You can jury-rig your own GeForce Now app on Deck, but a native Linux app would be such an easy win.

“There is not a native app on Steam deck today,” said Andrew Fear, GFN boss, back in January. “Use a Chromium browser to make it work. I would say that both Nvidia and Valve, I think we’re both interested in making [GeForce Now on Steam Deck] better. But we don’t have any announcements on a native app coming to Steam.”

    Been using Xbox GamePass w/ GeForce Now for a while and can’t see why anyone wouldn’t like it. For $30/mo I can play on any device, anywhere with a decent internet connection. It uses almost no power, so my batteries last forever. I get the best gaming experience available on my gaming monitor without spending thousands on hardware that sits totally unused for 99% of the day. My room does not heat up to 100*F. I get access to a wide variety of top-tier games for a minimal fee. It’s pretty great.

      can’t see why anyone wouldn’t like it.

      Input latency and compression artifacts but hey, if it works good for you, I’m happy for you. I’m not here to stir drama about game streaming.

        Haven’t noticed any of either during my time. At least not with any degree of frequency. Probably not something you want to be playing competitively on, if that’s what you’re into.

        Lots and lots of people have reviewed them at this point with similar results.
