GeForce NOW taps into the thriving PC gaming ecosystem by streaming games from NVIDIA GPUs in the cloud, this week adding 9 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.

Attention, recruits! It’s time to test combat skills and strategic prowess. Drop into the heart of the action this GFN Thursday with the launch of the highly anticipated first-person blockbuster Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, streaming in the cloud Oct. 24, 9pm PT.

Plus, embark on an adventure to defend an empire in the remake of the classic role-playing game (RPG), Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven.

That’s just the tip of the iceberg. These are part of the nine titles being added to GeForce NOW's library of over 2,000 games. Members can also look forward to a new reward — a free in-game Stag-Heart Skull Sallet Hat — for the award-winning RPG The Elder Scrolls Online, starting on Thursday, Oct. 31.

Get ready by opting into GeForce NOW’s Rewards program today.

Mission Critical

Get ready, soldiers — the next assignment awaits in the cloud. Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is set against the backdrop of the Gulf War in the early 1990s, and will bring a thrilling Campaign, action-packed Multiplayer and a Zombies experience sure to thrill fans. The new game introduces the Omnimovement system to the franchise, allowing players to sprint, slide and dive in any direction, enhancing tactical gameplay across all modes.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 launches with 16 new Multiplayer maps and two Zombies maps — Terminus and Liberty Falls. In Multiplayer, the classic Prestige system makes a comeback, while the single player Campaign experience promises a gripping espionage narrative. With its blend of historical fiction, gameplay innovations and fan-favorite features, Black Ops 6 aims to deliver an intense Call of Duty experience that pushes the boundaries of the franchise.

Prepare for adrenaline-fueled missions with an Ultimate GeForce NOW membership. These members get an advantage on the field with ultra-low-latency gaming, streaming from a GeForce RTX 4080 gaming rig in the cloud.

Lucky Number Seven

Save the Empire with a little help from the cloud — Romancing SaGa2: Revenge of the Seven is coming to GeForce NOW.

Experience the full remake of Square Enix’s groundbreaking nonlinear RPG, Romancing SaGa2: Revenge of the Seven, first released in 1993 in Japan. The adventure includes both new and classic SaGa franchise features, complete with Japanese and English voiceovers, original and rearranged compositions, and much more. It’s an ideal entry point for new players and provides an amped-up experience for longtime fans.

The game features the Seven Heroes, once hailed as saviors before the ancients feared their power and banished them to another dimension. Thousands of years have passed, and the heroes have become legends. Furious that humankind has forgotten their many sacrifices, they’ve now returned as villains bent on revenge.

Members can join forces with characters from over 30 different classes featuring a wide variety of professions and races, each with their own favored weapons, unique abilities and effective tactics. Ultimate members can stream at up to 4K resolution with extended session lengths and more.

Hircine’s Hunt … From the Cloud

A new game reward has arrived for GeForce NOW members. New and existing The Elder Scrolls Online players can dawn the rare Stag-Heart Skull Sallet Hat, a fierce antlered helm with untamed strength. It’s the perfect way for gamers to forge their legends in Tamriel and stand out during the Witches Festival.

Members who’ve opted in to GeForce NOW’s Rewards program can check their email for instructions on how to redeem it. Ultimate and Priority members can start redeeming the reward now, while free members will be able to claim it starting tomorrow, Oct. 25.
