NVIDIA’s GeForce Now game streaming platform has received several minor but useful updates, particularly for GOG users and VR headsets, the company announced at the Game Developers Conference (GDC). The most significant technical improvement applies to VR headsets that support GeForce Now, such as the Apple Vision Pro and Meta Quest. Starting next week (March 19), these devices will be able to stream video at 90 frames per second for Ultimate subscribers (previously 60 frames per second), improving smoothness, responsiveness, and realism.
At the GDC trade show, company representatives also announced an expansion of their account synchronization ecosystem. In the coming months, players will be able to directly link their libraries from GOG digital stores and publisher Gaijin services. These platforms will join existing integrations with competitors’ platforms, including Ubisoft Connect. Additionally, special labels will appear in the app interface indicating the availability of titles through an Xbox Game Pass subscription. This will significantly simplify launching purchased games on a remote PC.
The library of available titles will also be expanded with new Install-to-Play titles. The catalog will include classic console hits Brütal Legend and the atmospheric puzzler Contrast. The biggest news for cloud gaming fans is the announcement of support for upcoming blockbusters, including CONTROL Resonant and the highly anticipated action game Samson.
NVIDIA’s GeForce Now service is one of the best cloud gaming services on the market, especially since it added servers powered by the GeForce RTX 5080, which, according to Devindra Hardawar of Engadget, are “indistinguishable from a powerful gaming PC.” The service recently became available for Fire TV Stick and works on Windows and Mac PCs, NVIDIA Shield, Android TV, smartphones, and many other devices.
