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.
Time to suit up, members. The multiverse is about to get a whole lot cloudier as GeForce NOW opens a portal to the first season of hit game Marvel Rivals from NetEase Games.
Members can now game in a new dimension with expanded support for virtual- and mixed-reality devices. This week’s GeForce NOW app update 2.0.70 begins rolling out compatibility for Apple Vision Pro spatial computers, Meta Quest 3 and 3S, and Pico 4 and 4 Ultra devices.
Plus, no GFN Thursday is complete without new games. Get ready for seven new titles joining the cloud this week, including multiplayer online battle arena game SMITE 2.
Invisible No More
Eternal night falls for Marvel Rivals, the superhero, team-based player vs. player shooter that lets players assemble an ever-evolving all-star squad of Super Heroes and Super Villains battling with unique powers across a dynamic lineup of destructible maps from the Marvel Multiverse.
The Fantastic Four will be playable in season one of the game. For Eternal Night Falls, Invisible Woman and Mister Fantastic will be released in the first half of the season, followed by Human Torch and The Thing in the second. Season one will also feature three new maps, special events and an all-new Doom Match game mode.
Stream it all with a GeForce NOW membership across devices, from an underpowered laptop, Mac devices, a Steam Deck or the supported platform of virtual- and mixed-reality devices.
Head in the Clouds
The latest GeForce NOW app update is expanding cloud streaming capabilities to Apple Vision Pro spatial computers, Meta Quest 3 and 3S, and Pico 4 and 4 Ultra virtual- and mixed-reality headsets starting this week.
These newly supported devices will give members access to an extensive library of games to stream through GeForce NOW. Members can gain access by visiting play.geforcenow.com or via the Android-native client on the PICO store. The rollout will be complete on Tuesday, Jan. 21.
Members will be able to transform their space into a personal gaming theater by playing, on massive virtual screens, their favorite PC games, such as the latest season of Marvel Rivals, Dragon Age and more. With access to NVIDIA technologies, including ray tracing and NVIDIA DLSS on supported games, these devices now provide an enhanced visual experience with the highest frame rates and lowest latency.
New Games
SMITE 2 is now free to play and has brought a huge update to mark the start of open beta. New god Aladdin joins, along with SMITE 1 fan favourites Geb, Agni, Mulan and Ullr — bringing the total god roster to 45. Twenty of the gods now feature Aspects — an optional spin on each god’s ability kit that opens up even more strategic options. The 3v3 mode Joust has also arrived, featuring a brand-new, Arthurian-themed map. Assault and Duel game modes are also available. Finally, the Conquest mode brings a wealth of updates to the map, features and balance.
