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.
Get the hit game for free with a 12‑month GeForce NOW Ultimate membership and jump into 10 new titles, including ‘The Outer Worlds 2,’ ‘Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective’ and a new ‘Guild Wars 2’ expansion.
Get ready, raiders — the wait is over. ARC Raiders is dropping onto GeForce NOW and bringing the fight from orbit to the screen.
To celebrate the launch, gamers can score ARC Raiders for free with the purchase of a 12-month Ultimate membership — a bundle packed with everything needed to jump into the resistance.
This week also brings 10 games, including the next big adventure in The Outer Worlds 2, the mystical new “Visions of Eternity” expansion for Guild Wars 2 and Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective, a clever classic from Capcom.
Sofia, Bulgaria, is the latest region to get GeForce RTX 5080-class power, with Amsterdam and Montreal coming up next. Stay tuned to GFN Thursday for updates as more regions upgrade to Blackwell RTX. Those who want to follow along can track latest progress on the server rollout page.
The Cloud Suits Up
In ARC Raiders, survival means banding together against overwhelming odds. Set in a retro‑futuristic world under siege, the game blends squad-based strategy with explosive firefights wrapped in a striking ‘80s-inspired sci-fi style.
The story is simple but relentless: mysterious mechanical invaders, the ARC, rain down from orbit to strip Earth bare. Battling them takes teamwork, scavenged weapons and quick thinking across sprawling environments. Every encounter feels like a desperate stand where improvisation and cooperation turn the tide.
With a GeForce NOW Ultimate membership, ARC Raiders hits with full force, streaming at GeForce RTX 5080-class power. That means cinematic visuals at up to 5K resolution, silky-smooth 120-frames-per-second action and real-time ray tracing on nearly any device. It’s the closest thing to stepping into the fight — not just watching from the sidelines.
A special launch offer makes this drop even bigger: ARC Raiders is included with every purchase of a new 12-month GeForce NOW Ultimate membership, now through Thursday, Nov. 20. Take advantage of the cloud’s most powerful tier and drop into the fight with premium performance from virtually anywhere. Supplies are limited, so join now and suit up before the skies get any darker.
The Cloud Is Out of This World
Obsidian Entertainment takes players to a new colony with The Outer Worlds 2, a first-person sci-fi role-playing game brimming with cosmic chaos, corporate satire and unforgettable oddballs. With new worlds to explore and even more questionable choices to make, it’s everything fans loved from the first game — turned up to 11.
This time around, players explore a new frontier teeming with alien life, rival factions and moral gray areas that would make any space explorer sweat. Build a crew, shape the story with choices both heroic and hilariously self-serving, and survive a galaxy where every decision sparks consequences — often explosive ones.
On GeForce NOW, The Outer Worlds 2 shines brighter than ever. Stream the adventure at GeForce RTX 5080 power with ray-traced worlds, crisp visuals and silky-smooth performance, no matter the orbit. Grab a snack, make a bad choice and let the cloud do the rest.
Sacrifice for Power
Guild Wars 2 is setting sail for adventure with its latest expansion, Visions of Eternity, whisking players off to the mysterious island of Castora for a fresh year filled with epic stories, new regions to explore and tons of magical mayhem. This sixth expansion brings new elite specializations for all professions, shiny legendary treasures to hunt, a revamped skimmer mount and the much-anticipated addition of homesteads and fashion templates.
Jump in to tackle bizarre creatures, navigate uncharted lands and face off in unified raids and strike missions. Whether polishing up a new build, decorating the homestead or chasing down legendary loot, gamers will find no shortage of ways to shape the story. Plus, new story chapters and major updates throughout the year mean the adventure is always evolving.
Play Guild Wars 2: Visions of Eternity on GeForce NOW and skip past the grind of waiting for downloads or patches. Seamlessly log in and play on any supported device to get right to the action.
No Tricks, Just Treats
Gamers can solve a puzzle-packed murder case in Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective — the quirky, mystery classic from Capcom, directed by Shu Takumi, creator of the Ace Attorney series — now featuring high-definition visuals and upgraded sound.
BANG! A single bullet rings out in the dark city. But as one life ends, the story is just getting started. Sissel wakes up as a ghost and realizes he’s lost his memory along with his life. With only a few hours until sunrise — and oblivion — to uncover these answers, Sissel must solve the mystery of his own murder, starting with the detective who may have witnessed the crime. Using the powers of the dead, players can possess and manipulate objects, and even rewind time, as they work to solve brainteasing puzzles in a story chock-full of quirky humour and charming characters.
