Streaming on Steam Deck is Now Easier

NVIDIA released a new native GeForce Now app -- let's take a look at the setup process, and how this service might be worth checking out (or avoiding).

Correction: you can now play in 90fps with the Steam Deck with this native app. When in the main menu, go to Settings ~ Gameplay ~ Mode and set it to Custom, then adjust the frame rate to 120fps. The game will run at 120fps in the game itself, but 90fps on the Steam Deck OLED models. The power requirement to run at 90fps vs 60fps is thankfully minor.

Tip: If you run into issues installing the bin file, right-click on it and select Properties ~ Permissions ~ and check "Allow executing file as program". Then right-click on the app and select "Run in Konsole".
