GeForce NOW Adding Over 50 Games In November, RoboCop, The Talos Principle 2 And 13 Others This Week

by Rainier on Nov. 2, 2023 @ 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 15 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 2/3.

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.

Gear up with gratitude for more gaming time. GeForce NOW brings members a cornucopia of 15 newly supported games to the cloud this week. That’s just the start — there are a total of 53 titles coming in the month of November.

Members can also join thousands of esports fans in the cloud with the addition of Virtex Stadium to the GeForce NOW library for a ‘League of Legends’ world championship viewing party.

Plus, GeForce NOW is expanding support to more Samsung smart TV owners. The GeForce NOW app is rolling out to Samsung 2020 smart TVs, leveling up gaming in even more living rooms.

Esports Like Never Before

This year’s League of Legends world championship finals are coming to Virtex Stadium — an online virtual stadium now streaming on NVIDIA’s cloud gaming infrastructure.

In Virtex Stadium, esports fans can hang out with friends from across the world, create and personalize avatars, and watch live competitions together — all from the comfort of their homes.

Starting on Thursday, Nov. 2, watch League of Legends Worlds 2023 in Virtex Stadium with thousands of others. Use props and emotes to cheer players on together via chat.

GeForce NOW members and League of Legends fans can drop into Virtex Stadium without needing to create a new login. Within the Virtex Stadium app, members can choose to create a “Ready Player Me” avatar and account to save their digital characters for future visits. Members can even link their Twitch accounts to chat and emote with other viewers while in the stadium.

Catch all the action on the following dates:

  • Quarterfinal 1: Nov. 2 at 9 a.m. CET
  • Quarterfinal 2: Nov. 3 at 9 a.m. CET
  • Quarterfinal 3: Nov. 4 at 9 a.m. CET
