NVIDIA GeForce Now is Now Available on Amazon Fire TV and Linux

February 19, 2026 Posted by Jonathan Adams Editorial No Comments

NVIDIA GeForce Now, which is a cloud service, has announced that it is expanding once again. In 2026, the company announced that it would be releasing a new native app for Amazon Fire TV Sticks. The cloud service is also coming to Linux. If you’re on Linux, the GeForce Now app is going to support Ubuntu 24.04 and above. It’s also going to support the RTX-5080-powered server, so you can stream at 5K resolution and up to 120 frames per second.

Performance is key.

A Full Cloud Service Package

As GeForce Now is a cloud streaming service, the heavy lifting is done by NVIDIA and its servers. As the device just has to stream the video and send the input back to the server, people can now access more content than ever. 

Netflix operates on a similar model, in the fact that everything is stored on servers, allowing old televisions and even those with slow internet connections to stream content consistently and reliably. UK casino games also use servers to host games to eliminate the need to download content. As the games are all stored on a server, all you need is an internet connection to access them. Even though the titles might be complex, the fact that they can be run smoothly without needing an expensive setup has helped to spur on the industry, meaning there’s more content by the year, and it’s all as accessible as it ever was. 

NVIDIA is hoping to create a similar experience, with the service set to include support for specialist controllers. This includes flight control systems and other related gadgets, meaning that content can be accessed on the cloud without compromising the experience.

NVIDIA Have Updated Their Limits

According to the latest data, NVIDIA has also updated its monthly limits. Users have a 100-hour cap to access the cloud every month, with the option to access more if you pay a small fee. You can also sign up with the Founder Scheme if you want to remove this limit. With NVIDIA embracing the Amazon Fire TV Stick and with GeForce Now bringing high-performance gaming to more homes than ever, it’s clear that entertainment is being reshaped across the board. 

NVIDIA’s move to embrace platforms and alternative systems like Linux is helping to ensure that content is not only more accessible, but it’s also more widely available. As the cloud scales and as NVIDIA grows its user base, it wouldn’t be surprising to see things being taken that one step further, either. With the UK embracing the cloud as such a versatile piece of technology and with more companies adopting it for a range of purposes, we can expect to see more content as well as more accessibility for those who may not have state-of-the-art systems.

With companies like Netflix catering to mobile users more, NVIDIA embracing alternative devices, like the Amazon Fire TV Stick, is a clear step forward. As time goes on, it’s going to be interesting to see what route they take and how much they’re willing to invest in this new venture.
