GeForce NOW Adds 'Life is Strange: True Colors' And 9 Other New Titles This Week, 'Far Cry 6' and 'Riders Republic' At Launch

by Rainier on Sept. 9, 2021 @ 6:00 a.m. PDT

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.

Two of Ubisoft’s biggest upcoming games will join GeForce NOW the day they’re released, and you can get ready to breach in a new season of Rainbow Six Siege with a free-to-play weekend.

Plus, it’s time to find your true colors in the newest entry in the Life Is Strange series, one of the 10 games joining the GeForce NOW library this GFN Thursday.

You Say You Want a Revolution?

It’s time for liberation. Far Cry 6 releases on October 7 and will stream on GeForce NOW at launch.

Antón Castillo has promised to restore the once prosperous island nation of Yara, and is grooming his son, Diego, to become the next presidente. But Antón plans to forge his paradise using any means necessary — even at the cost of his own citizens. Play as Dani, a native of Yara and member of the Yaran guerrilla fighter rebels, to liberate their home and take down a brutal dictator and corrupt regime.

GeForce NOW members can explore Yara and fight for freedom across nearly all of their devices when the game is released, even if their rig doesn’t meet the system requirements. Priority members receive priority access to the cloud servers powering the action, and unlimited six-hour sessions, so there’s nothing standing between you and the action.

Ready? Set ... Ride!

Calling all thrillseekers: Riders Republic is shredding onto GeForce NOW later this year.

Get ready to enjoy a wide range of outdoor sports and high-speed action. Biking, snowboarding, skiing, flying wingsuit — it’s all about the ride. With more than 50 players in real time, play solo or squad up with friends to take on downhill races, dominate maps in team vs. team competitions or challenge yourself in PvP modes and Events. For even more insane action, throw yourself into mass races and be the first to cross the finish line.

Join a massive multiplayer playground as you shred the snow, mud and dirt in real time with Riders Republic on GeForce NOW at launch, October 28.
