Cloud-Based Access to Mobile Apps and Games

11. Únor 2026 v 06:44
Cloud-Based Access to Mobile Apps and Games

Running mobile applications and games should be a smooth experience, but many devices cannot offer flawless performance. Users are generally unable to access apps and games at their convenience due to low storage capacity, outdated hardware, or compatibility problems. 

These disruptions eventually transform basic entertainment into a frustrating experience. Even high-end smartphones are not immune, and with every update, modern apps and games are becoming more memory-intensive and requiring more processing power. This is where the cloud-based access transforms everything. 

Cloud technology allows you to stream the apps instead of using your device to install and use them. In this way, you can use your favorite applications and games immediately on any device, without having to worry about storage and performance constraints. 

This story will discuss how mobile apps and games can be accessed in a seamless way, instantly available, and used flexibly when they are cloud-based.

1. Immediate Browser-based Access Without Installation

The most evident benefit of cloud-based access is the possibility of opening apps and games immediately. Instead of downloading files or updating, one just opens a browser and proceeds to use the app. 

This can be done through platforms like CloudMoon. Users have the ability to run mobile apps and games online via CloudMoon, which executes them on the cloud instead of on local devices. Since the processing occurs remotely, the users can use high-performance games and popular mobile applications directly in a browser without installations and storage issues.

Consequently, even large games like Roblox mini games can be launched in a few seconds, and social media applications such as TikTok can open without consuming local memory. It will save time on waiting and make your device clean and responsive.

2. Smoothly Play High-Performance Games

Mobile high-performance games tend to use sophisticated hardware, restricting access to a large number of users. Cloud-based access can eliminate this problem by rendering and processing graphics remotely. 

As a result, your machine only transmits the visuals, which makes it possible to play even resource-intensive games without issues despite the local hardware constraints. This arrangement is particularly useful when it comes to games that may include complicated environments and real-time interactions. 

Using cloud-based execution, the gameplay is stable and responsive, even on devices that would otherwise have been problematic. Consequently, you get to have a stable performance without having to fear overheating, crashing, or lower frame rates.

3. Easy Access to Social Media Apps on All Browsers

The use of cloud-based access is not restricted to gaming. Browser-based execution is also useful in social media apps. 

It is possible to open apps like TikTok in a web browser and still have all its features and responsiveness. This flexibility is quite convenient, particularly in cases of switching devices or working with a standard system. 

The app experience is identical across platforms because the app environment is hosted in the cloud. Besides, you will not have to log in multiple times, update regularly, and use storage unnecessarily, which makes social interaction easier and more efficient.

4. Cross-Platform Flexibility and Device Independence

A major benefit of cloud-based access is that it is not device-dependent. Irrespective of whether you are using a smartphone, tablet, laptop, or desktop, you only require a compatible browser. 

This eliminates the restrictions of a platform and enables you to use the same applications and games across various devices without the need to install any of them. Moreover, this flexibility allows for continuous use.

You are able to work on one device and resume the work on another. Because everything operates in the cloud, your experience will adapt to your lifestyle rather than you having to conform to device restrictions in work, travel, and everyday life.

5. Less Storage Usage and Better Device Health

Storage limitation is still among the most prevalent issues among mobile users. Applications, stored information, and updates take over the available space, slowing down devices over time. 

Cloud-based access avoids this problem by storing all the app data in the cloud. Consequently, your device is more effective, has a higher battery life, and is more responsive. 

You do not have to delete photos, videos, or apps to create space in order to add anything new. Rather, you get what you require, as and when required, without any long-term storage obligation.

6. Entertainment and Everyday Use: Balanced Experience

Cloud-based access provides a leveled environment where both entertainment and daily use of apps are in harmony. You are able to play Roblox mini games, visit social networking sites, and try new apps without cluttering your device. 

This approach encourages exploration without risk, allowing you to try apps freely and move on without consequences. Furthermore, browser-based access supports productivity by reducing setup time. 

Whether for casual use or extended sessions, cloud execution ensures reliability and convenience across all app categories for users seeking flexibility and efficiency simultaneously.

Bringing It All Together

Cloud-based access to mobile apps and games represents a meaningful shift in how digital experiences are delivered and consumed. By removing downloads, reducing hardware dependency, and enabling instant browser-based usage, this approach addresses many of the frustrations users face today. 

