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 library is ever-growing. In an effort to help spotlight the games that are coming to the service, we’re moving to a monthly cadence for announcing new instant access games. Games will continue to be released every week – with new game launches available day-and-date, and back catalog games released each Thursday – but our members, and your readers, will now be able to learn about what’s coming a little further in advance.

It’s such a big month — with a bounty of games and the next generation of cloud gaming in GeForce NOW RTX 3080 memberships set to activate — we’re tempted to call it NOWvember.

In all, 17 new games join the GeForce NOW library, including Core, with an “Encore” performance featuring deadmau5. Four of these additions are ready to stream this week.

Members can also get hyped to stream the latest content updates in the new season of Apex Legends.

The Future Is NOW

Gamers in North America who preordered a six-month GeForce NOW RTX 3080 membership will start to have their accounts enabled with the new class of service this month. The rollout will continue until all requests have been fulfilled.

GeForce NOW RTX 3080 members are streaming from the world’s most powerful gaming supercomputer, the GeForce NOW SuperPOD. They enjoy a dedicated, high-performance cloud gaming rig, streaming at up to 1440p resolution and 120 frames per second on PCs and Macs, and 4K HDR at 60 FPS on SHIELD TV, with ultra-low latency that rivals many local gaming experiences.

You can still preorder a six-month RTX 3080 membership for $99.99, pending availability, to be among the first to power up your gaming experience. In addition to the higher resolutions, faster frame rates and lower latency, RTX 3080 members get the longest session lengths — clocking in at eight hours — and the most control over in-game settings.

Preorders in Europe are set to begin enablement in December. For more information about RTX 3080 memberships, check out our membership FAQ.

Get ready, Core is coming with an “Encore” concert in the cloud this month featuring legendary producer, musician and DJ, deadmau5. Visit a multiverse of over 20,000 free-to-play, Unreal-powered games and worlds to explore, designed by a global community of developers. From shooters, survival and action adventure to MMORPGs, platformers and party games, Core has something new for every gamer, every day, and with GeForce now on nearly any device they own.

This week comes with something special. Members are invited to Oberhasli — a fully immersive digital world created from the epic vision of deadmau5, celebrating his iconic style and music — for a jampacked event full of fun. Celebrate the launch of Core on GeForce NOW with an “Encore” performance of the exclusive, interactive and must-experience deadmau5 concert, with six showings running from Friday, Nov. 19, to Saturday, Nov. 20.

Play three games inspired by deadmau5’s music — Hop ‘Til You Drop, Mau5 Hau5 and Ballon Royale — while exploring 19 dystopian worlds created by the Core and deadmau5 creator community, featured in the official When The Summer Dies music video. Get exclusive deadmau5 skins, emotes and mounts and interact with other fans while streaming the event from Oberhasli on GeForce NOW.
