GeForce Now is a game streaming service. It was previously possible to use it on deck, but Nvidia is making it much easier to install and get set up. They also recently improved gamepad navigation of their service.
To install, go to their install page in desktop mode and scroll down to the steam deck option. Download and run the script.
The advantage of streaming services like this is getting great performance on lower power devices, and minimal battery usage.
I just went to download it. All it is is a script that downloads Google Chrome Flatpak and adds a shortcut to Steam.
I’ve already done this with Heroic Launcher. And I have no interest in Chrome.
Speaking of, what browser do you use for this? I have tried Vivaldi but even in its default “trust me bro, I’m Chrome” user agent it says it’s not supported. Firefox says it’s supported but I got no stream and in the end I despise less Edge compared to Chrome so that’s what I’m using…
I haven’t tried it, but I’m assuming the steam launch shortcut will have custom launch arguments to launch chrome as a full screen web app instead of the typical browser UI.
Works perfectly via HGL. Full screen and all. Same goes for Xbox Cloud.
