"There is not a native app on Steam deck today," said Andrew Fear, GFN boss, back in January. "Use a Chromium browser to make it work. I would say that both Nvidia and Valve, I think we're both interested in making [GeForce Now on Steam Deck] better. But we don't have any announcements on a native app coming to Steam."

Because they could encourage people to buy Nvidia-driven desktop systems to stream from to their Deck by providing an easy software solution like they have on Windows.

To me, this is like saying that HP would want their printers to use non HP cartridges.... The printers and the steam deck are not making much money by themselves, the money is made by selling the games or cartridges or subscription

As a user it would be nice to have it, but saying that it is something that Valve would obviously want invest in it, does not make sense to me
