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 3/4.

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.

The nights grow longer and the shadows get bolder with Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines 2 on GeForce NOW, launching with GeForce RTX 5080-power.

Members can sink their teeth into the action role-playing game from Paradox Interactive as part of nine games coming to the cloud this week, including NINJA GAIDEN 4.

Plus be among the first to play The Outer Worlds 2 with early access available in the cloud starting tomorrow, Oct. 24.

Atlanta is the latest region to get GeForce RTX 5080-class power, with Sofia, Bulgaria, coming next. Stay tuned to GFN Thursday for updates as more regions upgrade to NVIDIA Blackwell RTX. Follow along with the latest progress on the server rollout page.

The Night Belongs to the Cloud

Vampire: The Masquerade — Bloodlines 2, Paradox’s sequel to the cult classic, invites fans to sink their fangs into Seattle’s dark nightlife, putting players in the immortal boots of Phyre — the newly awakened Elder vampire with a mysterious voice in their head. In every dark corner hides a new alliance or a rival, and every choice carves a path through the bloody politics of the night.

Master Seattle’s secrets and the supernatural abilities of any chosen clan — shadow hunting with the Banu Haqim, blood bending with the Tremere or going fists first as a Brujah. Every story twist and council drama is shaped by dialogue, alliances and whispers from both friends and the ever-present stranger in the protagonist’s mind.

Every neon-lit block streams beautifully on GeForce NOW, with GeForce RTX 5080-class power rolling out for the highest frame rates and sharpest graphics in the cloud — no waiting for downloads or mortal PC specs required.

Where Shadows Fall, Legends Rise

NINJA GAIDEN 4, a lightning-fast action-adventure title from Team NINJA, slices its way back into the spotlight, packed with brutal, razor-sharp combat and featuring a new protagonist, Yakumo. Known for its intensity, precision and stylish flair, the game demands focus and rewards mastery.

This new entry throws Yakumo into a deadly conflict blending myth and modern chaos. Explore sprawling levels filled with relentless enemies, cinematic boss battles that punish hesitation and a fluid combat system that chains combos together like a storm of steel. Every encounter feels like a duel where speed, timing and finesse define survival.

On GeForce NOW, NINJA GAIDEN 4 reaches its sharpest edge. No installs or massive downloads stand in the way — gain instant access with cloud-powered performance that keeps every slash crisp and every dodge responsive. Whether running on a high-end rig, a laptop or even a mobile device, the action always hits at peak intensity with GeForce NOW.

Boarding Pass to Chaos

Early access for The Outer Worlds 2 is reaching the cloud, bringing all the offbeat charm, sharp wit and spacefaring chaos the series is loved for. From Obsidian Entertainment, the masters of branching stories and immersive worlds, this sequel leans even harder into meaningful choices and unexpected consequences.

On GeForce NOW, hopping into early access means instant boarding with no installs or waiting around. Every quip, shootout and twist in the storyline streams smoothly, no matter the screen. It’s the perfect way to jump into space mischief before the game fully launches in the cloud on Wednesday, Oct. 29.
