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.

Good. Bad. You’re the Guy With the Gun this GFN Thursday.

Get ready for some horrifyingly good fun with Evil Dead: The Game streaming on GeForce NOW tomorrow at release. It’s the 1,300th game to join GeForce NOW, joining on Friday the 13th.

And it’s part of eight total games joining the GeForce NOW library this week.

Hail to the King, Baby

Step into the shoes of Ash Williams and friends from the iconic Evil Dead franchise in Evil Dead: The Game (Epic Games Store), streaming on GeForce NOW at release tomorrow.

Work together in a game loaded with over-the-top co-op and PvP action across nearly all your devices. Grab your boomsticks, chainsaws and cleavers to fight against the armies of darkness, even on a Mac. Or take control of the Kandarian Demon to hunt the heroes by possessing Deadites, the environment and even the survivors themselves with a mobile phone.

For RTX 3080 members, the horror comes to life with realistic visuals and a physics-based gore system, enhanced by NVIDIA DLSS – the groundbreaking AI rendering technology that increases graphics performance by boosting frame rates and generating beautiful, sharp images.

Plus, everything is better in 4K. Whether you’re tearing a Deadite in two with Ash's chainsaw hand or flying through the map as the Kandarian Demon, RTX 3080 members playing from the PC and Mac apps can bring the bloodshed in all its glory, streaming at up to 4K resolution and 60 frames per second.
