6 Jan
Summary
- Nvidia will launch native GeForce Now apps for Linux and Amazon Fire TV.
- Full flight control support is coming to GeForce Now for flight simulators.
- GeForce Now's India launch has been delayed to early 2026.
Nvidia has completed its rollout of RTX 5080 for GeForce Now and is preparing to introduce several new features. In the upcoming months, the cloud gaming service will gain native applications for Linux and Amazon Fire TV devices, addressing long-standing user requests, particularly for the Linux community who have relied on workarounds.
The expansion into living rooms continues with an app for Amazon Fire TV, initially supporting Fire TV Stick 4K Plus and 4K Max. Furthermore, enthusiasts of flight simulation games will benefit from full flight control support, enabling joysticks and yokes from brands like Thrustmaster and Logitech to function seamlessly with streamed titles such as Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024.
Nvidia is also streamlining user access by enabling automatic sign-in for Battle.net accounts and will soon support Gaijin.net. While these enhancements are rolling out, the anticipated launch of GeForce Now in India, initially planned for last year, has been rescheduled to sometime in the first quarter of 2026.
