NVIDIA GeForce now gets huge upgrade: DLSS 4.5, new devices and major games revealed - Indiablooms
Summary
NVIDIA announced at Gamescom 2026 that GeForce NOW will introduce new DLSS 4.5 controls, expanded device support, and a lineup of major PC games. The service will add new NVIDIA DLSS 4.5 controls this fall, giving Ultimate members greater control over image quality and performance in supported games. The controls include DLSS Super Resolution, Dynamic Frame Generation, and Ray Reconstruction, allowing users to adjust supported games based on their preference for image quality, responsiveness or a balance between the two. NVIDIA said it will provide further details through GFN Thursdays on best practices for enabling DLSS 4.5 overrides and how Dynamic Frame Generation can help Ultimate members use higher graphics settings while maintaining smooth streaming. GeForce NOW will also add community-requested support for Steam Machine with Steam Controller later this fall, followed by support for Windows and macOS. The additions build on existing Steam Deck support and are designed to expand compatibility across the Steam ecosystem. NVIDIA has also introduced GOG single sign-on for GeForce NOW, allowing users to securely link their GOG account once, automatically sync supported games and launch them without repeatedly signing in. Popular titles such as Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt can be found through a dedicated GOG row in the GeForce NOW app. Users can also search or filter for supported GOG games. Meanwhile, GeForce NOW is now officially supported on Firefox, expanding browser access across major Windows browsers. Users can access supported PC games directly through Firefox without installing a dedicated app. Ultimate members can stream games at up to 1440p resolution and 120 frames per second, where supported. GeForce NOW is also expanding support to additional Amazon Fire TV devices, including the Fire TV Stick 4K Select. The service will soon be available on the Fire TV Stick 4K Select, allowing users to stream supported PC games through the cloud using a compatible controller. Later this year, Fire TV users will also be able to purchase GeForce NOW memberships directly through Amazon, creating a more streamlined route from device setup to cloud gaming.
