Nvidia is rolling out the GeForce Now 2.0.40 update this week with one key improvement affecting gamers using M1-based Mac computers. With the latest patch, these devices will now natively support the game streaming service’s macOS app.
Before the app, GeForce Now subscribers using M1-powered MacBooks, Mac mini, and iMac may have preferred streaming games through browsers that have natively supported on their computer's chip. But like most online services these days, users get the best experience through the official app for their devices. Luckily, they can now opt for the GeForce Now macOS app without worrying about native M1 support through the latest patch.
With GeForce Now version 2.0.40, Nvidia says the macOS app will be able to deliver better power efficiency and faster app loading times. The company also said in a blog post that the update should bring an “overall elevated GeForce NOW experience on M1-based MacBooks, iMacs and Mac Minis.”
GeForce Now subscribers using other devices will also benefit from the latest update, especially when searching for games through the app. Nvidia added a new Genre row that can be found at the bottom of the Games menu. Gamers will also be able to apply new sorting filters when searching for new games to play, including seeing all games available in certain regions and searching for games based on device type.
The GeForce Now app update also brings improvement to the Streaming Statistics Overlay as it now includes information on server-side rendering frame rates. “The overlay quickly toggles through Standard/Compact/Off using the hotkey Ctrl+N,” Nvidia added.
Nvidia also highlighted the addition of new games to the GeForce Now library, especially the 2.5D MMORPG “Lost Ark.” The game can now be streamed on PC, Mac, and Chromebook via the streaming service. On PC, the game can run at up to 1440p resolution or 1600p and 120 FPS. The company also announced the addition of 13 more games to the GeForce Now catalog, including new title releases like “Dune: Spice Wars,” “Holomento,” “Prehistoric Kingdom,” “Romans: Age of Caesar,” “Sea of Craft,” and “Trigon: Space Story.”
