NVIDIA Unveils GeForce Now Cloud Gaming for Quest 3/S, Vision Pro, and Pico Headsets

At CES 2025, NVIDIA revealed some exciting news: GeForce NOW, their cloud gaming platform, is expanding to include support for Apple Vision Pro, Meta Quest 3 and 3S, as well as Pico headsets.

However, it’s important to note that this update doesn’t cover VR cloud gaming, meaning you won’t be playing VR-native games through this. Instead, you’ll get access to standard games that you can play on platforms like Windows, Mac, Android, iOS, and handheld gaming devices.

If you’re using the Vision Pro, Quest 3/S, or Pico headsets, you can expect to start streaming games from GeForce NOW via browsers with the upcoming version 2.0.70 update, which is set to be released later this month, according to NVIDIA.

Once it rolls out, NVIDIA promises “all the bells and whistles” of their technologies, including ray tracing and NVIDIA DLSS, for these VR headsets. The experience will feature a “massive virtual screen” to support gamepad-compatible titles, making it feel like you’re in the center of the action.

A nice perk of using NVIDIA’s cloud gaming service is that it provides a tiered access model—some access for free and the option for more extensive, high-quality gaming through various daily passes and monthly subscriptions. Plus, there’s an impressive library of over 2,000 titles to explore.

Interestingly, NVIDIA isn’t pioneering the cloud gaming scene for standalone VR devices. Back in 2022, Pluto VR introduced a cloud gaming service called PlutoSphere for Quest, but it was removed in early 2024 as part of Meta’s efforts to clear unapproved cloud streaming apps.

In a twist of fate, Microsoft managed to secure approval to bring its Xbox Cloud Gaming and Game Pass library to the Quest later in 2023, marking an interesting shift in the landscape of VR cloud gaming services.