From running high-performance Roblox mini-games to accessing social platforms like TikTok, cloud technology ensures smooth performance, flexibility, and efficiency. It allows you to focus on the experience rather than technical limitations. 

As cloud infrastructure continues to evolve, browser-based access will increasingly define how apps and games are used across devices. By embracing this model, you gain greater control, improved accessibility, and a cleaner digital environment that adapts seamlessly to your needs.

The GeForce NOW library spans popular stores like Steam, Xbox — including supported PC Game Pass titles — Epic Games Store, Ubisoft Connect and GOG.com, bringing together free-to-play hits and paid blockbusters in one place. Install-to-Play further expands access by letting members install Steam games opted in for cloud gaming, doubling the number of titles that can be launched through the service.

Mask up and press through as helicopters sweep low over objectives for high-risk insertions and surgical strikes. Dynamic cover and ever‑evolving hazards keep combat unpredictable, turning every push into a brutal test of precision and squad grit.

GeForce NOW Turns Screens Into a Gaming Machine

The GeForce NOW sixth-anniversary festivities roll on this February, continuing a monthlong celebration of NVIDIA’s cloud gaming service.

This week brings even more reasons to join the party, as GeForce NOW launches on a new platform with support for Amazon Fire TV devices, and eight new games to keep the streaming going strong.

The new app brings GeForce NOW directly to select Amazon Fire TV devices, so members can jump into their PC game libraries on the biggest screen in the house using a compatible controller.

The Cloud Turns Up the Heat

GeForce NOW continues to expand access across devices, supporting multiple platforms with the latest additions of Linux. From PCs and Macs to smartphones, browsers and smart TVs, the cloud delivers high-performance gaming to nearly any screen, on more devices than ever.

Members tap into GeForce RTX power on the screens they already own, extending the value of their membership without extra hardware or complexity. That reach expands again with the launch of the GeForce NOW app on Amazon Fire TV.

GeForce NOW is powering up the living room with the launch of the GeForce NOW app on Amazon Fire TV streaming sticks, leveling up big-screen gaming with PC-quality performance.

GeForce NOW on Amazon Fire TV
GeForce RTX performance on Amazon Fire TV.

The GeForce NOW app on Fire TV is available now with initial support for the Fire TV Stick 4K Plus (2nd Gen) with Fire OS 8.1.6.0 and later and Fire TV Stick 4K Max (2nd Gen)with Fire OS 8.1.6.0 and later, and Fire TV Stick 4K Max (1st Gen) with Fire OS 7.7.1.1 and later, streaming at up to 1080p60 with standard-dynamic-range graphics using H.264 video encoding and stereo audio. Fire TV owners now have an even more powerful way to play on the big screen.

Connect a controller, open the app and stream favorite titles instantly with RTX power behind every pixel — no console required. Cloud gaming has never felt more at home.

Stories From the Ninth World

Torment Tides of Numenera on GeForce NOW
Words hit harder than weapons.

Torment: Tides of Numenera, inXile Entertainment’s story-focused role-playing game, puts emphasis on choices, characters and dialogue, mixing science fiction and fantasy into a strange, colorful world where every conversation and decision matters.

The adventure takes place in the “Ninth World,” a far-future version of Earth built on the ruins of incredibly advanced civilizations. Step into the role of the Last Castoff, a person connected to a powerful, mysterious figure, and get pulled into a mystery that asks one big question: What does a single life truly mean? Expect memorable companions, tough moral choices and plenty of odd, fascinating situations rather than a typical hero-saves-the-world story.

On GeForce NOW, this story-heavy experience is easy to jump into, no high-end rig required. Gaming sessions can pick up right where they left off across supported devices, making it simple for gamers to sink back into the Ninth World whenever the story calls.

Pixel-Powered Punch

Arcade icons and blue‑bomber brawls light up GeForce NOW this week with a retro‑powered surge from Capcom, featuring Mega Man 11, Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection, Capcom Fighting Collection, and the Capcom Beat ’Em Up Bundle.

Capcom Beat 'Em UP bundle on geforce now
Grab a friend and clear the streets.

Relive the glory days of cooperative arcade games with the Capcom Beat ‘Em Up Bundle. This comprehensive collection includes seven classic titles, each with various multiplayer options and online capabilities.

