Nvidia's cloud gaming service, GeForce Now, can now also be used on Linux PCs, although it is still in beta. The native GeForce Now app for Linux PCs supports Ubuntu 24.04 and later versions (FAQ, download). "It transforms compatible Linux systems into high-performance GeForce RTX-powered rigs, streaming supported PC titles directly from the cloud at up to 5K resolution and 120 frames per second, or 1080p at 360 fps," Nvidia says.
Nvidia: "This new desktop-focused app goes beyond the earlier Linux experience that was tuned specifically for Steam Decks, which targeted handheld-friendly resolutions and up to 1200p at 90 fps. The beta Linux app is built for PCs and notebooks, offering an experience similar to the existing GeForce Now app on Windows and macOS." There are also native GeForce Now apps available for Chromebooks, mobile devices, smart TVs and more.
Alongside this expansion to Linux PCs come ten new games that are playable on GeForce Now, including The Midnight Walkers, Cairn, Half Sword, Vampires: Bloodlord Rising (Steam), The Bard's Tale Trilogy (Steam and Xbox), The Bard's Tale IV: Director's Cut (Steam and Xbox) and Total War: Three Kingdoms (Epic Games Store). Delta Force, developed by Team Jade, will be playable via GeForce Now on 3 February.
