What’s New in GeForce NOW 2.0.29

Join Fortnite Matches Faster with Single Sign-On

  • We have added a new single-sign on feature for Fortnite. Now you can play the game without having to log in to your Epic Games Account every time you launch a new Fortnite session on GeForce NOW.
  • PC, macOS, and Chromebook users can check the My Library row for a notification to Connect your store accounts to GeForce NOW.
  • Clicking this notification will take you to GeForce NOW settings, where you can turn on single sign-on for Fortnite under Connections.
  • Once you have completed this step, you will no longer need to log in to your Epic Account to play Fortnite on any other GeForce NOW platform.

Fortnite Pre-loading

  • We are also testing a new feature called pre-loading, which starts loading parts of Fortnite before you arrive so that your game launch times will be faster.
  • Members must enable Fortnite single sign-on to get the startup time benefit.
  • We expect a reduction of at least a minute, starting from clicking play in GeForce NOW to when you see the Fortnite in-game lobby.
  • Over the next few weeks, we are upgrading our servers with a goal of supporting Fortnite pre-loading for all launches; however, as we are still tuning this feature, there will be limited availability until the full rollout.
  • Priority and Founders Members will get first access to the pre-loaded machines.

Improved Search Results

  • Are you looking for a way to find all sci-fi games, or games with kittens, on GeForce NOW? With our latest app, we now offer members a full-page search option to find the games you want to play.
  • Our new search capability will give you a page full of games, instead of just a list.
  • You can click on any game to access the game details page, which lets you launch the game, learn more about it, or add the game to your library.
  • The search results have also been renamed from Recent Searches to Recent Games.

Browser App In-Game Overlay

  • If you use Chrome browser to play games from https://play.geforcenow.com, we have made our in-game overlay accessible. 
  • You can bring it up on Windows or Chromebook using Ctrl + G, and on macOS Cmd + G.

Other User Interface Updates

  • We now show your username when you are starting to connect to a game.

Bug Fixes

  • You will now see a montage failure message when you try to create a video and the video files were deleted.
  • League of Legends game sessions will no longer end with a timeout error when you  edit FreeStyle filters.
  • The Highlights section will no longer show the wrong data when you click on the Highlight button.
  • Fixed a problem with Apple M1-based products incorrectly reporting their maximum resolution was very small, which prevented members using these devices from running games in high resolutions.
  • Auto-update will no longer cause the “Relaunch Now” button to malfunction.
  • The “Agree & Continue” button is now clickable on Chromebooks.
  • New members will now have the “See More” option after they add more than 15 games to their library.

Whatcha Thinking?

  • Tell us about your streaming session, or what games you want to play, or how you won that last match even after your teammates dropped. We read it all, and we’re proud of you.
