Nvidia is reportedly preparing to launch native support for its GeForce Now cloud gaming service on Linux operating systems later in 2026. This move aims to eliminate the need for workarounds currently used by Linux users, including those on Steam Deck. The announcement comes amid speculation and a separate controversy over a new playtime cap.
NVIDIA's GeForce Now cloud gaming service marks its sixth anniversary, having streamed over one billion hours of gameplay since launch. February 2026 brings new titles, including tactical shooters Delta Force and PUBG: Blindspot, alongside support for RTX 5080-class performance. These updates aim to enhance accessibility for PC gamers without high-end local hardware.

Building on Nvidia's CES 2026 launch of native GeForce Now apps for Linux (Ubuntu 24.04+) and Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max (2nd gen)—enabling up to 4K ray-traced or 5K/120 FPS cloud gaming—the service now boasts over 25 million members. This expansion targets budget hardware and open-source users, sparking excitement and some compatibility concerns.
