While Apple is still working on its big two-year transition to Apple’s homemade chips, even in those early days software developers are already transferring their applications, with Nvidia having just added support for M1 Macs to their streaming client. game GeForce Now.
Last spring, Nvidia launched support for GeForce Now on iPhones and iPads via Safari, and although users could simulate the process on Macs by editing the user agent string, the experience was not properly optimized, which often resulted in less than optimal performance.
However, in GeForce Now version 2.0.27, Nvidia is not only adding beta support for game streaming via Google Chrome on Windows and macOS, Nvidia has also updated its native GeForce Now macOS app to include support for M1-based Macs. This means that users with MacBooks based on M1 or Mac Minis will have two ways to stream games from the cloud using GeForce Now, along with Google Stadia, which has been available on Macs M1 since launch.
In fact, while technically still in initial access, Mac users can also stream games using Amazon’s Luna game streaming service, for a total of three different cloud game streaming providers.
In addition to added support for chrome, the latest update to GeForce Now also includes a new way to invite friends to your games, simply by sending them a special URL generated within Chrome. Alternatively, on iPhones and iPads, Nvidia says that game invitations created by the Share option can be sent to friends singing apps, including iMessage, Whatsapp and others.
