February marks the ongoing sixth-anniversary celebration for GeForce NOW, NVIDIA’s cloud gaming service.
This week brings exciting news with GeForce NOW launching on a new platform, offering support for Amazon Fire TV devices, alongside the addition of eight new games to enhance the streaming experience.
The new application allows GeForce NOW members to access their PC game libraries directly on select Amazon Fire TV devices, enabling gameplay on the largest screen in their home using a compatible controller.
Cloud Gaming Expands Device Support
GeForce NOW continues to broaden its accessibility across various devices, now including Linux. From personal computers and Macs to smartphones, web browsers, and smart TVs, the cloud service delivers high-performance gaming to a wider range of screens than ever before.
Users can leverage GeForce RTX power on their existing screens, maximizing their membership value without requiring additional hardware or complex setups. This reach further expands with the introduction of the GeForce NOW app on Amazon Fire TV.
The GeForce NOW app is enhancing the living room gaming experience by launching on Amazon Fire TV streaming sticks, bringing PC-quality performance to big-screen gaming.
GeForce RTX performance on Amazon Fire TV.
The GeForce NOW app for Fire TV is now available. Initial support includes the Fire TV Stick 4K Plus (2nd Gen) with Fire OS 8.1.6.0 and later, Fire TV Stick 4K Max (2nd Gen) with Fire OS 8.1.6.0 and later, and Fire TV Stick 4K Max (1st Gen) with Fire OS 7.7.1.1 and later. Streaming is supported at up to 1080p60 with standard-dynamic-range graphics, H.264 video encoding, and stereo audio. Fire TV owners now have a more powerful option for big-screen gaming.
Simply connect a controller, open the app, and instantly stream favorite titles with RTX power driving every pixel, eliminating the need for a console. Cloud gaming has become even more integrated into the home entertainment setup.
Explore the Ninth World
Words hit harder than weapons.
Torment: Tides of Numenera, an acclaimed role-playing game from inXile Entertainment, emphasizes player choices, character interactions, and dialogue. It blends science fiction and fantasy within a unique, vibrant world where every conversation and decision holds significance.
The adventure unfolds in the “Ninth World,” a distant future Earth built upon the remnants of highly advanced civilizations. Players assume the role of the Last Castoff, an individual linked to a powerful, enigmatic figure, and become embroiled in a mystery that explores the profound question: What is the true meaning of a single life? The game offers memorable companions, challenging moral dilemmas, and numerous peculiar, engaging scenarios, diverging from a typical hero-saves-the-world narrative.
On GeForce NOW, this narrative-rich experience is easily accessible without requiring a high-end gaming rig. Gaming sessions can be seamlessly resumed across supported devices, allowing players to dive back into the Ninth World whenever the story beckons.
