It's been a busy few months Amazon's Fire TV line. The e-commerce giant recently released the Fire TV Stick 4K Select and its new Vega OS operating system in an effort to curb the piracy that's rampant on the platform, alongside a refreshed Fire TV Stick line and a revamped mobile app.

While Amazon didn't announce new Fire TV Stick hardware at CES 2026, the company did reveal that a new game streaming platform is landing on the streaming stick, Nvidia's GeForce Now. The cloud gaming platform, which is similar to Xbox Game Streaming, Amazon's own Luna, and Google's ill-fated Stadia, is coming to Amazon's higher-end streaming sticks later this year, specifically the Fire TV Stick 4K Plus (2nd Gen) and the Fire TV Stick 4K Max (2nd Gen).

Unlike other game streaming platforms, GeForce Now allows you to stream games you already own in stores like Steam, the Epic Game Store, the Ubisoft Store, and more, rather than offering subscribers a Netflix-like library of games.

If you're willing to deal with mild latency, GeForce Now is very impressive

No game streaming platform has really solved this issue yet

If you can handle a bit of latency, this means that high-end gaming can now be done on Amazon's relatively cheap Fire TV Sticks, which is pretty cool any way you look at it. Nvidia's free GeForce Now tier is limited to 1080p/60fps, alongside one-hour sessions, and ads. Performance, its 1440p/60fps tier with no ads, costs $10 a month. There's also an Ultimate tier that features 4K/5K and up to 360fps that's priced at $20 a month.

At CES 2026, I briefly tested out Nvidia GeForce Now on a desktop PC and Lenovo's Legion Go 2 with Borderlands 4, and while the game was visually very impressive running at 4K/240fps, it still featured a fair amount of latency when I pressed buttons on the Xbox Series X controller. To be fair, I've used a lot of game streaming platforms over the years, and I've yet to encounter one that's ditched this delay entirely. It's especially noticeable if you're switching from playing a game natively on a device to streaming it over the internet, making the slight delay more difficult to get used to.

Nvidia also confirmed that notable upcoming games like 007 First Light, Resident Evil Requiem, Crimson Desert, and Active Matter are coming to GeForce Now when they release. It's unclear when the GeForce Now app will launch on Fire TV, with Amazon only stating that it's coming "early this year."

Along with Fire TV, Nvidia also confirmed that a beta of GeForce Now for Linux will be available for Ubuntu 24.04 and newer soon.
