Nvidia GeForce NOW cloud games are currently only playable through a browser on Steam Deck, but both Nvidia and Valve have expressed interest in improving the experience of GeForce Now on Steam Deck.
Andrew Fear, Nvidia’s GeForce Now product manager, confirmed that both Nvidia and Steam are interested in simplifying the GeForce Now experience on Steam Deck. “There isn’t a native app on Steam Deck to play GeForce Now,” he said. “I think, Nvidia and Valve, I think we’re all interested in making [GeForce Now on Steam Deck] better. But we don’t have anything on Steam. Announcement for Deck’s native app.”
Other cloud gaming handhelds, such as Razer’s Edge and Logitech’s G Cloud, already support the GeForce Now Android app for a better cloud gaming experience. As a Linux handheld, Steam Deck is indeed poor in terms of application adaptation. I hope that the plans of both parties can be truly fulfilled.
