Nvidia is taking its cloud gaming service, GeForce Now, to new heights with the announcement of a native app for Steam Deck and support for several major virtual reality (VR) headsets. The company revealed its plans in a recent blog post, marking a significant expansion of its cloud gaming capabilities.
The native GeForce Now app for Steam Deck, set to release later this year, will provide a seamless gaming experience with support for up to 4K resolution and 60 fps with HDR when connected to a TV. While it's currently possible to access GeForce Now on Steam Deck using a special script from Nvidia, the native app will simplify the installation process and offer improved performance.
In addition to the Steam Deck, Nvidia is also bringing GeForce Now to several prominent VR headsets, including Apple's Vision Pro, Meta's Quest 3 and Quest 3S, and Pico's virtual- and mixed-reality devices. This expansion is expected to take place later this month, with users able to access an extensive library of games by visiting play.geforcenow.com in their browser. The move marks a significant step forward for cloud gaming in the VR space, offering users a more comprehensive gaming experience.
Nvidia also announced that two major titles from Microsoft, Avowed and DOOM: The Dark Ages, will be available on GeForce Now when they launch later this year. Avowed is set to release on February 18th, while DOOM: The Dark Ages is expected to arrive sometime this year. The addition of these titles further bolsters GeForce Now's library, making it an increasingly attractive option for gamers.
The expansion of GeForce Now to new devices and platforms underscores Nvidia's commitment to cloud gaming and its efforts to make high-quality gaming more accessible to a wider audience. As the cloud gaming market continues to grow, Nvidia's moves are likely to have significant implications for the industry as a whole. With its native app for Steam Deck and support for major VR headsets, Nvidia is well-positioned to remain a key player in the cloud gaming space.
As the gaming landscape continues to evolve, it will be interesting to see how Nvidia's GeForce Now service develops and expands in the coming months and years. With its latest announcements, the company has demonstrated its willingness to push the boundaries of cloud gaming, and gamers are likely to reap the benefits.