Time to Play

Reanimal on GeForce NOW
Twisted.

Reanimal is a twisted little nightmare that leans into creepy-cute horror with a co-op twist. Guide a scrappy brother-sister duo through a haunting, off-kilter world where every shadow hides something worse, every puzzle feels like a dare and “sticking together” isn’t just smart — it’s survival.

In addition, members can look for the following:

  • Disciples: Domination (New release on Steam, Feb. 12, GeForce RTX 5080-ready)
  • REANIMAL (New release on Steam, Feb. 13, GeForce RTX 5080-ready)

The game features high-stakes extraction with an all-out warfare mode, giving players a playground of open environments, vehicles and gadgets to pull off coordinated assaults.

Players join elite units tasked with tackling high‑risk missions across sprawling maps, from tight urban incursions to rugged open‑terrain operations. Expect strategic objectives, combined‑arms combat with land, air and sea vehicles, and tense firefights where teamwork and planning are just as important as quick reflexes.

On GeForce NOW, Delta Force leans into its high‑octane personality: fast drops, big maps and cinematic engagements that look sharp and feel responsive across devices. Members can squad up from almost anywhere, enjoy high‑resolution streaming and smooth performance, and stay ready for every op without waiting on downloads or big updates before jumping into the next mission.

New Mission

PUBG Blindspot on GeForce NOW
Squad up.

PUBG: BLINDSPOT, a new spin-off set in the PUBG universe from Krafton, expands the franchise with a standalone 5v5 top-down tactical shooter.

Set across tightly designed maps, matches focus on information, positioning and coordinated team play, with squads clearing angles, locking down objectives and outmaneuvering opponents in fast, round-based firefights. Every callout and ability use matters, turning each round into a layered tactical puzzle rather than a simple test of reflexes.

On GeForce NOW, responsive streaming and sharp RTX-powered visuals keep every angle, rotation and clutch play feeling precise, even on lower-powered devices. With support across a wide range of screens, the cloud makes it easy for the gaming squad to jump right into the action, without lengthy downloads or updates getting in the way.

GeForce NOW Brings GeForce RTX Gaming to Linux PCs

Get ready to game — the native GeForce NOW app for Linux PCs is now available in beta, letting Linux desktops tap directly into GeForce RTX performance from the cloud.

Alongside the expansion comes ten new games, including The Bard’s Tale IV: Director’s Cut and The Bard’s Tale Trilogy for a leveled-up gaming weekend.

And operators can squad up in Team Jade’s Delta Force when it deploys in the cloud on February 3, bringing high-stakes tactical action to nearly any device with no downloads required.

Linux Just Got RTX

Gaming on Linux just got a major RTX upgrade.

Starting with support for Ubuntu 24.04 and later, the new app delivers a seamless native experience that fits right into Linux desktop workflows. It transforms compatible Linux systems into high-performance GeForce RTX-powered rigs, streaming supported PC titles directly from the cloud at up to 5K resolution  and 120 frames per second, or 1080p at 360 fps.

This new desktop-focused app goes beyond the earlier Linux experience that was tuned specifically for Steam Decks, which targeted handheld-friendly resolutions and up to 1200p at 90 fps. The beta Linux app is built for PCs and notebooks, offering an experience similar to the existing GeForce NOW app on Windows and macOS.

With GeForce NOW, rendering happens in the cloud, so demanding titles run on a wider range of devices. Experience how RTX technologies — including ray tracing, NVIDIA DLSS 4 and more — bring games to life with RTX 5080 performance from the cloud.

Linux PCs and devices join the GeForce NOW native app family that also supports Windows, macOS, Chromebooks, mobile devices, smart TVs and more — unlocking flexible, on-demand gaming anywhere.

Download the app today.

For more details, check out all knowledge base articles on the GeForce NOW Linux beta app here.

A Tale of the Cloud

Whether belting out battle tunes or charming foes into submission, gamers can enjoy an adventure that’s never sounded this good.

The Bard's Tale Trilogy

Plus, step back to where the saga began with The Bard’s Tale Trilogy. This remastered collection revives the classic, old-school dungeon crawling and tongue-in-cheek charm that started it all — now with smoother gameplay and polished visuals. It’s nostalgia wrapped in pure fantasy fun.

Hot off the Cloud

Cairn on GeForce NOW
One mountain, countless close calls.

