GeForce NOW's cloud streaming service continues to evolve, and in addition to confirming full DLSS 4.5 support, including the new DLSS 4.5 Ray Reconstruction, which is coming to subscribers on the Ultimate tier, NVIDIA is also expanding its support for Valve hardware.

GeForce NOW is adding support for the Steam Machine and Steam Controller 1

Building on the foundation of GeForce NOW's existing native Steam Deck support, later this fall, NVIDIA is adding support for the recently released Steam Machine and Steam Controller. Steam Controller support will arrive on the Steam Machine first, with Windows and macOS support to arrive later, making it easier for "Steam players to jump into the cloud using familiar hardware."

Naturally, for GeForce NOW Ultimate subscribers with a Steam Machine, this would unlock a new level of visual fidelity that wouldn't be possible on the device's RDNA 3 graphics card. With DLSS 4.5 Super Resolution and Dynamic Frame Generation, players can jump into some of the biggest games of 2026 with detail settings cranked and frame rates hitting 60+ FPS.

With five of the biggest PC titles out now or on the horizon coming to GeForce NOW, including Control Resonant, Gears of War: E-Day, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, The Blood of Dawnwalker, and Star Wars Zero Company, here's hoping the support arrives sooner rather than later.

With Steam Machine and Steam Controller joining the existing support for the Steam Deck, here's hoping that this extends to Valve's upcoming Steam Frame headset - which is reportedly due to launch anytime now.
