GeForce NOW Will Be Adding 15 Games In May, 2 New Titles This Week

by Rainier on May 4, 2023 @ 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 2 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.

What has it got in its pocketses? More games coming in May, that’s what.

GFN Thursday gets the summer started early with two newly supported games this week and 15 more coming later this month — including The Lord of the Rings: Gollum.

Don’t forget to take advantage of the limited-time discount on six-month Priority memberships. Priority members get faster access to cloud gaming servers, as well as support for RTX ON in supported games — all for 40% off the normal price. But hurry, this offer ends Sunday, May 21.

And the fun in May won’t stop there.

Stay tuned for more news on Xbox games joining the GeForce NOW library soon.

How Precious

No need to be sneaky about it — The Lord of the Rings: Gollum from Daedalic Entertainment comes to GeForce NOW when it releases on Thursday, May 25.

The action-adventure game and epic interactive experience takes place in parallel to the events described in The Fellowship of the Ring. Play as the enigmatic Gollum on his perilous journey and find out how he outwitted the most powerful characters in Middle-earth.

Climb the mountains of Mordor, sneak around Mirkwood and make difficult choices. Who will gain the upper hand: the cunning Gollum or the innocent Smeagol? Priority and Ultimate members can experience the epic story with support for RTX ray tracing and DLSS technology for AI-powered high-quality graphics, streaming across nearly any device with up to eight-hour sessions. Go Ultimate today with the one cloud gaming membership that rules them all.
