NVIDIA GeForce NOW Linux app is now officially available
© NVIDIA NVIDIA has officially moved its native GeForce NOW application for Linux out of beta. The client continues to support Ubuntu 24.04 and newer versions, while NVIDIA has also added an official Flatpak repository for installation and future updates.
We covered the Linux client when NVIDIA released the beta in January. At the time, NVIDIA was focusing on Ubuntu 24.04 as its tested Linux platform, although the Flatpak package could also run on other distributions. Six months later, NVIDIA says feedback from beta users has been used to improve performance and stability before today’s full release.
The updated NVIDIA download page now lists Linux without the previous beta label. Users can install GeForce NOW through NVIDIA’s .bin installer or add the official GeForce NOW Flatpak repository and install the com.nvidia.geforcenow package directly.
GeForce NOW gets cloud-side Frame Generation changes
© NVIDIA NVIDIA is also changing how DLSS Frame Generation operates through GeForce NOW. The company says new cloud optimizations reduce latency when Frame Generation is enabled , with the difference most visible when streaming at 60 or 120 FPS at 1440p and 4K. NVIDIA has not provided latency measurements for the updated implementation.
GeForce NOW Performance subscribers are receiving another server-side update aimed at CPU-intensive games. NVIDIA says server software changes can increase frame rates in selected titles. The update is deployed on NVIDIA’s side, so subscribers do not need to install anything or pay an additional fee.
NVIDIA is also adding nine games to GeForce NOW this week, including Hell Let Loose: Vietnam , Misery , Sandustry and the Monster Hunter Wilds Prologue Demo . The service currently supports more than 2,000 PC games from users’ existing libraries.
