There’s been a lot of Fire TV news coming out of CES 2026. Amazon announced a complete redesign of the Fire TV user interface rolling out in February, a revamped mobile app experience, and a brand-new Fire TV lineup, the Ember Artline, arriving this spring.

While no new Fire TV Sticks were revealed, one announcement involving them still caught my eye — and it didn’t come from Amazon. It came from Nvidia.

Nvidia’s gaming division, GeForce, best known for its graphics cards, announced at CES 2026 that it’s bringing its GeForce Now cloud gaming service to select Amazon Fire TV Sticks later this year. If you’re not familiar with GeForce Now, it’s a cloud gaming app similar to the Xbox app or Amazon Luna, which are both already available on Fire TV. The big difference, though, is power.

GeForce Now lets you stream PC games with higher graphics fidelity and frame rates, thanks to Nvidia’s RTX-powered cloud gaming infrastructure. In other words, Nvidia is bringing high-performance PC gaming to your TV without requiring you to own an expensive gaming PC — all through its new GeForce Now app on Amazon’s Fire TV Sticks.

“A new native GeForce Now app for select Amazon Fire TV sticks can bring RTX-powered PC gaming to another big screen in the home,” Nvidia said in a blog post. “Members can stream their compatible PC game libraries directly to Fire TV-connected displays to turn a compact streaming stick into a powerful cloud gaming rig.”

GeForce Now will launch exclusively on two of Amazon’s most popular Fire TV Sticks, the second-generation Fire TV Stick 4K Plus and the Fire TV Stick 4K Max. There’s no word on when or if it will come to other Fire TV Sticks or Fire TVs, like the recently launched Fire TV Stick 4K Select.

Nvidia says the app will be available in countries where these two models are sold and where GeForce Now is supported, which includes the US.

As for when it will launch, Nvidia didn’t share an exact date, only saying it will be launching “early this year.”

If you’re interested in trying out GeForce Now on your Fire TV Stick when it launches, Nvidia does offer a free tier. That said, it’s limited to 1080p, 60FPS gameplay, one-hour sessions, and includes ads. To step up to 1440p at 60FPS with no ads and play games you already own, you’ll need the Performance tier, which costs $10 a month. There’s also an Ultimate tier for $20 a month, which unlocks 4K gaming and up to 240FPS if you want the most powerful experience possible.

Additionally, Nvidia announced that some of 2026’s biggest games will be available to stream on GeForce Now when they launch, including 007 First Light, Resident Evil Requiem, Crimson Desert, and Active Matter.

The Fire TV Stick 4K Max is my go-to streaming device for my 4K LG TV, but I also have my gaming PC hooked up to the same TV with an RTX 4080, so I’m really interested in trying GeForce Now on Fire TV to see how the experience and graphics fidelity stack up.

In other Fire TV news, Amazon says a complete redesign of the Fire TV user interface (UI) will start rolling out in February. So if the GeForce Now app doesn’t grab your attention, the company’s big UI overhaul just might. You can read more about all of those changes in my other Pocket-lint story here.
