GeForce NOW Adding 17 Games In September, With Hell Is Us, Hollow Knight: Silksong, Cronos And 2 Others This Week, Blackwell RTX Upgrade Next Week

by Rainier on Sept. 4, 2025 @ 6:00 a.m. PDT

GeForce NOW taps into the thriving PC gaming ecosystem by streaming games from NVIDIA GPUs in the cloud, this week adding 7 new titles to its library.

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.

GeForce NOW’s Blackwell RTX Upgrade Begins Next Week

NVIDIA Blackwell RTX is coming to the cloud on Wednesday, Sept. 10 — an upgrade so big it couldn’t wait until a Thursday. Don’t miss a special early GFN Thursday next Wednesday as GeForce NOW begins lighting up the globe with GeForce RTX 5080-class power streaming from the cloud.

Cloud gaming is about to level up. NVIDIA Blackwell RTX brings GeForce RTX 5080-powered streaming to GeForce NOW, unlocking the highest resolutions and frame rates ever in the cloud. Play games with unmatched visual fidelity, tap into a massive library of over 2,200 new Install-to-Play titles, take advantage of new high-performance modes like competitive 360 frames per second and 240 fps at sub-30-millisecond low latency, and much more.

Plus, the highly anticipated shooter Battlefield 6 is launching in the cloud in October.

But first — this month is stacked with 17 fresh games to keep members busy. Look out for Hell Is Us, announced at Gamescom and the first AAA title to hit the cloud at launch, along with the eagerly awaited Hollow Knight: Silksong, part of the five new games in the cloud available this week.

Unravel the Uncanny

Hell Is Us offers a visually stunning, narrative-driven action game that blends exploration, combat and psychological storytelling into a bold new adventure.

Play as a lone protagonist unraveling secrets behind supernatural phenomena in a closed country plagued by civil strife and haunting mysteries. The gameplay brings together mysterious tools and decision-driven storylines among surreal landscapes and chilling lore.

Explore the title at peak fidelity across devices on GeForce NOW with rich lighting and haunting scenery streamed instantly across devices. It’s an ideal way to get immersed in this uncanny world, no matter the rig or gaming setup.

Roll Out

Rolling onto GeForce NOW, World of Tanks 2.0 is a multiplayer online action game that puts players in command of massive, legendary tanks for team-based battles across historic arenas.

The 2.0 release amps up the tank warfare with revamped sounds, UI, new Tier XI vehicles and battle mechanics. Choose among favorite armored vehicles, strategize with the squad and outmaneuver opponents in fast-paced skirmishes. Whether diving into solo showdowns or coordinating all-out assaults, every match is packed with explosive action.

Play it on GeForce NOW and experience every tank clash in crystal-clear detail and fluid motion, streamed effortlessly to devices. See enhanced explosions, rich textures and lag-free combat — no downloads or updates required.

Falling for New Games

Get ready for one of the most anticipated launches of the year: Hollow Knight: Silksong is launching on GeForce NOW.

Slip into the role of Hornet and explore a breathtakingly vibrant world that’s even faster, prettier and more challenging than the original. With razor-sharp action, new combat moves and jaw-dropping hand-drawn environments, Silksong will have every explorer and boss-battler hooked from the first divekick.

Stream it instantly across devices and dive into epic battles, cunning platforming and secrets lurking in every corner. Whether a series veteran or new to Hallownest’s legacy, GeForce NOW members can stream the title when it launches in the cloud without waiting for downloads or updates.
