When you fire up your favorite game, you’re playing it instantly. That’s what it means to be Game Ready on GeForce NOW. The experience has been optimized for cloud gaming and includes Game Ready Driver performance improvements. NVIDIA manages the game updates and patches. And when a game supports RTX, you can play it on GeForce NOW with beautifully ray-traced graphics and DLSS 2.0.

The GeForce NOW commitment to growing our library of instantly accessible games for our members every week continues with this week’s installment of Game Ready on GeForce NOW Thursdays.

Hyper Scape Season 2 Brings New Weapons and More to Neo Arcadia

We’re pleased to share that Hyper Scape Season 2 has launched, and GeForce NOW members can play right now. Season 2 of Ubisoft’s futuristic battle royale lets you battle through Neo Arcadia in the wake of the devastating blackout, and fight to uncover the truth behind the Hyper Scape.

The update includes new weapons like the Atrax, a full-auto rifle which shoots sticky explosive projectiles that detonate instantly when hitting a Contender, or stick to environment surfaces to catch enemies off-guard. Season 2 also introduces new Hacks, the Infinite Slide event, a new Player Ranking System, and more.

As always, GeForce NOW members can play instantly right from the app, with no download or install times.

Apex Legends Adds Cross-Play and More in Newest Update

Apex Legends, EA’s free-to-play competitive shooter from Respawn Entertainment, updates today with a new Aftermarket collection and the beta launch for cross-play support. GeForce NOW members can now party up and play together with friends on consoles, giving you more backup in your squad — or more enemies to dominate.

Today’s update also adds new event-limited cosmetics, and a new limited-time mode called Flashpoint, adding massive zones dotted around towns in Kings Canyon that regenerate your health and shields over time and change the dynamic of each match.

Apex Legends is a GeForce NOW fan-favorite, and members can play instantly on PC, Mac, SHIELD TV, Android devices, and even Chromebooks. There’s never been a better time to show everyone what Legends are made of.
