Cloud Gaming with NVIDIA GeForce NOW

NVIDIA GeForce NOW is revolutionizing the gaming experience by allowing gamers to access high-performance cloud gaming hardware on various devices like phones, Chromebooks, and smart TVs. The service eliminates the need for extra purchases as it taps into players’ existing game libraries.

Exciting Updates for Handheld Gaming PCs

As the school year comes to an end and summer break begins, NVIDIA has announced an update tailored for handheld gaming PCs such as the Steam Deck and Asus ROG Ally. While these portable consoles rely on integrated graphics for power efficiency, NVIDIA recognizes the potential for improved performance through more powerful hardware. By leveraging GeForce NOW’s cloud-based infrastructure, these handheld devices can achieve top-notch graphics, high resolutions, and smooth frame rates without draining their battery life.

Enhanced Gaming Experience on the Steam Deck

GeForce NOW has optimized its compatibility with the Steam Deck through a new browser configuration. By installing a pre-configured Google Chrome setup on the Steam Deck, players can easily access GeForce NOW in the browser with special settings. This configuration enables the browser version of GeForce NOW to run in the Steam Deck’s Gaming Mode, providing seamless navigation with the built-in gamepad. Additionally, users can leverage advanced graphics settings like DLSS and RTX real-time ray tracing for enhanced visuals. This enhancement extends beyond the Steam Deck to include other handheld devices such as ASUS ROG Ally, Logitech G Cloud, Lenovo Legion Go, MSI Claw, and Razer Edge.

Unleashing the Power of Cloud Gaming

With GeForce NOW, handheld gaming devices can tap into the computational power of cloud-based computers to unlock advanced graphics features like RTX real-time ray tracing and DLSS. Players can experience high resolutions and frame rates up to 240 fps, maximizing the capabilities of their gaming handhelds.

Seamless Transition Across Devices

GeForce NOW ensures a seamless transition for gamers across different devices. Whether you’re on the move or at home, you can access GeForce NOW on PC, Mac, NVIDIA SHIELD TV, or other supported devices. This flexibility enables gamers to pick up where they left off seamlessly.

Expanding Game Library Access

For the Steam Deck, GeForce NOW offers access to game libraries beyond Steam, including Epic Games, GOG.com, Ubisoft Connect, and Xbox.
