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.

Triple Threat

NVIDIA and Microsoft’s partnership continues to flourish with this week’s game additions.

Who shrunk the kids? Grounded from Obsidian Entertainment is an exhilarating, cooperative survival-adventure. The world of Grounded is a vast, beautiful and dangerous place — especially when you’ve been shrunken to the size of an ant. Explore, build and thrive together alongside the hordes of giant insects, fighting to survive the perils of a vast and treacherous backyard.

Also from Obsidian is historical narrative-focused Pentiment, the role-playing game featured on multiple Game of the Year lists in 2022. Step into a living illustrated world inspired by illuminated manuscripts — when Europe is at a crossroads of great religious and political change. Walk in the footsteps of Andreas Maler, a master artist amidst murders, scandals and intrigue in the Bavarian Alps. Impact a changing world and see the consequences of your decisions in this narrative adventure.

Deathloop is a next-gen first-person shooter from ArkaneLyon, the award-winning studio behind the Dishonored franchise. In Deathloop, two rival assassins are trapped in a time loop on the island of Blackreef, doomed to repeat the same day for eternity. The only chance for escape is to end the cycle by assassinating eight key targets before the day resets. Learn from each cycle, try new approaches and break the loop. The game also includes support for RTX ray tracing for Ultimate and Priority members.

These three Xbox titles join Gears 5 as supported games on GeForce NOW. Members can stream these or more than 1,600 others in the GeForce NOW library.

Priority members can play at up to 1080p 60 frames per second and skip the waiting lines, and Ultimate members can play at up to 4K 120 fps on PC and Mac.

Play across nearly any device — including Chromebooks, mobile devices, SHIELD TVs and supported smart TVs. Learn more about support for Xbox PC games on GeForce NOW.
