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.
A Game Pass-tic Partnership
Announced over the weekend, Game Pass members will soon be able to play supported PC games from the Game Pass catalog with GeForce NOW.
We’re working closely with Microsoft to enable members to play select PC titles from Microsoft Store, just as they can today on GeForce NOW with their Steam, Epic Games Store, Ubisoft Connect and GOG.com accounts. Members who are subscribed to PC Game Pass or Xbox Game Pass Ultimate will be able to stream these select PC titles from the Game Pass library — without downloads or additional purchases for instant gaming from the cloud.
With hundreds of PC titles available in the Game Pass catalog, Xbox and PC gamers together can look forward to future GFN Thursdays to see what’s next. PC games from Xbox Game Studios and Bethesda on Steam and Epic Games Store will continue to be released, giving members more ways to play their favorite Xbox titles.
And with the ability for GeForce NOW members to stream at high performance across devices, including PCs, Macs, mobile devices, smart TVs, gaming handheld devices and more, gamers everywhere will be able to take their Xbox PC games wherever they go, along with the over 1,600 titles in the GeForce NOW library.
For an even more upgraded experience, upgrade to Ultimate or Priority memberships to skip the waiting lines over free members and get into gaming even faster.
