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.

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War – Definitive Edition is marching onto GeForce NOW, expanding the cloud gaming platform’s library to over 2,300 supported titles.

Battle is just a click away, as the iconic real-time strategy game joins seven new releases this week. Commanders can prepare their squads and steel their nerves on any device — including laptops, Macs, Steam Decks and NVIDIA SHIELD TVs.

Microsoft’s surprise announcement at Quakecon is now available in the cloud: legendary fantasy shooters Heretic + Hexen have been conjured out of the shadows and are streaming on GeForce NOW.

And don’t miss out on in-game rewards for the popular, free-to-play, massively multiplayer online game World of Tanks as publisher Wargaming celebrates the title’s 15-year anniversary.

GeForce NOW will be at Gamescom 2025 — the world’s largest gaming tradeshow — starting Wednesday, Aug. 20. Stay tuned to GFN Thursday for all the latest updates.

The Emperor’s Call

The grimdark future calls. Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War – Definitive Edition storms onto the battlefield with ferocious, squad-based real-time strategy.

From bolter roars to Waaagh! cries, battles erupt with uncompromising brutality, tactical depth and a healthy dose of swagger.

Fully remastered with enhanced 4K visuals, a refined camera, an improved user interface and more, Dawn of War: Definitive Edition preserves the iconic chaos of the original game while throwing open the gates for creative mayhem. Every charge, psychic blast and last-stand is rendered sharper than ever as cunning, courage and unrelenting war decide the fate of worlds.
