NVIDIA's GeForce Now game streaming platform has rolled out several minor yet impactful updates, particularly for GOG and VR headset users, as the company announced at the Game Developer's Conference (GDC). Among the most significant technical enhancements is a boost in frame rate for virtual reality headsets compatible with GeForce Now, such as the Apple Vision Pro and Meta Quest. Starting March 19, Ultimate subscribers will be able to stream content at 90 fps, up from the previous 60 fps, offering improved fluidity, responsiveness, and immersive realism.
A new feature currently in development is the introduction of in-app labels within the GeForce Now interface. Once users connect their Xbox or Ubisoft accounts, the app will display clear indicators directly on the game thumbnails, specifying which titles are accessible through their subscription services. NVIDIA is also broadening its account integration capabilities, adding GOG to the list of supported platforms, building upon the earlier announcement of Gaijin Entertainment's single-sign-on support at CES.
The service is further expanding its Install-to-Play library with select Xbox titles, including Double Fine Productions' Brutal Legend and Compulsion Games' Contrast. Additionally, several highly anticipated titles will launch directly on the cloud platform, such as Remedy's Control Resonant and Liquid Swords' Samson: A Tyndalston Story.
For context, NVIDIA's GeForce Now remains one of the leading cloud gaming services, especially following the integration of GeForce RTX 5080-powered servers, which were praised by Engadget's Devindra Hardawar as "indistinguishable from a high-end gaming rig." The service has recently expanded to Amazon Fire TV sticks and is available across a wide range of devices, including Windows and Mac PCs, NVIDIA's Shield, Android TV, smartphones, and more.
