GeForce NOW has released its native Linux app from beta, added cloud optimizations to reduce latency in Frame Generation

GeForce NOW is upgrading its cloud gaming platform with several improvements, starting with the official launch of its native Linux app, which has graduated from beta after months of community feedback. The release prioritizes performance and stability while supporting Ubuntu 24.04 and later, with a new Flatpak repository simplifying installation and updates. By handling rendering in the cloud, Linux gamers can access the latest GeForce RTX performance without local hardware upgrades or compatibility issues.

The platform has also optimized DLSS Frame Generation in the cloud, reducing latency and making games feel more responsive, particularly when streaming at 60 or 120 frames per second in 1440p and 4K resolutions. Performance members will benefit from additional server software optimizations that improve frame rates in CPU-intensive games, delivered automatically at no additional cost.

GeForce NOW is expanding to Chromebooks, transforming everyday school setups into high-performance gaming PCs. Students can stream more than 2,000 supported PC games from their existing libraries through a supported browser or app, with the cloud handling the heavy computation. The service works across Macs, Surface devices, laptops, Steam Deck and mobile devices. Eligible new Chromebook and Chromebook+ owners can claim a year of GeForce NOW free through Chromebook Fast Pass, which includes priority access and no advertisements.

The platform is also adding nine new games to its library this week. A creator named Madelyn recently shared a video describing GeForce NOW as "a game changer" for making cloud gaming affordable and accessible across all her devices.
