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.
GeForce NOW is about bringing new experiences to gamers
This GFN Thursday introduces game demos to GeForce NOW. Members can now try out some of the hit games streaming on the service before purchasing the full PC version – including some finalists from the 2021 Epic MegaJam.
Plus, look for six games ready to stream from the GeForce NOW library starting today
In addition, the 2.0.39 app update is rolling out for PC and Mac with a few fixes to improve the experience.
Dive In to Cloud Gaming With Demos
GeForce NOW supports new ways to play and is now offering free game demos to help gamers discover titles to play on the cloud — easy to find in the “Instant Play Free Demos” row.
Gamers can stream these demos before purchasing the full PC versions from popular stores like Steam, Epic Games Store, Ubisoft Connect, GoG and more. The demos are hosted on GeForce NOW, allowing members to check them out instantly — just click to play!
The first wave of demos, with more to come, includes: Chorus, Ghostrunner, Inscryption, Diplomacy Is Not an Option and The RiftBreaker Prologue.
Members can even get a taste of the full GeForce NOW experience with fantastic Priority and RTX 3080 membership features like RTX in Ghostrunner and DLSS in Chorus.
On top of these great titles, demos of some finalists from the 2021 Epic MegaJam will be brought straight from Unreal Engine to the cloud.
