NVIDIA Brings DLSS 4.5 Controls and New Ways to Play to GeForce NOW at Gamescom 2026
At Gamescom 2026, NVIDIA unveiled the next wave of GeForce NOW updates, including new DLSS 4.5 technology controls that give members more ways to fine-tune gameplay. The company also expanded support for new Steam devices, GOG single sign-on, and the Firefox browser, while bringing even more big PC games to the cloud.
NVIDIA used Gamescom 2026 to reveal what is next for GeForce NOW, its cloud gaming platform, promising new ways to play, broader device and platform support, and even more big PC games headed to the cloud.
The headline addition is a set of new NVIDIA DLSS 4.5 technology controls that give members more ways to fine-tune gameplay, letting players adjust how the AI-powered upscaling behaves to suit their preferences and hardware.
On the device and platform front, NVIDIA said support is expanding to new Steam devices, while GOG single sign-on is being added so players can more easily reach their GOG libraries. Firefox browser support is also on the way, widening the ways members can launch and play.
The company also highlighted a growing catalog, with even more big PC games coming to the cloud, extending GeForce NOW's strategy of letting members stream titles they own across devices.
Why it matters: the updates show NVIDIA pushing its AI graphics technology deeper into the streaming experience. DLSS 4.5 controls turn a previously automatic upscaling process into something players can actively tune, and each new device, browser, or storefront integration lowers the friction of cloud gaming.
What to watch next: as NVIDIA rolls out its weekly GeForce NOW lineup, the coming weeks should reveal which games join the cloud catalog and when the DLSS 4.5 controls, GOG sign-on, and Firefox support reach all members.
Why it matters
The updates deepen NVIDIA's integration of AI graphics into cloud streaming and lower the barriers to cloud gaming, keeping GeForce NOW competitive as device and storefront support expands.
