to stream their PC games directly from NVIDIA’s servers to virtually any device – from smartphones and tablets to handhelds like the Steam Deck, laptops, and Smart TVs. Players gain access to a vast library of titles (currently over 4,000) purchased on platforms such as Steam or the Epic Games Store – without the need to invest in expensive, high‑performance gaming hardware.

GeForce NOW offers several subscription plans, including a free tier and paid options that deliver low latency, ray tracing, high‑resolution graphics, and ultra‑high frame rates – up to 240 FPS.

GeForce NOW innovations in 2026

GeForce NOW continues to evolve rapidly, expanding access to GeForce RTX 5080‑class cloud servers across more devices and platforms while preparing for the release of major AAA titles.

The GeForce NOW app for Linux PCs is now available in beta. Currently supported on Ubuntu 24.04 and newer, it delivers an experience seamlessly integrated with the user’s desktop environment. The app transforms compatible systems into powerful gaming machines, enabling cloud streaming of supported PC titles at stunning resolutions of up to 5K at 120 FPS or in 1080p at a record‑breaking 360 FPS.

Another major milestone is the introduction of a native app for Amazon Fire TV Stick devices. This feature effectively turns compact streaming sticks into powerful cloud gaming hubs, offering yet another way to stream PC game libraries directly to large‑screen TVs. The new app broadens device compatibility and makes it easier than ever to start gaming from the couch with a controller in hand — no console or desktop PC required.

With official support for flight sticks and throttles (HOTAS), virtual aviation in the service reaches an entirely new level of immersion. Fans of aerial combat can now bring their specialized hardware to the cloud – starting with the Thrustmaster T.Flight HOTAS One – to feel every roll, yaw, and throttle adjustment with pinpoint precision. From course corrections to abrupt maneuvers and power changes, every action is now replicated with accuracy once reserved for high-end desktop PCs. The ultra-low latency that defines the service ensures the responsiveness needed for precise piloting, even in the most demanding conditions. To make takeoff easier, a new “Flight Controls” section has been added, grouping together all titles that fully leverage the capabilities of dedicated flight equipment.

To further streamline access, GeForce NOW now supports Single Sign‑On for Battle.net, letting subscribers instantly launch supported titles without repeatedly entering login credentials. In early 2026, Gaijin.net integration will also go live, simplifying authentication and synchronizing game libraries across multiple devices.

FAQ

But what if I don’t want to play in the cloud, and instead prefer to play locally using my GeForce card?

In that case, take advantage of technologies like DLSS 4, which significantly boost game performance through intelligent upscaling and additional frame generation.
