CloudGear v2.2: Native GeForce NOW Streaming

Native GeForce NOW streaming for sharper image quality and lower latency, full iPhone Duo support, and new ways to control games on iPhone, iPad and Apple TV.

CloudGear v2.2 is now available, led by a new way to play GeForce NOW and full support for iPhone Duo.

First, native GeForce NOW streaming. CloudGear can now stream GeForce NOW using its desktop streaming protocol instead of the one its web app uses in browsers, for better image quality (YUV 4:4:4), lower latency and better overall performance. CloudGear asks you to choose Native or WebRTC the first time you open GeForce NOW. We recommend Native. It’s new, so if you run into any problems, switch to WebRTC under GeForce NOW settings > Streaming protocol.

Second, full support for iPhone Duo. CloudGear now uses the entire display, whether you’re playing on the outer screen or the inner one. Half-fold it while streaming, like a laptop, and the new Split controls shows the game above the hinge and the service’s touch controls below it. Split controls works on any iPhone too: stream in portrait and the game moves to the top half of the screen, with the touch controls in the bottom half, so your thumbs never cover the game.

Plus:

  • Save quick launch in the menu saves the game you’re currently playing as a Quick Launch bookmark.
  • Touchscreen mode for GeForce NOW and Boosteroid replaces Virtual Mouse. Choose Standard or Click and drag to suit the game.
  • Gamepad mouse turns your game controller into a mouse pointer, on Apple TV and on iPhone or iPad when using an external display. Turn it on by holding L3 + R3 for 3 seconds, or from the in-game menu on Apple TV.
  • Various fixes to mouse pointer locking on iPad.
  • Fixed mouse support in certain browser-based games, such as Last Havens.
  • CloudGear now tells you when HDR is temporarily unavailable, for example in Low Power Mode.
  • Your iPhone or iPad can now auto-lock while on CloudGear’s home screen or after handing a session off to Apple TV. It stays awake while you’re browsing services, queueing or streaming.
  • Apple TV: Smoother mouse pointer movement with the Siri Remote. Press the touchpad for a left click, or hold it for a right click.
  • Apple TV: Type with your iPhone or iPad from the on-screen keyboard.
  • Apple TV: The audio output format (Stereo or Surround Sound) is now set on the Apple TV.
  • Apple TV: New HDR mode setting for TVs where HDR colours look wrong.
  • GFN: Fixed free-tier sessions failing to begin streaming.
  • GFN: Fixed being unable to launch games on the iOS 27.3 beta.
  • Boosteroid: Stream resolution, HDR and Touchscreen mode now live together in Boosteroid settings.
  • Boosteroid: Fixed automatic bitrate, 120 FPS selection and the microphone reconnecting.
  • Luna: Fixed the Amazon Luna Controller in Cloud Direct mode in certain regions, such as Sweden.
  • OnePlay: Hand-Off to Apple TV is now supported.
  • Stream Details now shows decode and display latency, recovered packets, and whether HDR is actually being output.

  • Miscellaneous bug fixes and other improvements.
