Nvidia and Valve are working to make GeFroce Now work better on Steam Deck

Nvidia and Valve are working together to improve the GeForce Now game streaming experience on Steam Deck. Now you can use the service on the console through a browser, but this causes some inconvenience in use due to a somewhat strange control system, since Steam Deck uses sticks and a crossbar. The problem can be solved by Steam's own program.

Here's What We Know

Andrew Fear, product manager of Nvidia GeForce Now, confirmed that both companies are interested in optimizing the gaming experience of the service on Steam Deck.

"As of today, there is no native version of Steam Deck," Fear said, "so players have to use the Chromium browser. It seems to me that Nvidia and Valve are both interested in improving this experience. But right now we don't have any announcements about a future Steam program."

Other portable consoles, in most cases for streaming, such as Razer Edge and Logitech's G Cloud use the native GeForce Now app for Android. Steam Deck's operating system, Steam OS, is based on Linux, so there is no such feature there yet.
