“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.”

I would say that both Nvidia and Valve, I think we’re both interested in making [GeForce Now on Steam Deck] better.

To me, this is like saying that HP would want their printers to use non HP cartridges… The printers and the steam deck are not making much money by themselves, the money is made by selling the games or cartridges or subscription

As a user it would be nice to have it, but saying that it is something that Valve would obviously want invest in it, does not make sense to me

What does GeForce NOW offer that isn’t already on Linux? My drivers are updated automatically, and streaming through Moonlight/Sunshine is incredibly easy to setup. Okay, GeForce NOW can customize the settings of all of my games, but I’ve literally never used that feature because the settings they suggest are awful anyway.

You’re describing GeForce experience.

GeForce Now is the cloud gaming service.

Oh! I had never heard of that. My mistake. Is that different than Moonlight/Sunshine game steaming? Does it stream from the internet like (the now defunct) Stadia rather than a local machine?

It’s stadia but without the bullshit where you have to buy games just for their platform.

It also works better.
