Nvidia simply dropped the GeForce Now app for Steam Deck, and I’ve had the possibility to mess around with it earlier than launch. Fairly merely, it is a sport changer for the Steam Deck, with video games that beforehand have not run nicely on the getting older handheld now trying tremendous sharp.

Whereas the Steam Deck is totally the perfect gaming handheld for many avid gamers, its getting older {hardware} has seen it battle with among the newest triple-A releases, comparable to Doom The Darkish Ages, Clair Obscur Expedition 33, and Indiana Jones and the Nice Circle. Now, due to Nvidia’s native GeForce Now app, these video games are totally playable with nice efficiency.

GeForce Now has been out there on the Steam Deck by way of a direct hyperlink obtain for a while. Beforehand, you’ll obtain a script that primarily simply created a shortcut in Steam to the GeForce Now web site in Google Chrome.

Now, this native app contains a way more simple method, and it is constructed particularly for the Steam Deck, that means it runs a lot smoother in handheld and docked modes, whereas supporting resolutions as much as 1440p at 120Hz, or 4K at 60Hz, when related to an exterior monitor or TV, respectively.

Within the case of each of those video games, this body charge would both not be attainable or solely attainable by making large graphical compromises, comparable to aggressive FSR upscaling. Higher nonetheless, I discovered that there’s little or no latency when streaming these video games to the Steam Deck, with the one apparent moments occurring when my connection was flagging as interrupted.

An additional advantage to utilizing GeForce Now’s that it’s miles much less draining in your Steam Deck’s battery than working video games natively.
