Nvidia has announced the expansion of its cloud gaming service, GeForce Now, with the introduction of native apps for Linux and Amazon’s Fire TV devices. Additionally, the company is implementing full flight control support for Microsoft Flight Simulator on the platform.
The addition of a native Linux app is a significant development for GeForce Now users, who previously had to rely on unofficial apps or browser workarounds to access the service. The new app will initially be available as a beta for Ubuntu 24.04 and newer, providing stable graphics drivers and consistent system libraries.
Nvidia is also broadening the accessibility of GeForce Now by introducing support for Amazon Fire TV devices. The upcoming app will debut on Fire TV Stick 4K Plus and 4K Max, allowing users to stream PC games to their television screens using just a controller.
For enthusiasts of Microsoft Flight Simulator, Nvidia is set to implement full flight control support on GeForce Now, enabling compatibility with devices from Thrustmaster and Logitech. This enhancement will allow users to connect joysticks or yokes to devices like laptops and stream the game with fully functional controls.
