Nvidia has released a new weekly update for GeForce NOW for simulation fans. The company has officially added support for flight control devices on its cloud gaming platform. This is a feature users have been asking for a long time.
Nvidia first talked about flight stick support during CES earlier this year. It was announced alongside native Linux support and the Amazon Fire TV app. Now the feature is finally live, and it changes how flight and space simulation games feel on the service.
With this update, players can use proper stick and throttle setups while streaming games from the cloud. Nvidia says the goal is to deliver a real hands-on flying experience without adding noticeable lag. The company claims latency remains low and gameplay stays responsive, even with complex control inputs.
At launch, GeForce NOW supports several popular flight control devices. These include the Thrustmaster T.Flight Hotas One, Hotas 4, and Rudder Pedals. Logitech’s X52 Hotas and Pro Hotas are also supported. Nvidia has confirmed that more flight control hardware will be added in future updates.
Along with the new feature, Nvidia has also expanded the list of games supported on GeForce NOW this week. These additions include new releases across Steam, Epic Games Store, and Xbox platforms.
The newly supported games include MIO: Memories in Orbit, which is available on Steam and Xbox and also part of Game Pass. Bladesong has launched on Steam, while Rustler is now live on the Epic Games Store and is free to claim for a limited time. Nvidia has also added The Gold River Project, which is marked as GeForce RTX 5080 ready.
It is important to note that GeForce NOW does not work like Game Pass or EA Play. Players still need to own the game or have a valid license, such as through PC Game Pass, to play it on Nvidia’s cloud servers. There is also a monthly limit on playtime, depending on the subscription plan.
