NVIDIA has released another GeForce NOW update for August, and this one brings two important changes for cloud gaming users. The native Linux app has officially left beta, while NVIDIA has also optimized DLSS Frame Generation to make cloud gaming feel more responsive.
The Linux app has been developed with feedback from the GeForce NOW community. NVIDIA says the final release focuses on performance, stability and overall polish.
The app supports Ubuntu 24.04 and later. NVIDIA has also introduced a new Flatpak repository, making it easier to install the app and receive future updates.
NVIDIA is also making changes to DLSS on its cloud gaming servers. The company says GeForce NOW users should notice better responsiveness when using DLSS Frame Generation. The improvement should be more noticeable when streaming games at 60 or 120 FPS at 1440p or 4K.
Frame Generation creates additional frames to increase the perceived frame rate. However, it can also introduce additional latency. NVIDIA’s latest optimization is aimed at reducing that impact while streaming games from its cloud servers.
Nine more games join GeForce NOW
The latest update also adds nine games to the GeForce NOW library:
- Car Wash Simulator (Steam)
- Pax Autocratica (Steam)
- Clawed (Steam)
- Hell Let Loose: Vietnam (Steam)
- Sandustry (Steam, Xbox)
- Cat Mail Co. (Steam)
- Misery (Steam)
- Monster Hunter Wilds Prologue Demo (Steam)
- Pratfall (Steam)
Several of these are new releases, including Car Wash Simulator, Pax Autocratica, Clawed, Hell Let Loose: Vietnam and Sandustry.
NVIDIA has also promised more additions throughout August.
GeForce NOW is different from services such as Xbox Game Pass. It does not provide a library of games as part of the subscription.
Instead, users connect supported stores and stream games they already own. PC Game Pass can also provide access to some supported games without buying them separately.