Cairn is a survival-climbing adventure from The Game Bakers that pushes pro climber Aava up the unforgiving face of Mount Kami, a sheer giant that no one has ever managed to summit. Realistic climbing systems, resource management and route-planning turn each wall into a tense, puzzle-like challenge — blending simulation detail with atmospheric storytelling.

Welcome to the Zone

Quarantine Zone: The Last Check on GeForce NOW
Trust no one, file everything.

Quarantine Zone: The Last Check drops into the cloud this week, bringing the eerie isolation and grim decision-making of its Steam debut to any device powered by GeForce NOW.

Armed with advanced screening tools and instincts, players are put in charge of a critical checkpoint during a zombie outbreak — where one wrong choice could let the infection slip past the post. Screen survivors, manage scarce resources and hold back the undead. Holding the line is only the beginning — reinforce defenses and keep the camp alive as chaos intensifies with each passing day.

Quarantine Zone: The Last Check streams at full GeForce RTX 5080 power for GeForce NOW Ultimate members, bringing razor-sharp visuals and ultrasmooth performance to every tense border crossing. Every document check, difficult decision and late-night shift in the guard booth hits harder with maxed-out settings and buttery frame rates, all without long installs or hardware worries getting in the way of the paranoia.

No trip through the Devolver catalog would be complete without revisiting its eclectic, chaotic hits already streaming on GeForce NOW. Check out Cult of the Lamb, Ball x Pit, Hotline Miami, Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number, Inscryption and Enter the Gungeon — where every dodge roll matters and every chest hides mayhem.

Each of these titles showcases Devolver’s knack for daring design and unforgettable worlds — now all one click away through GeForce NOW.

Time to Play

Styx: Shards of Darkness
Sink into the shadows and steal everything that isn’t nailed down.

Styx: Shards of Darkness sneaks back in with a signature goblin grin and a dagger never too far from trouble. Published by Focus Home Interactive, this stealth adventure leans into vertical level design, tight shadows and sarcastic commentary from gaming’s most lovable little assassin. Expect big, open environments to pick apart, a toolkit full of invisibility tricks, traps and clones, and plenty of chances to turn a quiet infiltration into chaotic improv when plans go sideways.

In addition, members can look for the following:

More Ways to Play, More Games to Love — GeForce NOW Wraps CES With Linux Support, Fire TV App, Flight Stick Controls

NVIDIA is wrapping up a big week at the CES trade show with a set of GeForce NOW announcements that are bringing more ways to play and more games to the cloud.

From new native apps for Linux and Amazon Fire TV streaming sticks to hands-on throttle-and-stick (HOTAS) support for simulation fans and a new single sign-on option, GeForce NOW is expanding across devices and making it easier to jump straight into gameplay.

Topping it off, a new wave of AAA titles — including IO Interactive’s 007 First Light, Capcom’s Resident Evil Requiem and Pearl Abyss’ Crimson Desert — is gearing up to join the GeForce NOW library for high-fidelity, low-latency streaming across the globe.

Get ready with the six new games available to stream this week.

Leveling Up Where Gamers Play

GFN family of devices
The family of GeForce NOW supported devices is growing.

A new native GeForce NOW app is launching in beta for Linux, starting with Ubuntu 24.04 and later. This answers a long-standing request from the gaming community, turning compatible systems into RTX-powered gaming rigs that can stream at up to 5K resolution and 120 frames per second (fps) or 1080p 360 fps. With rendering handled in the cloud, Linux gamers can tap into ray tracing, NVIDIA DLSS and other RTX features without needing a local, high-end GPU.​

Amazon Fire TV stick with GFN
Things are heating up: GeForce NOW on Fire TV streaming sticks.

A new native app for Amazon Fire TV streaming sticks transforms the tiny device into a big-screen cloud gaming endpoint, giving members another way to stream their PC libraries straight to the TV with a gamepad in hand. It builds on existing device support, making it easier for gamers to pick up and play from the couch without a console or gaming PC attached.​

Clearer Skies Ahead 

GFN flight controls
Cleared for takeoff in the cloud.

Flight control support has landed in the cloud, letting virtual pilots connect their favorite gear — including industry-leading Thrustmaster and Logitech setups — to custom HOTAS configurations. Whether locking in a full desktop throttle-and-stick rig or fine-tuning a split cockpit arrangement, everything’s ready for takeoff.

