NVIDIA has expanded the reach of its cloud gaming service, GeForce NOW. The company has now officially brought the platform to Amazon Fire TV devices. Along with this expansion, eight more games have also been added to the supported list this week.
This update is part of Nvidia’s regular weekly rollout for Nvidia’s GeForce NOW. The Fire TV support was first announced during CES 2026. At that time, Nvidia also confirmed a native Linux app and flight stick support. Those features have already gone live, and now Fire TV users can finally stream PC games directly on their televisions.
The GeForce NOW app is now available for supported Fire TV models. These include Fire TV Stick 4K Plus 2nd Gen with Fire OS 8.1.6.0 or later, Fire TV Stick 4K Max 2nd Gen with Fire OS 8.1.6.0 or later, and Fire TV Stick 4K Max 1st Gen with Fire OS 7.7.1.1 or later.
The streaming is limited to 1080p at 60 frames per second. It uses standard dynamic range graphics, H.264 video encoding, and stereo audio. Users will also need a compatible controller to play games on Fire TV. It does not support keyboard and mouse in this setup.
From a practical point of view, this move makes sense. Fire TV devices are widely used, and adding GeForce NOW support means more users can access PC games without investing in expensive hardware. For casual gamers, this can turn a basic streaming stick into a gaming device. However, the 1080p limit shows that Nvidia is still positioning this as a balanced cloud experience rather than a full high end replacement for gaming PCs or consoles.
Alongside platform expansion, eight games have joined the GeForce NOW library this week. These include:
- Disciples: Domination
- REANIMAL
- Kingdom Come: Deliverance
- Capcom Beat ‘Em Up Bundle
- Capcom Fighting Collection
- Mega Man 11
- Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection
- Torment: Tides of Numenera
Titles like REANIMAL are new releases, while others expand options across action, RPG, and fighting genres. Some games are also accessible through PC Game Pass, which gives added flexibility for subscribers.
It is important to understand how GeForce NOW works. Unlike services such as Xbox Game Pass or EA Play, this is not an all access content subscription. Users must own the game on a supported store like Steam or have a valid Game Pass license. Only then can they stream it via Nvidia’s servers. There is also a monthly playtime limit depending on the subscription tier.
In my view, bringing GeForce NOW to Fire TV is a strategic move. Smart TVs and streaming sticks are becoming central entertainment hubs. If Nvidia can deliver stable performance with low latency, this could attract users who do not want to buy a console or build a gaming PC. At the same time, the service still depends heavily on internet quality. In markets where broadband is inconsistent, the experience may not always be smooth.
