GeForce NOW Continues Anniversary Celebration With 'Nightingale' And 10 Other New Titles

by Rainier on Feb. 22, 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 11 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.

Top-tier games from publishing partners Bandai Namco Entertainment and Inflexion Games are joining GeForce NOW this week as the cloud streaming service’s fourth-anniversary celebrations continue.

11 new titles join the over 1,800 supported games in the GeForce NOW library, including Nightingale from Inflexion Games and Bandai Namco Entertainment’s Tales of Arise, Katamari Damacy REROLL and Klonoa Phantasy Reverie Series.

“Happy fourth anniversary, GeForce NOW!” cheered Jarrett Lee, head of publishing at Inflexion Games. “The platform’s ease of access and seamless performance comprise a winning combination, and we’re excited to see how cloud gaming evolves.”

Bigger Than Your Gaming Backlog

GeForce NOW offers over 1,800 games supported in the cloud, including over 100 free-to-play titles. That’s more than enough to play a different game every day for nearly five years.

The expansive GeForce NOW library supports games from popular digital stores Steam, Xbox — including supported PC Game Pass titles — Epic Games Store, Ubisoft Connect and GOG.com. From indie games to triple-A titles, there’s something for everyone to play.

Explore sprawling open worlds in the neon-drenched streets of Night City in Cyberpunk 2077, or unearth ancient secrets in the vast landscapes of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. Test skills against friends in the high-octane action of Apex Legends or Fortnite, strategize on the battlefield in Age of Empires IV or gather the ultimate party in Baldur’s Gate 3.

Build a dream farm in Stardew Valley, explore charming worlds in Hollow Knight or build a thriving metropolis in Cities: Skylines II.

Members can also catch the latest titles in the cloud, including the newly launched dark-fantasy adventure game The Inquisitor and Ubisoft’s Skull and Bones.

Dedicated rows in the GeForce NOW app help members find the perfect game to stream, and tags indicate when sales or downloadable content are available. GeForce NOW even has game-library syncing capabilities for Steam, Xbox and Ubisoft Connect so that supported games automatically sync to members’ cloud gaming libraries for easy access.

Access titles without waiting for them to download or worrying about system specs. Plus, Ultimate members gain exclusive access to gaming servers to get to their games faster.