Paired with the incredible RTX 5080-powered performance available to Ultimate members, plus ultralow-latency streaming and NVIDIA Reflex in supported titles, pilots can now enjoy ultra-precise, hyper-immersive flight experiences straight from the cloud. Soaring over detailed landscapes in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, dogfighting in War Thunder or exploring the stars in Elite Dangerous has never felt smoother.

Easier Sign-Ins, Faster Game Time

GeForce NOW now supports new games — and more ways to get into them faster.

Gaijin SSO on GeForce NOW
Because remembering passwords is so last season.

Battle.net single sign-on recently joined the service, letting members jump straight into supported titles without juggling extra credentials each time. And coming soon early this year, Gaijin.net integration will make takeoff even smoother — one simple sign-on connects more game libraries across devices.

Fewer passwords and pop-ups mean more time playing — whether on a desktop, laptop, handheld device or TV.

Next Up in the Cloud

A new wave of AAA titles is headed to GeForce NOW, bringing spies, survivors and freeswords to the cloud for members to stream across their favorite devices. The games each bring a distinct flavor — from stealthy espionage to nerve-shredding horror and gritty fantasy combat — and they’re all gearing up to join an already-stacked GeForce NOW library when they launch on PC.

007 on GeForce NOW
Earn the number.

IO Interactive’s 007 First Light brings a modern James Bond origin story to the cloud when the PC title launches May 27, inviting members to step into the shadows as Bond begins his journey. Experience a balanced mix of stealth and action built around a “breathing” gameplay loop with IOI’s cinematic, set-piece-driven storytelling. Approach encounters through stealth, direct action or creative improvisation, with multiple viable paths to each objective that let players define Bond’s style.

Resident Evil Requiem
Welcome to the Wrenwood Hotel — late checkout is not recommended.

Capcom’s Resident Evil Requiem continues the legendary survival-horror saga with a new chapter that doubles down on tense exploration, eerie environments and resource-tight combat. Expect dimly lit corridors, unsettling encounters and that classic feeling of weighing every bullet and healing item before moving forward when playing as Grace, and exhilarating, death-defying action when playing as Leon.

Active Matter on GeForce NOW
Everything matters in the cloud.

Gaijin Entertainment’s Active Matter, coming this year, is a realistic military shooter where players join dangerous raids for loot or intense player vs. player battles set in a fractured multiverse. Active matter can be harvested from active matter-transformed creatures or seized from other players. Join this never-ending hunt to improve the chances to find the way out of the time loop.

Crimson Desert on GeForce NOW
Open world, closed casket.

Pearl Abyss’ Crimson Desert is a stunning open-world action adventure set in a war-torn fantasy land, pairing large-scale exploration with cinematic storytelling and hard-hitting, combo-focused combat. One moment is a quiet ride across windswept plains, the next is a chaotic clash against towering foes with mystical power effects lighting up the battlefield.

Playing these titles on GeForce NOW means jumping into big-budget experiences with RTX 5080-class performance, high frame rates and advanced graphics features on a wide range of devices, without worrying about downloads, patches or local hardware requirements. Members can pick up the same adventure on a desktop, laptop, handheld device or TV, letting each of these worlds shine wherever and however they choose to play.

Hello New Games

Pathological on GeForce NOW
Welcome back to the plague.

The eerie world of Pathologic 3, from Ice-Pick Lodge and tinyBuild, invites players to step once again into a haunting town teetering on the edge of disaster. Time is fleeting, trust is scarce and every conversation feels like a test of loyalty — or survival. With its signature blend of tension, philosophy and dark humor, Pathologic 3 doesn’t just tell a story; it dares players to live through it.

In addition, members can look for the following:

GeForce RTX 5080-ready game:

  • HITMAN – World of Assassination (Steam, Epic Games Store and Xbox, available on Game Pass)

NVIDIA Brings GeForce RTX Gaming to More Devices With New GeForce NOW Apps for Linux PC and Amazon Fire TV

Announced at the CES trade show running this week in Las Vegas, NVIDIA is bringing more devices, more games and more ways to play to its GeForce NOW cloud gaming service. Powered by GeForce RTX 5080-class performance on the NVIDIA Blackwell RTX platform, GeForce NOW Ultimate continues to raise the bar for PC gamers streaming from the cloud.

