Nvidia's GeForce Now cloud gaming service will officially support Valve's Steam Controller and Steam Machine starting later this year. With Steam Controller support, you'll be able to play games with Valve's great new gamepad when using the GeForce Now app on your Steam Deck or Steam Machine. If you're using GeForce Now on Windows or macOS, support for the Steam Controller is coming “later,†Nvidia says.
GeForce Now is getting a few other upgrades, too. Nvidia will soon add new DLSS 4.5 controls for DLSS Super Resolution, Dynamic Frame Generation, and Ray Reconstruction. (Ray Reconstruction is also officially launching for RTX GPUs in early access.) The previously-announced GOG single sign on is now available. The service will come to more of Amazon's Fire TV Sticks “later this year,†and you'll be able to buy a subscription through Amazon. And as of last week, you can officially use GeForce Now on Firefox.
Nvidia's Gamescom announcements also include news for its upcoming RTX Spark chip family: EA, Embark, and Ubisoft are planning to support the chip, which is set to launch this fall, with games like EA Sports F1 25, Apex Legends, Arc Raiders, and Anno 117: Pax Romana. EA is also working on native support for its Javelin Anticheat technology for the company's “biggest multiplayer games.â€
Nvidia also shared details about 007 First Light's path tracing update launching in September, upgrades to RTX Remix, and more, and you can read about everything that's new in the company's blog post.
