“There is not a native app on Steam deck today,” said Andrew Fear, GFN boss, back in January. “Use a Chromium browser to make it work. I would say that both Nvidia and Valve, I think we’re both interested in making [GeForce Now on Steam Deck] better. But we don’t have any announcements on a native app coming to Steam.”
No, it isn’t.
EDIT: After reading other comments I realize I mistook GeForce Now for GeForce Experience. While I still disagree that SD/Linux is “crying out for it” I actually think bringing GeForce Now to Linux would be a good move.
I wouldn’t be opposed to it existing but that’s it. Never been a fan of game streaming myself.
Been using Xbox GamePass w/ GeForce Now for a while and can’t see why anyone wouldn’t like it. For $30/mo I can play on any device, anywhere with a decent internet connection. It uses almost no power, so my batteries last forever. I get the best gaming experience available on my gaming monitor without spending thousands on hardware that sits totally unused for 99% of the day. My room does not heat up to 100*F. I get access to a wide variety of top-tier games for a minimal fee. It’s pretty great.
can’t see why anyone wouldn’t like it.
Input latency and compression artifacts but hey, if it works good for you, I’m happy for you. I’m not here to stir drama about game streaming.
Haven’t noticed any of either during my time. At least not with any degree of frequency. Probably not something you want to be playing competitively on, if that’s what you’re into.
Lots and lots of people have reviewed them at this point with similar results.
What does GeForce NOW offer that isn’t already on Linux? My drivers are updated automatically, and streaming through Moonlight/Sunshine is incredibly easy to setup. Okay, GeForce NOW can customize the settings of all of my games, but I’ve literally never used that feature because the settings they suggest are awful anyway.
You’re describing GeForce experience.
GeForce Now is the cloud gaming service.
Oh! I had never heard of that. My mistake. Is that different than Moonlight/Sunshine game steaming? Does it stream from the internet like (the now defunct) Stadia rather than a local machine?
It’s stadia but without the bullshit where you have to buy games just for their platform.
It also works better.
It’s like stadia but in good
Even a chromium browser doesnt work well. It doesnt use hardware acceleration, so high bitrate and resolution are out of the question. When you DO force use hardware acceleration, the video you receive misses a part of the dark black colors, so the video is darker and games that are already dark, are completely unplayable. This has been an issue for years and i have worked on the issue myself but this is not fixable on the user side. And nvidia doesnt care.
I’m surprised there isn’t something already with how google has been marketing gaming on Chromebooks via streaming services.
Why would Nvidia support hardware that has fuck all to do with Nvidia?

Geforce Now is a cloud streaming app, you can already use Nvidia Gamestream on deck with moonlight.
