The big news this week is that GeForce NOW is transforming the Steam Deck experience with a brand-new native app! In addition to that, there are six new titles joining the service! Read on for all of the details!
Revolutionising Handheld Gaming
The introduction of the native GeForce NOW app for the Steam Deck is quite possibly one of the strongest pairings and biggest developments in cloud gaming to date! Players can now connect their Steam Deck to a TV and stream games at up to 4K resolution at 60 frames per second, complete with HDR10, DLSS 4, and Reflex on supported titles. This means graphically intensive AAA games can be enjoyed at maximum settings without the limitations of the Steam Deck’s native hardware. Furthermore, Steam Deck users can benefit from up to 50% longer battery life when streaming from a powerful RTX gaming rig in the cloud, ensuring extended gaming sessions on the go.
This means that Steam Deck gamers can enjoy the perks of an RTX 4080 GPU from the comfort of their own handhelds! Imagine diving into titles like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, Monster Hunter Wilds, and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 with stunning visuals and smooth performance, all from the comfort of your Steam Deck!
