NVIDIA Launches Native Linux App for GeForce NOW Cloud Gaming

Market Impact

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 13 — NVIDIA has launched a native Linux app for its GeForce NOW cloud gaming service, marking its official exit from beta. The update introduces cloud optimizations to improve Frame Generation responsiveness and boosts frame rates for Performance members in demanding games. The service now supports Chromebooks, enabling students to stream high-performance PC games on school devices.

Malaysia Market Impact The new Linux app and Chromebook support could expand GeForce NOW’s user base in Malaysia, particularly among students and Linux users. The cloud-based gaming solution eliminates the need for high-end local hardware, making it accessible on a wider range of devices. Eligible new Chromebook owners in Malaysia may also benefit from a year of free GeForce NOW via Chromebook Fast Pass, though availability details are not yet confirmed.

Service Enhancements and New Games The native Linux app, built on community feedback, prioritizes performance, stability, and Ubuntu 24.04+ compatibility. A new Flatpak repository simplifies installation and updates. Cloud-side optimizations reduce latency in DLSS Frame Generation, enhancing responsiveness at 60 or 120 FPS in 1440p and 4K. Performance members will see improved frame rates in CPU-intensive titles without additional cost. Nine new games have also been added to the GeForce NOW library.

Outlook The expansion of GeForce NOW’s platform support aligns with growing demand for cloud gaming in education and casual use. The service’s cross-device compatibility—including Chromebooks, Macs, and mobile devices—positions it as a versatile option for Malaysian users. Further details on regional availability and promotions are expected in the coming weeks.
