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.
The cloud just got bigger. NVIDIA and Microsoft announced this week they’re working to bring top PC Xbox Game Studios games to the GeForce NOW library, including titles from Bethesda, Mojang Studios and Activision, pending closure of Microsoft’s acquisition.
With six new games joining the cloud this week for members to stream, it's a jam-packed GFN Thursday.
Plus, Ultimate members can now access cloud-based RTX 4080-class servers in and around Paris, the latest city to light up on the update map. Keep checking GFN Thursday to see which RTX 4080 SuperPOD upgrade is completed next.
Game On
NVIDIA and Microsoft’s 10-year deal to bring the Xbox PC game library to GeForce NOW is a major boost for cloud gaming and brings incredible choice to gamers. It’s the perfect bow to wrap up GeForce NOW’s anniversary month, expanding the over 1,500 titles available to stream.
Work to bring top Xbox PC game franchises and titles to GeForce NOW, such as Halo, Minecraft and Elder Scrolls, will begin immediately. Games from Activision like Call of Duty and Overwatch are on the horizon once Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision closes. GeForce NOW members will be able to stream these titles across their devices, with the flexibility to easily switch between underpowered PCs, Macs, Chromebooks, smartphones and more.
Xbox Game Studios PC games available on third-party stores, like Steam or Epic Games Store, will be among the first streamed through GeForce NOW. The partnership also marks the first games that will be available on the Windows Store, support for which will begin soon.
It’s an exciting time for all gamers, as the partnership will give people more choice and higher performance. Stay tuned to GFN Thursdays for news on the latest Microsoft titles coming to GeForce NOW.
