These latest updates build on recent milestones for GeForce NOW. The platform has added support for game modifications (mods), launched new data centers in Japan and Poland, and now offers over 2,000 games in the cloud.
Expanding the Game Library
GeForce NOW recently celebrated a significant milestone: 2,000 games available in the cloud. This achievement is the result of strong collaborations with various game publishers who have brought their titles to the platform. New games are added weekly from popular digital gaming stores such as Steam, Epic Games Store, Ubisoft Connect, Battle.net, and Xbox, including over 140 PC Game Pass titles. With the power of GeForce RTX GPU-class graphics, GeForce NOW continues to bring top titles from renowned publishers to the cloud.
Black Myth: Wukong – A Mythical Adventure
One of the most anticipated titles now available on GeForce NOW is Black Myth: Wukong. Members can be among the first to play this game without waiting for lengthy downloads or worrying about system requirements. In Black Myth: Wukong, players take on the role of Sun Wukong, the Monkey King, and wield the powers of a magical staff in a richly woven narrative filled with mythical creatures and formidable foes. The game features unique abilities and combat styles reminiscent of the Soulslike genre. Players will face various challenges to uncover the truth hidden beneath the veil of a glorious historical legend.
The game’s visuals are stunning, showcasing the beauty of ancient China, from snow-draped mountains to intricate cave networks. These visuals are elevated by NVIDIA RTX technologies, including full ray tracing and DLSS 3. For those with a GeForce NOW Ultimate membership, this visual splendor comes to life at 4K resolution and 120 frames per second, even on underpowered devices, thanks to streaming from GeForce RTX 4080 SuperPODs in the cloud.
FINAL FANTASY XVI – Epic Storytelling in the Cloud
Another exciting addition to GeForce NOW is the demo for FINAL FANTASY XVI. This latest mainline entry in the renowned RPG series from Square Enix is set to make its debut in the cloud. The PC demo provides a taste of the game’s high-octane action, breathtaking world, and epic storytelling. Members can learn to master their Eikonic abilities while battling colossal foes and exploring the stunning realm of Valisthea.
GeForce NOW members can enjoy these titles and more with high performance. Ultimate members can stream at up to 4K resolution and 120 fps, with support for NVIDIA DLSS and NVIDIA Reflex technology, ensuring a smooth and responsive gaming experience even on low-powered devices. Keep an eye on GFN Thursdays for the latest updates on game release dates in the cloud.
Streamlining the Gaming Experience
In addition to new game releases, GeForce NOW is enhancing the overall gaming experience by making it more convenient for members to link their gaming accounts directly to the cloud service. Starting August 22, this support will extend to Xbox accounts, alongside existing support for Epic Games and Ubisoft automatic sign-in. This feature enables seamless access across devices.
After linking their Xbox profiles just once, members will be signed in automatically across their devices for all future GeForce NOW sessions. This speeds up access to favorite PC games, from Fallout 76 to Starfield to Forza Horizon 5.
