Nvidia's GeForce Now cloud gaming service will officially support Valve's Steam Controller and Steam Machine later this year. The expansion enables seamless controller compatibility across multiple platforms.
Steam Controller support arrives first on Steam Deck and Steam Machine when using the GeForce Now app. Windows and macOS users will receive the feature at a later date, Nvidia confirmed.
The Steam Controller, Valve's customizable gamepad, will now integrate fully with GeForce Now's cloud gaming ecosystem. This move aligns with Nvidia's effort to streamline the gaming experience across different hardware platforms.
The update is part of a broader service expansion. Nvidia is simultaneously rolling out new DLSS 4.5 controls, offering users enhanced graphics optimization options.
GeForce Now currently supports a wide range of controllers, but native Steam Controller integration addresses long-standing requests from the Valve hardware community. The timing coincides with continued momentum in cloud gaming adoption and Valve's push to establish Steam Deck as a primary portable gaming platform.
No specific release date has been announced beyond the "later this year" timeline for desktop platforms.
