Showing just how popular the Steam Deck is, NVIDIA are officially making it easier to get their cloud gaming service GeForce NOW on Steam Deck.

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.
