GeForce NOW app for Steam Deck has arrived

NVIDIA have today officially released their GeForce NOW native app for the Steam Deck, to give a better experience than using a browser with more features.

They said "The app is now available, and gamers can stream titles on the Steam Deck at up to 4K 60 frames per second — connected to a TV — with HDR10, NVIDIA DLSS 4 and Reflex technologies on supported titles. Plus, members can run these games at settings and performance levels that aren’t possible natively on the Steam Deck. To top it off, Steam Deck users can enjoy up to 50% longer battery life when streaming from an RTX gaming rig in the cloud."

This is for playing games you already own, or free to play games.

To get it you need to be in Desktop Mode. Via the STEAM menu -> Power -> Switch to Desktop:

Then download it from their website in your browser. Installation should be easy, with the supplied installer they provide that walks you through it. You'll find it in your Downloads folder. Simply double-click it, hit Execute and then Continue and it will pop up with the installer.

After which, you can simply go back to Gaming Mode and find it in the Non-Steam section of your Steam Library.

NVIDIA gave early access to a whole bunch of other sites but did not send anything to GamingOnLinux.

Even though it has been announced and "released", the download page at time of writing has not been updated to the new app. So looks like they either forgot, or it's going to be updated sometime today. Update 2:24 UTC - the download link has now been corrected to the new app.

This will be really great for playing games where the developer has not enabled the anti-cheat.
