GeForce NOW Celebrates 4th Anniversary With Over 25 Games In February, Diablo IV, Overwatch 2, RAGE And More Titles This Week

by Rainier on Feb. 1, 2024 @ 6:00 a.m. PST

GeForce NOW taps into the thriving PC gaming ecosystem by streaming games from NVIDIA GPUs in the cloud, this week adding 5 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.

GeForce NOW is celebrating its fourth anniversary all month — plus an extra day for leap year — during February’s GFN Thursdays, with 27 new games joining the cloud. Keep an eye out for more new games and other announcements for members to come.

Diablo IV and Overwatch 2 heat up the cloud this GFN Thursday to kick off the anniversary celebrations. They’re the next Activision and Blizzard games to join GeForce NOW as part of the NVIDIA and Microsoft partnership, following Call of Duty.

The titles join the RAGE franchise as part of five new games joining the ever-expanding GeForce NOW library this week.

Oh, Heck

Join the fight to protect the world of Sanctuary in the highly acclaimed online action role-playing game Diablo IV with the power of a GeForce RTX 4080 gaming rig in the cloud. Members can look forward to playing the Steam version, with support for the Battle.net launcher coming soon.

Jump into the dark, thrilling campaign solo or with friends. Explore a shared open world where players can form parties to take down World Bosses, or join the fray in player vs. player zones to test skills against others. Explore and loot over 120 monster-filled dungeons, and clear out Strongholds to use as safe havens for Sanctuary citizens.

Ultimate members can stand triumphant at up to 4K resolution and 120 frames per second with support for NVIDIA DLSS technology and experience the action even on low-powered devices.

Be a Hero
