NVIDIA's GeForceNow has been updated to be compatible with Apple-silicon Macs, and the game-streaming service is now available on both Intel and M1-based models.

GeForceNow allows Mac users to play games made for Windows without requiring hardware upgrades or using BootCamp, by rendering games on cloud servers and streaming the video directly to the user's computer. It has supported Macs for a long time, but in the latest update to the service, it has enhanced support for Apple's latest Macs.

The update notes for GeForce 2.0.27 cover a number of support changes, primarily the addition of beta support for Google Chrome, making it possible to play from a single account without installing any dedicated apps.

One change spotted by XDADeveloper has to do with support for the GeForceNow client in macOS. In this update, NVIDIA has extended support for the client so that the client can support the M1 chip.

This means that users with M1Macs can install and run the client in the same way as Intel Mac users, without using a browser for access. Previously, M1Mac users could use the client to play games on GeForce, but it only worked through Rosetta2.

It's worth mentioning that NVIDIA has yet to release an ARM-based client version for Windows 10 on ARM or Linux.
