Abstract: The article focuses on Nvidia's new GeForce Now native app for the Steam Deck, which significantly enhances the device's gaming capabilities. The app allows users to stream games from various PC gaming storefronts, improving performance and battery life compared to native gameplay. For instance, games like Doom: The Dark Ages and Witcher 3 run at higher frame rates and better graphics settings when streamed through GeForce Now, with battery life extending from around 1-2 hours to over 7 hours. The app supports all tiers of GeForce Now subscriptions, offering features like ray tracing and higher resolutions, making it a valuable addition for Steam Deck users seeking to play more demanding games.
