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 Celebrates Five Years of Cloud Gaming With AAA Blockbusters

GeForce NOW turns five this February. Five incredible years of high-performance gaming have been made possible thanks to the members who’ve joined the cloud gaming platform on its remarkable journey.

Since exiting beta in 2020, GeForce NOW has changed how gamers access and enjoy their favorite titles. The cloud has come a long way, introducing groundbreaking new features and supporting over 2,000 games from celebrated publishers for members to play.

Five years of cloud gaming excellence deserves a celebration. As part of an epic February lineup of 17 games coming this month, every week, GeForce NOW will deliver a major game release in the cloud. This includes the highly anticipated Kingdom Come: Deliverance II from Warhorse Studios, Avowed from Obsidian Entertainment and Sid Meier’s Civilization VII from 2K Games. Make sure to stay tuned to GFN Thursdays to see what else is in store.
