    Even though I will never use this, it’s very nice to see that steamdeck is becoming something games are optimized for. Really hope valve can keep up the momentum.

    Great, it doesn’t make sense not to have cloud gaming integrated easily. Especially if you already have the games in your library.

      I’ve used GeForce Now, out of like 200 steam games I have I can use like 20% on that platform. You can’t just install any gage you own.

        This isn’t Nvidia’s fault though.

        It went live so you could play anything on it and publishers pitched a fit. Presumably because they’d sold exclusive streaming rights to somebody else.

        Even though it’s literally none of their goddamn business where you run the games you already paid for.

        GFN connects to more than just steam and I’ve been able to play most titles that I want to on the service. I have the founders edition and it works great for me.

        200 steam games

        Rookie numbers.

        What? You only play Slay The Spire and Vampire Survivors? Those are still rookie numbers. We gotta pump those numbers up!

      Does this mean geforce now on Linux

      flatpak run --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 --command=/app/bin/chrome --file-forwarding com.google.Chrome @@u @@ --window-size=1024,640 --force-device-scale-factor=1.25 --device-scale-factor=1.25 --app=https://play.geforcenow.com

      It’s just an icon for the Flatpak version of Google Chrome opening play.geforcenow.com

      Hardly a game changer.

        That’s the current setup for playing Geforce Now on steam deck/linux. The app announced in the news post will be a native app, not just kiosk chrome wrapper. They also mentioned it will support HDR which currently isn’t possible with the kiosk chrome wrapper.

    Funny, juuuust when they limit the service to 100 hours monthly.

    Boosteroid has Linux apps, too. Maybe not too elegant for the Deck…
