NVIDIA updated its GeForce Now cloud-gaming service at Game Developers Conference, adding native GOG account linking and a 90 fps streaming mode for compatible VR headsets, including Apple Vision Pro and Meta Quest. The 90 fps option, available to Ultimate subscribers starting March 19, was introduced to boost visual smoothness and responsiveness in virtual reality play.
The update also brought in-app labels that highlight playable titles tied to linked Xbox and Ubisoft accounts, plus expanded account linking to include GOG alongside previously supported services. GeForce Now is also growing its Install-to-Play library with select Xbox titles and will host several new releases at cloud launch.
For players, higher frame rates and clearer account-based labeling reduced friction when jumping into games across devices, improving immersion and discoverability. The changes reinforce a trend toward platform interoperability and higher-fidelity cloud experiences for VR and cross-device gamers.
