Summary
GeForce NOW has taken its native Linux app out of beta, adding an official release for Ubuntu 24.04 and later with a new Flatpak repository for easier installs and updates.
Cloud-side optimizations also reduce DLSS Frame Generation latency, with the biggest gains at 60 or 120 fps in 1440p and 4K streams, making gameplay feel more responsive.
Performance members are getting automatic server software upgrades that raise frame rates in select CPU-intensive games, with no extra cost or local setup required.
More than 2,000 supported PC games remain accessible across Chromebooks, Macs, Steam Deck and mobile devices, while eligible new Chromebook owners can claim 1 free year of GeForce NOW through Chromebook Fast Pass.
The update arrives alongside 9 new games in the library, as NVIDIA pushes GeForce NOW as a back-to-school option for turning everyday devices into cloud gaming machines.
