NVIDIA adds Firefox browser support to GeForce NOW, aiming to make cloud PC gaming easier to access
GeForce NOW, NVIDIA’s cloud gaming service, now runs in Firefox on Windows, reducing the need for users to install separate apps and expanding where supported PC games can be played from the browser.
NVIDIA on Thursday said it is widening access to GeForce NOW by adding support for the Firefox web browser on Windows. The company positioned the update as a simpler entry point to cloud-based PC gaming, emphasizing that users can start playing supported titles directly from a browser instead of downloading a dedicated GeForce NOW application.
In NVIDIA’s announcement, Firefox support is described as joining other Windows browser options including Chrome, Edge, and Opera. The company said the change takes effect “starting today,” and directs users to install the latest Firefox version and then visit to begin streaming games.
NVIDIA also tied the browser rollout to an ongoing weekly content push for the service. It said GeForce NOW members can discover 12 new games streaming from the GeForce NOW library this week, with the additions led by Gallipoli, a new entry in the WW1 Game Series published by BlackMill Games.
Gallipoli, as described by NVIDIA, is a World War I-themed shooter featuring 25v25 objective-based battles across coastal shores, deserts, and urban battlefields. The game’s mode focuses on teamwork and one-shot-one-kill combat, with players able to take on different historical roles such as an Officer, a Heavy Machine Gunner, a Sniper, and a Stretcher Bearer, alongside a range of historical weapons and equipment options.
On the performance side, NVIDIA reiterated the capabilities it associates with its cloud infrastructure. It said GeForce NOW delivers “GeForce RTX-powered performance” up to 1440p and 120 frames per second for members using the service’s Ultimate tier, while also highlighting that the cloud performs the heavy lifting.
A central theme of the update is storage and installation convenience. NVIDIA said GeForce NOW lets members play without waiting for lengthy game installs or updates on local devices, and without consuming valuable storage space for game files. The company also noted that Firefox is one of the ways users can access the service across device types, while cloud saves allow users to continue play across PCs, Macs, Chromebooks, handhelds, and more.
For trial and conversion, NVIDIA said users can try GeForce NOW in Firefox using a GeForce NOW day pass, and that if they later upgrade to a Performance or Ultimate membership, the cost of the day pass can be applied toward the first membership purchase. In other words, the company is treating the browser-based trial as a stepping stone to paid service rather than a standalone purchase.
NVIDIA’s post added timing guidance for the weekly catalog update. It said the dates listed for the week’s games reflect when those titles are released on their respective stores, while GeForce NOW availability may vary because games are onboarded after release and added throughout the week.
The company did not provide additional detail on how quickly Firefox sessions can be launched, what system requirements apply beyond using the latest Firefox, or how performance could differ by device, network, or membership tier. It also did not disclose whether other operating systems or mobile browser versions are included, beyond saying Firefox support expands the service “across even more devices” through the broader GeForce NOW ecosystem.
What to watch next is whether NVIDIA expands Firefox support beyond Windows browsers and whether the company’s recurring “GFN Thursdays” lineup continues to broaden the weekly set of streamed titles. Members will likely want to monitor GeForce NOW channels for updates on which announced games are actually available, since NVIDIA cautioned that onboarding timing can shift availability during the week.
Why It Matters
- Expanding browser compatibility can lower friction for cloud gaming by reducing the steps required to start streaming.
- Browser access may broaden GeForce NOW’s addressable audience, particularly for users on devices where installing additional software is inconvenient.
- Adding a timed library refresh and a browser trial tied to paid upgrades supports conversion efforts for NVIDIA’s gaming subscription tiers.
- Because NVIDIA notes that availability can vary based on onboarding timing, users may need to rely on service channels to track which titles are actually playable each week.
