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.
GFN Thursday keeps its fourth anniversary celebrations rolling by bringing Ubisoft’s Skull and Bones and Microsoft’s Halo Infinite to the cloud this week.
They’re part of five newly supported games, and thanks to the power of the cloud, members can play them at unrivaled quality across nearly any device.
The Ultimate Upgrade, Instantly
When GeForce NOW launched in 2020, members flocked to take advantage of NVIDIA GeForce RTX 20 Series GPU-powered servers and experience real-time ray tracing on low-powered devices. For the first time, high-performance PC gaming was available to all.
Later, members gained access to the Ultimate upgrade, as NVIDIA cloud gaming servers brought GeForce RTX 3080-class power to users across the globe.
Now, with the NVIDIA Ada Lovelace GPU architecture, cloud gaming has taken another leap forward, powered by the GeForce RTX 4080 SuperPOD.
That means nearly anyone can experience groundbreaking PC gaming technologies like NVIDIA DLSS 3.5, with its AI-powered Frame Generation and upscaling features. Members can explore their favorite game worlds rendered with cinematic lighting and reflections thanks to RTX ON, with full ray tracing supported in titles like Cyberpunk 2077 and Alan Wake II. Experience immersive gaming, even on old laptops or smartphones.
Enjoy the greatest PC games available at up to 4K resolution with an Ultimate membership, and explore a whole new world with support for 21:9 ultrawide resolutions.
Members also have the competitive edge in the cloud, thanks to support for NVIDIA Reflex technology. Ultimate members can take aim and make every shot count with ultra-low latency and support for up to 240 frames per second performance — a first for cloud gaming — all made possible by GeForce NOW. Upgrade today to feel the difference.
