GeForce Now is a great choice for game streaming, if you have a good internet connection and a beefy Steam library. Today Linux gamers get in on the action with a native GeForce Now app. <\/p>\n<p>Linux gamers could already access GeForce Now via just about any browser, and it reportedly worked pretty well, so long as you could get a controller to cooperate when necessary. (Ditto for Windows, Mac, and Chrome.) But a dedicated app should be a little smoother and more stable, especially if you\u2019re hoping to take advantage of its maximum limits. Previously the Linux browser version was capped at 1200p and 90hz, but the dedicated app can hit 5K resolution at 120Hz, or up to 360Hz if you scale it down to 1080p. Presumably both of those need the $20 a month Ultimate tier.<\/p>\n<p>Nvidia says the app is designed for \u201cPCs and notebooks,\u201d pointedly leaving out the Steam Deck and its Linux-derived SteamOS. That\u2019s because there\u2019s already a dedicated GeForce Now app for the Steam Deck. There are also dedicated apps for the Asus ROG Ally, Lenovo Legion Go, and MSI Claw. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcworld.com\/article\/3046949\/nvidia-geforce-now-streaming-gets-native-linux-app.html\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nvidia&#8217;s GeForce Now arrives on Linux with up to 360Hz streaming https:\/\/www.pcworld.com\/article\/3046949\/nvidia-geforce-now-streaming-gets-native-linux-app.html Publish Date: 2026-01-29&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":207767,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.pcworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image_94a8d2.png?w=1024","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[48],"tags":[71],"class_list":["post-207766","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-linux","tag-linux"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/207766"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=207766"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/207766\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":207768,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/207766\/revisions\/207768"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/207767"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=207766"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=207766"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=207766"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
