GeForce NOW Adds 12 New Titles, Outriders Demo

by Rainier on Feb. 25, 2021 @ 5:24 p.m. PST

GeForce NOW taps into the thriving PC gaming ecosystem by streaming games from NVIDIA GPUs in the cloud, this week adding 11 new titles to its library.

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.

This week, GFN Thursday heads to Enoch to stream the Outriders demo. Plus, 11 additional games are joining the GeForce NOW library.

From the studio that launched Bulletstorm, Gears of War Judgement and Painkiller, Outriders takes gamers to the world of Enoch. Embark on a brand-new experience: a single-player or co-op RPG shooter with brutal powers, intense action, deep RPG mechanics, and a compelling story set in a dark sci-fi world. The game dynamically adjusts the balance to account for how many players are in a session to keep the challenge level just right.

Combining intense gunplay with violent powers and an arsenal of increasingly twisted weaponry and gear-sets, Outriders offers countless hours of gameplay from one of the finest shooter developers in the industry, People Can Fly.

Whether you play solo, or with up to two others, the game dynamically adjusts the balance to account for how many players are in a session to keep the challenge level just right.

The demo has a ton of content to explore. Beyond the main storyline, gamers can explore four quests. And all progress made in the demo carries over to the full game when it launches in April.

GeForce NOW members can play on any supported device — PC, Mac, Chromebook, iOS, Android or Android TV. And with crossplay, members can join friends in Enoch regardless of which platform their friends are playing on.

Like most day-and-date releases on GeForce NOW, we expect to have the Outriders demo streaming within a few hours of it going live on Steam.

But wait, there’s more! In total, 12 games are releasing this GFN Thursday. The complete list can be found below, with new game launches including Curse of the Dead Gods, Old School RuneScape, and Rogue Heroes: Ruins of Tasos:
