GeForce NOW Adding 20 Games In August, Stormgate, Space for Sale And 3 Titles This Week

by Rainier on Aug. 1, 2024 @ 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 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.

Members can choose their own adventure with GeForce NOW bringing 18 new games to the cloud in August — including Square Enix’s fantasy role playing game Visions of Mana, when it launches on PC Thursday, Aug. 29.

From cozy games to thrilling battles, there’s something for everyone. Dive into the latest titles and experience powerful performance across all devices — start with the six games available to stream this week.

Plus, the limited-time GeForce NOW Summer Sale continues this week, with a 50% discount on new one-month and six-month Ultimate and Priority memberships. Check it out before the deal ends Aug. 18.
