NVIDIA is expanding the usage environment of its cloud gaming service 'GeForce NOW' by broadening its support range. On the occasion of Gamescom 2026, NVIDIA announced that it will apply its latest graphics technology, DLSS 4.5, to the cloud environment while also extending the service to various devices and platforms, including the Steam ecosystem, Firefox, and Amazon Fire TV.

■ DLSS 4.5 Applied to the Cloud... Settings Features Offered to Ultimate Members

On the technical side, starting this fall, GeForce NOW Ultimate members will be offered settings related to DLSS 4.5. The approach improves image quality through DLSS Super Resolution and reduces latency and screen stuttering with the dynamic frame generation feature. Ray Reconstruction is also supported, enhancing graphics rendering that utilizes ray tracing. Users can adjust settings to their desired level between image quality and responsiveness.

■ Support Added for Steam Machine and Steam Controller... Improved GOG Integration Convenience

Supported devices are also increasing. NVIDIA plans to add GeForce NOW support for the Steam Machine and Steam Controller this fall, and will subsequently expand related support to Windows and macOS. This is a move to strengthen connectivity with Steam-based hardware in addition to the existing Steam Deck support.

Accessibility for GOG users has also been improved. Once a GOG account is linked with GeForce NOW, supported games are automatically synchronized, and afterward games can be launched without repeatedly logging in separately. Major GOG-based titles such as 'Cyberpunk 2077' and 'The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt' can also be used on GeForce NOW.

■ Official Firefox Support... Enhanced Living Room TV Accessibility

Web browser accessibility has also broadened. With GeForce NOW officially supporting Firefox, NVIDIA has expanded the foundation for using cloud gaming on major browsers in Windows environments. Games can be accessed through the browser without installing a separate app, and Ultimate members can use the service at up to 1440p resolution and 120 frames per second in supported environments.

Support for living room devices will also be strengthened. NVIDIA plans to expand its existing Amazon Fire TV support so that GeForce NOW can be used on the 'Fire TV Stick 4K Select' as well. By connecting a compatible controller, PC games can be run via the cloud on large TV screens. Within this year, a feature to purchase GeForce NOW membership directly through Amazon is also scheduled to be added.

■ Five New Titles Offered Simultaneously... Library Bolstered Significantly This Week

Expansion of game content is proceeding in parallel. NVIDIA plans to offer five highly anticipated titles on GeForce NOW simultaneously with their release: 'CONTROL Resonant', 'Gears of War: E-Day', 'Onimusha: Way of the Sword', 'The Blood of Dawnwalker', and 'STAR WARS Zero Company'.

In particular, GeForce NOW Ultimate members can utilize GeForce RTX 5080-level performance in the cloud environment, with graphics technologies such as DLSS 4, ray tracing, and NVIDIA Reflex also supported. On some supported devices, up to 5K HDR streaming is provided.

This week, numerous games will be added to the GeForce NOW library or included in the supported lineup, including 'Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2', 'Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy', 'STAR WARS Zero Company', 'Baldur's Gate 3', 'Clair Obscur: Expedition 33', 'Kingdom Come: Deliverance II', 'No Man's Sky', and 'The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt'.

NVIDIA appears to be expanding GeForce NOW beyond a cloud service that simply replaces high-spec PCs, into a gaming platform that connects browsers, TVs, portable devices, and even the Steam ecosystem. Alongside securing new games, the company is simultaneously strengthening device compatibility and graphics technology support, which is interpreted as a strategy to broaden its service touchpoints in the cloud gaming market.
