GeForce NOW Reveals Guild Wars 2 Rewards, 4 New Titles This Week

by Rainier on July 20, 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 4 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 2/3.

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.

It’s a party this GFN Thursday with several newly launched titles streaming on GeForce NOW. Revel in gaming goodness with Xenonauts 2, Viewfinder and Techtonica, part of the new games joining the cloud this week.

Portal fans, stay tuned — the Portal: Prelude RTX mod will be streaming on GeForce NOW to members soon.

Plus, find out how members can score an upcoming Guild Wars 2 premium reward.

Get ‘Em While They’re Hot!

Choose from over 1,600 games in the GeForce NOW library, starting off with the titles making their cloud debut. Be among the first to experience Xenonauts 2, Viewfinder and Techtonica from a high-performance GeForce RTX gaming rig in the cloud, without worrying about download times or system specs.

Take on a different perspective in Viewfinder, the new single-player game from Thunderful Publishing. Gamers can challenge perception, redefine reality and reshape the world around them with an instant camera. Capture pictures and bring them to life by placing them into the scene in this mind-bending reality adventure.

Those looking for something out of this world can check out Fire Hose Games’ Techtonica, set in a strangely beautiful, bioluminescent, mysterious subsurface alien universe. Play solo or with a buddy to build factories, gather resources, research new technologies and uncover long-forgotten secrets.

Fans of the Xenonauts series can look forward to the second entry in the franchise from Hooded Horse. In Xenonauts 2, work as the head of a multinational military organization tasked with eliminating an extraterrestrial threat. Play from the shadows to seek out and engage a growing alien presence.

Catch these titles fresh out of the oven and upgrade to a premium membership for faster access over free members.

Exclusive GeForce NOW Rewards

Starting next week, Ultimate and Priority members get an exclusive reward for hit MMORPG Guild Wars 2. The “Always Prepared” and “Booster” bundles will bring premium members a combo of helpful tools, cosmetic items, a mini pet and more. Upgrade to an Ultimate or Priority membership today, and visit the GeForce NOW Rewards portal to update the settings to receive special offers and in-game goodies. Better hurry — these rewards are available for a limited time on a first-come, first-served basis.
