NVIDIA released the beta version of its native GeForce Now app for Linux desktops on February 3, 2026, following a tease at CES 2026. Available as a Flatpak for Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and newer, it enables high-performance cloud gaming up to 5K at 120 FPS (or 1080p at 360 FPS) powered by RTX 5080 GPUs, matching Windows and macOS capabilities with DLSS 4, ray tracing, NVIDIA Reflex, and G-Sync.
NVIDIA has issued the GeForce Security Update Driver 582.28 to address vulnerabilities in its Maxwell, Pascal, and Volta-based graphics cards. This update follows the end of Game Ready Driver support for these architectures in October 2025. It provides quarterly security patches through October 2028 without game optimizations.

The Chinese government has reportedly approved DeepSeek's purchase of NVIDIA's advanced H200 AI chips, according to Reuters. This approval comes amid ongoing US restrictions and efforts by Chinese firms to acquire high-performance hardware. ByteDance, Alibaba, and Tencent have also received permission to buy a total of 400,000 such GPUs.
NVIDIA announced several updates to its GeForce NOW cloud gaming service during CES 2026, including native apps for Linux and Amazon Fire TV, flight control support, and new single sign-on features. The company also revealed upcoming AAA titles joining the platform, enhancing accessibility across devices. These developments aim to broaden gaming options without requiring high-end local hardware.

At CES 2026, analyst Philippe Ferragu described the event as a validation for Tesla's autonomous driving efforts, highlighting announcements from Mobileye and NVIDIA that echo Tesla's approach but lag behind by years. Elon Musk acknowledged NVIDIA's new Alpamayo system as helpful but predicted significant challenges for competitors in achieving full reliability. Ferragu estimated the industry trails Tesla by about 12 years in key technologies.
In the final days of 2025, Tesla's Optimus humanoid robot fell during a live demonstration, prompting widespread skepticism about Elon Musk's robotics ambitions. The incident, which went viral, highlighted ongoing challenges in achieving reliable humanoid automation. Despite the setback, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang recently endorsed Optimus as a potential multi-trillion-dollar opportunity.
