“There is not a native app on Steam deck today,” said Andrew Fear, GFN boss, back in January. “Use a Chromium browser to make it work. I would say that both Nvidia and Valve, I think we’re both interested in making [GeForce Now on Steam Deck] better. But we don’t have any announcements on a native app coming to Steam.”

    It’s a Steam Deck. Connected to Steam. I don’t think many people are suffering from a shortage of Steam games to play.

    “Yes, Andrew Fear (great name by the way), when I finish playing the 500 games already in my library, and start playing the 200 I already own but haven’t started yet… which all work on it… I mean, yeah, I’ll definitely look at whatever it is you’re on about”

    [Edit] I have misunderstood it as a game rental/streaming service, rather than a computer rental/streaming service

      It’s not a subscription plan with games, it’s a cloud service running the (supported, stuff about licensing) games you already own on Steam.

        Ah sorry, my misunderstanding. Though, isn’t that just built into Steam anyway?

        You know what, I’m going to read up on it myself, so as to be less wrong in future!
