NVIDIA’s GeForce Now game streaming platform has added a few minor but useful updates, especially for GOG and VR headset users, the company announced at Game Developer’s Conference (GDC). The biggest technical improvement is for virtual reality headsets that support GeForce Now like the Apple Vision Pro and Meta Quest. Starting next week (March 19), those devices will be able to stream at 90 fps for Ultimate members (up from 60 fps) for improved smoothness, responsiveness and realism.
Another helpful update is in-app labels coming “soon” to GeForce Now. Once you connect an Xbox or Ubisoft_ account, you’ll see clear labels directly on game art inside the GeForce Now app showing exactly what’s available to play from your subscription services. NVIDIA is also expanding account linking, adding GOG to the roster of services on top of Gaijin single-sign announced at CES.
GeForce Now is also expanding its Install-to-Play library with select Xbox titles including Brutal Legend from Double Fine Productions and Compulsion Games’ Contrast. The service will also see several anticipated games directly on the cloud service at launch, namely Remedy’s Control Resonant and Samson: A Tyndalston Story from Liquid Swords.
As a reminder, NVIDIA’s GeForce Now is one of the better cloud gaming services out there, particularly since it added GeForce RTX 5080-powered servers that Engadget’s Devindra Hardawar called “indistinguishable from a powerful rig.” The service recently came to Fire TV sticks and is available on Windows and Mac PCs, NVIDIA’s Shield, Android TV, smartphones and many other devices.
