NVIDIA GeForce NOW Updates from CES

NVIDIA is wrapping up a big week at the CES trade show with a series of GeForce NOW announcements that add more ways to play and more games to the cloud.

New Platform Support

• Linux native app – First‑class client for desktop Linux users.
• Amazon Fire TV – Dedicated streaming app for Fire TV sticks and TVs.

New Features for Gamers

• HOTAS (hands‑on throttle‑and‑stick) support – Full controller integration for flight‑sim and space‑sim enthusiasts.
• Single Sign‑On (SSO) – One‑click login using existing NVIDIA accounts, simplifying the launch process.

Upcoming AAA Titles

A fresh wave of high‑profile games is slated to join the GeForce NOW library, offering high‑fidelity, low‑latency streaming worldwide:

Note: The six new games listed above will be available to stream starting this week.

Get ready to jump straight into gameplay on any supported device—whether you’re on Linux, Fire TV, or using a HOTAS controller. 🎮🚀

Leveling Up Where Gamers Play

The family of GeForce NOW supported devices is growing.

A new native GeForce NOW app is launching in beta for Linux, starting with Ubuntu 24.04 and later. This answers a long‑standing request from the gaming community, turning compatible systems into RTX‑powered gaming rigs that can stream at up to 5K resolution and 120 fps or 1080p 360 fps. With rendering handled in the cloud, Linux gamers can tap into ray tracing, NVIDIA DLSS and other RTX features without needing a local, high‑end GPU.

Things are heating up: GeForce NOW on Fire TV streaming sticks.

A new native app for Amazon Fire TV streaming sticks transforms the tiny device into a big‑screen cloud‑gaming endpoint, giving members another way to stream their PC libraries straight to the TV with a gamepad in hand. It builds on existing device support, making it easier for gamers to pick up and play from the couch without a console or gaming PC attached.

Clearer Skies Ahead

Cleared for takeoff in the cloud.

Flight‑control support has landed in the cloud, letting virtual pilots connect their favorite gear—including industry‑leading Thrustmaster and Logitech setups—to custom HOTAS configurations. Whether you’re locking in a full desktop throttle‑and‑stick rig or fine‑tuning a split‑cockpit arrangement, everything’s ready for takeoff.

Paired with the incredible RTX 5080‑powered performance available to Ultimate members, ultralow‑latency streaming, and NVIDIA Reflex in supported titles, pilots can now enjoy ultra‑precise, hyper‑immersive flight experiences straight from the cloud. Soaring over detailed landscapes in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, dogfighting in War Thunder, or exploring the stars in Elite Dangerous has never felt smoother.

Easier Sign‑Ins, Faster Game Time

GeForce NOW now supports new games — and more ways to get into them faster.

Because remembering passwords is so last season.

• Battle.net single sign‑on has joined the service, letting members jump straight into supported titles without juggling extra credentials each time.
• Gaijin.net integration is arriving early this year, making take‑off even smoother — one simple sign‑on connects more game libraries across devices.

Fewer passwords and pop‑ups mean more time playing — whether on a desktop, laptop, handheld device, or TV.

Next Up in the Cloud

A new wave of AAA titles is headed to GeForce NOW, bringing spies, survivors, and freeswords to the cloud for members to stream across their favorite devices. Each game offers a distinct flavor—from stealthy espionage to nerve‑shredding horror and gritty fantasy combat—and they’re all gearing up to join an already‑stacked GeForce NOW library when they launch on PC.

007 First Light

Earn the number.

IO Interactive’s 007 First Light brings a modern James Bond origin story to the cloud when the PC title launches May 27. Players step into the shadows as Bond begins his journey, experiencing a balanced mix of stealth and action built around a “breathing” gameplay loop and IOI’s cinematic, set‑piece‑driven storytelling. Encounters can be approached through stealth, direct action, or creative improvisation, with multiple viable paths to each objective that let players define Bond’s style.

Resident Evil Requiem

Welcome to the Wrenwood Hotel — late checkout is not recommended.

Capcom’s Resident Evil Requiem continues the legendary survival‑horror saga with a new chapter that doubles down on tense exploration, eerie environments, and resource‑tight combat. Expect dimly lit corridors, unsettling encounters, and that classic feeling of weighing every bullet and healing item before moving forward when playing as Grace, and exhilarating, death‑defying action when playing as Leon.

Active Matter

Everything matters in the cloud.

Gaijin Entertainment’s Active Matter (coming later this year) is a realistic military shooter where players join dangerous raids for loot or intense player‑vs‑player battles set in a fractured multiverse. “Active matter” can be harvested from transformed creatures or seized from other players. Join the never‑ending hunt to improve your chances of escaping the time loop.

Crimson Desert

Open world, closed casket.

Pearl Abyss’ Crimson Desert is a stunning open‑world action adventure set in a war‑torn fantasy land. It pairs large‑scale exploration with cinematic storytelling and hard‑hitting, combo‑focused combat. One moment you’re riding across windswept plains; the next you’re locked in a chaotic clash against towering foes, with mystical power effects lighting up the battlefield.

Why Play on GeForce NOW?

Playing these titles on GeForce NOW means jumping into big‑budget experiences with RTX 5080‑class performance, high frame rates, and advanced graphics features on a wide range of devices—without worrying about downloads, patches, or local hardware requirements. Members can pick up the same adventure on a desktop, laptop, handheld device, or TV, letting each world shine wherever and however they choose to play.

Hello New Games

Welcome back to the plague.

The eerie world of Pathologic 3 (Ice‑Pick Lodge / tinyBuild) invites players to step once again into a haunting town teetering on the edge of disaster. Time is fleeting, trust is scarce, and every conversation feels like a test of loyalty—or survival. With its signature blend of tension, philosophy, and dark humor, Pathologic 3 doesn’t just tell a story; it dares players to live through it.
