Nvidia adds native M1 support in GeForce Now version 2.0.40 update

After incorporating support for the M1 chipset via Rosetta in February of 2021, Nvidia has announced that its GeForce Now cloud gaming service now includes native support for M1-based Macs via its latest version 2.0.40 update.

The company has also touted lower power consumption and faster app launch speeds through the update.

Per Nvidia:

The newest update to the cloud enables the GeForce NOW macOS app to natively support the Apple M1 chip. This update provides lower power consumption, faster app startup times and an overall elevated GeForce NOW experience on M1-based MacBooks, iMacs and Mac Minis.

This update comes just as GeForce Now is adding support for Amazon’s hit Lost Ark game. This is especially great news for Mac owners, as Amazon doesn’t publish the game with official macOS support.

If you’ve had a chance to try the newest version of GeForce Now, please let us know about your experience in the comments.
