by Rainier on Sept. 22, 2022 @ 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 8 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 2.0.

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.

When it rains, it pours. And this GFN Thursday brings a downpour of news for GeForce NOW members.

The Logitech G CLOUD is the latest gaming handheld device to support GeForce NOW, giving members a brand new way to keep the gaming going.

But that’s not all: Portal with RTX joins GeForce NOW in November, free for Portal owners. Find out more about this ray-traced reimagining of Valve’s classic game, and more titles like A Plague Tale: Requiem and Warhammer 40,000: Darktide, streaming this fall.

Plus, conquer a breathtaking fantasy world and engage in colossal real-time battles as Creative Assembly’s Total Warhammer series comes to GeForce NOW — included in the eight new titles joining the GeForce NOW library this week.

Finally, an update to the GeForce NOW app on PC and Mac begins rolling out this week with optimized streaming resolution support for 16:10 4K displays at up to 60 frames per second, perfect for RTX 3080 members streaming on Macbooks.

The Hottest Games, Streaming Soon

Get ready to play three new release titles coming to the cloud in the near future.

Portal with RTX releases in November as free downloadable content for all Portal owners, and will be streaming on GeForce NOW. It’s a ray-traced reimagining of Valve’s classic game, built using a revolutionary modding tool called NVIDIA RTX Remix.

In Portal with RTX, full ray tracing transforms each scene, enabling light to bounce and be affected by each area’s new high-resolution, physically based textures and enhanced high-poly models. Every light is ray traced and casts shadows, global illumination indirect lighting naturally illuminates and darkens rooms, volumetric ray-traced lighting scatters through fog and smoke, and shadows are pixel perfect.

Wishlist the Portal with RTX DLC on Steam now to be notified the second it’s released.

A tale continues when A Plague Tale: Requiem launches Tuesday, Oct. 18, enhanced with ray-traced effects.

After escaping their devastated homeland in the critically acclaimed A Plague Tale: Innocence, siblings Amicia and Hugo venture south of 14th-century France to new regions and vibrant cities. But when Hugo’s powers reawaken, death and destruction return in a flood of devouring rats. Forced to flee once more, the siblings place their hopes in a prophesied island that may hold the key to saving Hugo.

On Tuesday, Nov. 30, Fatshark leaps thousands of years into the future to bring gamers Warhammer 40,000: Darktide with NVIDIA DLSS and advanced ray-tracing effects.

Head to the industrial city of Tertium to combat the forces of Chaos, using Vermintide 2’s lauded melee system and a range of deadly Warhammer 40,000 weapons. Personalize your play style with a character-creation system and delve deep into the city to put a stop to the horrors that lurk.

GeForce NOW members can stream all of these great games when they’re released. RTX 3080 members can level up their gaming experience even further with 4K resolution and 60 frames per second on the PC and Mac apps, ultra-low latency, dedicated RTX 3080 servers and eight-hour sessions.
