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.
August brings new levels of gaming excitement on GeForce NOW, with 2,300 titles now available to stream in the cloud.
Grab a controller and get ready for epic adventures — 12 new games are coming to the cloud this month. Each week brings fresh titles for members to discover, stream and conquer.
Get ready to shrink down for big fun — early access for Grounded 2, announced as a surprise in June at XBOX Games Showcase, is available to stream on day one, Friday Aug. 1.
Plus, end the month with the eight games available to stream this week, alongside the latest update for the acclaimed open-world action role-playing game Genshin Impact.
The Park Is Calling
Step into the wild, unpredictable world of Brookhollow Park — Grounded 2 is launching in early access in the cloud, and the backyard has never felt bigger or more alive.
Shrink to the size of an ant, navigate towering blades of grass, uncover hidden secrets and face off against bugs that can be friend or foe. Craft weapons and armor from scavenged materials, build creative bases and raise Buggie companions to help explore and survive. Whether playing solo or with friends, every day brings new challenges and surprises. Grounded 2’s quirky humor and inventive gameplay make every moment an adventure, from dodging predators to racing Buggies through underground tunnels.
Experience every detail rendered in stunning quality streaming from a GeForce RTX-powered gaming rig in the cloud. Jump into the game instantly — no downloads, installs or waiting. Whether on a low-powered laptop, Mac or mobile device, GeForce NOW brings the full power of high-end gaming hardware to members through the cloud.