GeForce RTX 5080-powered servers are live globally for Ultimate members, delivering up to 5K resolution 120 frames-per-second (fps) streaming and up to 360 fps at 1080p with NVIDIA Reflex technology support for ultralow-latency, competitive play. Cinematic-Quality Streaming mode enhances image clarity and text sharpness for visually rich single-player adventures on nearly any screen.

New this year, GeForce NOW is expanding that performance to more platforms than ever, headlined by a native Linux PC app and a new app for Amazon Fire TV sticks.

Flight-simulation fans are also getting flight controls support, and members everywhere gain faster access to more games thanks to new single sign-on integrations and upcoming AAA titles joining the cloud.

Here Come the Platforms

Linux PCs and Amazon Fire TV sticks are joining the GeForce NOW native app family, unlocking new ways to play in the cloud across desktops and living rooms.

These new apps build on GeForce NOW’s existing support for Windows PCs, macOS, Chromebooks, mobile devices, smart TVs, virtual-reality devices and handhelds, all tapping into the same GeForce RTX 5080-class performance wherever members log in.

GeForce NOW on Linux
Turn your Linux PC into an RTX gaming rig.

A new native GeForce NOW app for Linux PCs, supported with Ubuntu 24.04 and later distributions, answers one of the top requests from the PC gaming community. Linux users can transform their compatible systems into GeForce RTX-powered gaming rigs, streaming supported PC titles from the cloud at up to 5K and 120 fps or 1080p 360 fps.

With rendering handled in the cloud, high-end PC gaming is possible on Linux operating systems, breathing new life into older devices. Members can enjoy ray tracing, NVIDIA DLSS 4 and other RTX technologies without needing a local high-performance GPU. The app is designed to bring a seamless, native experience that fits naturally into Linux desktop workflows while giving access to the expansive GeForce NOW library, turning everyday Linux devices into RTX gaming powerhouses.

The app is expected to enter a beta release early this year.

GeForce NOW on Amazon Fire TV
Game on in the living room.

A new native GeForce NOW app for select Amazon Fire TV sticks — starting with the Fire TV Stick 4K Plus (2nd Gen) and Fire TV Stick 4K Max (2nd Gen) — can bring RTX-powered PC gaming to another big screen in the home. Members can stream their compatible PC game libraries directly to Fire TV-connected displays to turn a compact streaming stick into a powerful cloud gaming rig.

With support for gamepads and GeForce NOW’s familiar interface, Fire TV users can jump into their favorite supported games without a console or gaming PC attached to the TV. This builds on existing TV support and helps make GeForce NOW the easiest way to bring high-performance PC gaming into the living room.

The app is expected to be available in countries where compatible Amazon Fire TV sticks and GeForce NOW are offered and will be launching early this year.

Take Flight

Flight control support on GeForce NOW
No fight, just flight in the cloud.

GeForce NOW turns more devices into powerful cloud gaming rigs, and CES this year brings another of the community’s most-requested additions.

Simulation fans are getting a major upgrade with flight controls support on GeForce NOW. Popular flight sticks and throttle systems from leading brands such as Thrustmaster and Logitech can be used as affixed hands-on throttle-and-stick desktop units or as separately mounted stick-and-throttle setups for custom cockpits.

Combined with RTX 5080 performance, ultralow-latency streaming and NVIDIA Reflex in supported titles, flight controls let virtual pilots experience greater precision and deeper immersion in their favorite flight- and space-simulation games — including Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, Elite Dangerous and War Thunder. Members can build out detailed simulation setups at home while streaming the heavy lifting from the cloud when it launches early this year..

Blockbusters in the Cloud

The GeForce NOW catalog includes thousands of supported games from top PC stores like Steam, Epic Games Store, Xbox and others, with more joining every week. Backed by RTX 5080-class performance, members can stream everything from competitive shooters to expansive role-playing games with high frame rates, advanced graphics features and low latency.​

New AAA titles such as IO Interactive’s 007 First Light, Capcom’s Resident Evil Requiem, Pearl Abyss’ Crimson Desert, and Gaijin Entertainment’s Active Matter are coming to GeForce NOW when they launch on PC, adding to an already robust lineup of new releases and fan favorites.

