NVIDIA’s GeForce NOW service is available across a wide variety of platforms and screens these days, but that doesn’t mean that it’s available everywhere that it could be, such as Linux, for example. Luckily, NVIDIA has officially announced that it’s expanding the availability of GeForce NOW to new platforms beyond where it can already be accessed. This will allow more gamers than ever to enjoy their favorite games in the cloud, alleviating the need to have a high-powered PC to run games at higher settings.
As of this week, a native app for GeForce NOW will be available on Linux. Just imagine. You’ll be able to play games from Steam and other game clients without having to do anything more than download a single app and sign in. You won’t have to use Wine or any other Linux tools to get around compatibility. That being said, there are several different forks of Linux. So, it’s important to know which version of Linux is getting the support, because it’s not all of them.
NVIDIA says that GeForce NOW will support Linux, but it’s starting small with Ubuntu
It seems pretty likely that GeForce NOW will come to other Linux distros eventually. NVIDIA confirms that it’s starting with Ubuntu, though. Specifically, Ubuntu version 24.04 and later. The keywords here are “starting with” in reference to GeForce NOW coming to Linux. This suggests that the app will reach other distros at some point. NVIDIA just isn’t ready to share those details, likely because it’s still working on development.
In addition to the service coming to Ubuntu, NVIDIA also confirms that GeForce NOW is available on Fire TV streaming sticks as a new native app.
As for the games, this week isn’t a very large list of new titles, but there are at least a few. This week, GeForce NOW subscribers are gaining access to StarRupture, Ancient Farm, Pathologic 3, Blood West, Paradise Killer, and Supermarket Simulator. The first three games are the Steam version, Blood West and Paradise Killer are the Epic Games Store version, and Supermarket Simulator is the Xbox version, which is also available via GamePass if you have it. NVIDIA also confirms that support is coming for flight sticks.
