The Mac version of GeForce now has support for Apple Silicon Macs with M1 processors (via Rosetta), like the 2020 Mac mini, and the app will then start to auto-update itself properly in the future on macOS Big Sur. Speaking of the dedicated app, NVIDIA also announced several enhancements in the latest version of its service. However, NVIDIA says that playing in the browser may not provide the best experience, and still recommends using its app for top performance. Not everyone wants to download yet another application or have another startup process just to play some games. GeForce NOW also allows gamers to play games direct from their own libraries on the service, although throughout much of 2020, NVIDIA did lose access to some of those. Streaming services like GeForce NOW are the only way to get high-detail graphics in the latest high-budget games on many notebooks and desktops with integrated graphics solutions.

Providing browser-based solutions for traditional desktop platforms like Windows allows users who don't want to install another app to get in on the action, and more importantly, add some additional revenue to NVIDIA's bottom line. NVIDIA seems to be getting the hint that more users is always better, as the company has now opened up support for Google's Chrome browser on Windows and macOS. Adding GeForce NOW support to Safari on iOS devices also allowed NVIDIA to skirt Apple's apparent ban on game streaming subscription services that might compete with Apple Arcade subscription services.

Over the course of 2020, the company opened up its cloud gaming service to browsers, starting with Chrome on ChromeOS. When GeForce NOW launched, NVIDIA's cutting-edge gaming service supported streaming games that were rendered in cloud data centers to devices running a dedicated app.
