GeForce Now adds Firefox support five years after Chrome, now live

Nvidia says it set a “high bar” for any browser integrating GeForce Now without added programs, and Firefox has seemingly met its standards as in-browser support for the game streaming service goes live.

GeForce Now adds Firefox support five years after Chrome, now live

Nvidia has announced that Firefox now supports GeForce Now, a cloud gaming service, five years after Chrome added it. The company set a high standard for browser integration, and Firefox has managed to meet those expectations. While Chrome has had in-browser support for GeForce Now since 2021, the standalone app has been available on most operating systems for some time.

Now, Firefox users on Windows machines can access GeForce Now directly through the browser without the need for additional programs or plugins. To use the service, users simply need to connect to GeForce Now's website and start playing their games. Nvidia expects Premium members to enjoy up to 1440p resolution and 120 frames per second while streaming through Firefox.

Mozilla explained that the integration took longer than expected due to Firefox's focus on privacy and granular user controls, as cloud gaming services like GeForce Now require significant performance and bandwidth. Nvidia emphasized that it set a high bar for browser support, highlighting the company's commitment to expanding GeForce Now's compatibility.

This integration follows a series of partnerships between Nvidia and other platforms, such as Fire TV, where the GeForce Now app is also available. Streaming GeForce Now through Firefox does not require a controller, the same as in Google Chrome or the dedicated app. Nvidia and Mozilla anticipate more developments for users who prefer streaming their games.
