NVIDIA's native Linux app for GeForce NOW is officially out of beta. The cloud gaming service is also delivering new optimizations that make games feel even more responsive while streaming. Performance members will see higher frame rates in demanding games thanks to a CPU performance adjustment. Plus, GeForce NOW can now add high-performance GeForce RTX gaming to Chromebooks.
Linux App Goes Stable
Built on months of community feedback, the release focuses on performance, stability and polish while continuing to support Ubuntu 24.04 and later. A new Flatpak repository makes getting started and receiving future updates even easier.
The cloud handles the rendering, so Linux gamers can tap into the latest GeForce RTX performance while staying on their preferred setup — without local hardware upgrades, compatibility headaches or complicated workarounds.
Cloud Optimizations
GeForce NOW has optimized DLSS Frame Generation in the cloud, reducing latency and making games feel more responsive. The improvements are especially noticeable when streaming at 60 or 120 frames per second in 1440p and 4K, helping every mouse movement and camera pan feel more immediate.
Performance members will also enjoy additional server software optimizations to improve frame rates in select CPU-intensive games. The cloud-side upgrade happens automatically, with nothing for members to install or configure, at no additional cost.
Chromebook Gaming
Chromebooks already in backpacks can double as PC gaming powerhouses. Chromebooks handling lectures, group projects and browser tabs can transform into high-performance GeForce RTX gaming PCs in just a few clicks. When class is out, students can stream more than 2,000 supported PC games from existing libraries.
Plus, eligible new Chromebook and Chromebook+ owners can claim a year of GeForce NOW at no cost with Chromebook Fast Pass, with priority access and no ads.
New Games This Week
Nine new games join the GeForce NOW library this week, giving members more ways to move from assignments to adventures across nearly any device — including Macs, Surface devices, everyday laptops, Steam Deck and mobile devices.
