New Hardware Support
NVIDIA is working with leading handheld gaming PC makers to bring GeForce NOW to these devices, where the service can double battery life, because the SoC is only handling the streaming service, not rendering the game locally. NVIDIA announced that Valve Steam Deck comes with 90 FPS mode on GeForce NOW, and Lenovo Legion Go S supports up to 120 FPS. There are a host of new handheld devices being planned specifically for cloud gaming, which does away with the bulk of having a whole Windows PC environment on the device.

Besides improving things for the handheld console crowd, NVIDIA also added hardware support for new game controller types, such as racing wheels, including haptics. The company is working with LG to add GeForce NOW apps to LG TVs and PC monitors. On TVs, the GeForce NOW app supports up to 4K 120 FPS with HDR. On monitors, depending on the model, resolutions as high as 5K 120 FPS are supported.
NVIDIA is offering a free, ad-supported version of GeForce NOW for people looking to try the platform. All serious gaming begins with the paid GeForce NOW Performance tier, priced at $9.99/month for 1440p @ 60 FPS gaming, and 6-hour gaming sessions. The Ultimate tier gives you performance resembling an RTX 5080, priced at $19.99, with 8-hour gaming sessions, up to 4K @ up to 240 FPS resolution. Persistent storage starts at $2.99 per month for 200 GB, $4.99 per month for 500 GB, and $7.99 per month for 1 TB. The Ultimate RTX 5080 tier will begin rolling out from September 2025.
