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.

Celebrate the new year with more cloud gaming. Experience the power and performance of the cloud with more than 20 new games added to GeForce NOW in January.

Start with five games available this week, including The Finals from Embark Studios.

And tune in to the NVIDIA Special Address at CES on Monday, Jan. 8, at 8 a.m. PT for the latest on gaming, AI-related news and more.

It’s the Final Countdown

Fight for fame on the world’s biggest stage with Embark Studio’s The Finals. The free-to-play, multiplayer, first-person shooter is newly supported in the cloud this week, with RTX ON for the most cinematic lighting and visuals for Ultimate and Priority members.

In The Finals, take part in a deadly TV game show that pits contestants against each other as they battle for a huge reward. Fight alongside teammates in virtual arenas that can be altered, exploited and even destroyed. Manipulate the environment as a weapon itself and use it to take down other players. Drive viewers wild with thrilling combat and flair, using tricks like crashing a wrecking ball into opponents.

Harness the power of the cloud and reach the finals anywhere with the ability to stream across devices. Ultimate members can fight for glory with the advantage of longer gaming sessions, the highest frame rates, ray tracing and ultra-low latency.

In With the New

In Enshrouded, become Flameborn, last ember of hope of a dying race. Awaken, survive the terror of a corrupting fog, and reclaim the lost beauty of the kingdom. Venture into a vast world, vanquish punishing bosses, build grand halls and forge a path in this co-op survival action role-playing game for up to 16 players, launching in the cloud Jan. 24.