AAA games coming to GeForce NOW

007 First Light drops players into a modern James Bond origin story filled with stealth, espionage and cinematic action. Resident Evil Requiem continues the iconic survival-horror series with a new protagonist facing terrifying threats in a chilling new setting. Crimson Desert blends open-world exploration, cinematic storytelling and intense combat in a richly detailed fantasy world. Active Matter from Gaijin is a realistic military shooter where players join dangerous raids for loot or intense player vs. player battles set in a fractured multiverse.

Members can look forward to seeing these and other upcoming hits arrive on the service, with updates shared regularly on GFN Thursdays.

One Login, Many Worlds

Gaijin SSO on GeForce NOW
Just sign in once. The rest is game history.

GeForce NOW is also making it faster to jump into gaming with new account and platform integrations. Recent updates introduced Battle.net automatic sign-in, letting members connect their accounts and access supported titles more quickly.

That seamless experience is expanding to additional game stores, with Gaijin.net set to soon support automatic sign-in on GeForce NOW early this year. Members will be able to authenticate once and jump into War Thunder and other titles with fewer steps.

New and upgraded titles announced today that will support the latest GeForce RTX technologies include 007 First Light, Active Matter, DEFECT, Phantom Blade Zero, PRAGMATA, Resident Evil Requiem and Screamer. Learn more.

Next-Generation G-SYNC Pulsar Gaming Monitors Available Now

The launch of G-SYNC in 2013 revolutionized displays and gaming, introducing Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) technology that all major display manufacturers now incorporate. This meant gamers no longer had to experience screen-tearing glitches when optimizing for responsive gameplay.

G-SYNC Pulsar displays mark the latest evolution of NVIDIA’s pioneering VRR technology. Through the invention of variable frequency backlight strobing, they deliver effective motion clarity of over 1,000Hz, significantly increasing the clarity and visibility of content in motion so gamers can track targets with increased precision and maintain consistent smoothness in gameplay.

In addition, new G-SYNC Ambient Adaptive Technology uses a built-in light sensor, letting users automatically tune color temperature and brightness for optimal viewing at any hour, day or night. Learn more.

RTX Remix Logic Brings Dynamic Graphics Effects to Classic Games

Many iconic PC games remain beloved for their unforgettable stories, characters and gameplay. However, as technology advances, their visuals can become dated, making it harder for gamers to immerse themselves in the titles.

NVIDIA RTX Remix, a modding platform for RTX AI PCs built to reimagine the graphics of these timeless classics with cutting-edge path tracing, lets longtime fans relive their favorite adventures in stunning visual detail, while opening opportunities for a new wave of players.

A new RTX Remix update — RTX Remix Logic — will be available later this month via the NVIDIA App. Remix Logic is a logic system for making RTX Remix mods visually reactive to the moment-to-moment, in-game action, equipping modders with 900+ configurable settings to trigger dynamic graphics effects based on a wide variety of in-game events.

Historically, modifying a game’s graphics in response to real-time game events was restricted to those with source code or engine access. RTX Remix eliminates this barrier so modders can customize visuals across 165+ classic games without touching the original engine code. Learn more.

NVIDIA ACE Powers New AI Teammates and Advisors

Non-playable characters (NPCs) traditionally follow strict rules designed to provide scripted interactions with players. NVIDIA is expanding the NVIDIA ACE suite of AI technologies to turn conversational NPCs into autonomous game characters that use AI to perceive, plan and act like human players.

Creative Assembly, creator of the award-winning Total War franchise, is experimenting with NVIDIA ACE in Total War: PHARAOH to power a new, dynamic AI advisor that assists players in learning the game’s many systems and mechanics.

By processing the player’s prompts, current game state and data retrieved from the game’s complex database, the advisor delivers real-time, context-aware guidance that adapts to what the player is doing, while staying in-character and faithful to the game’s lore and time period.

KRAFTON is adding long-term memory for PUBG Ally — an NVIDIA ACE-powered AI teammate in PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS that allows players to issue commands and communicate plans of attack or other tactical maneuvers with each other.

With long-term memory, the Ally can remember previous performances and gameplay interactions, and inject commentary into their responses that refers to past events. PUBG Ally will initially be released as part of a limited-time user test event in the first half of this year via PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS Arcade for players using English, Korean or Chinese.

GeForce NOW Expands RTX Cloud Gaming Across More Devices

NVIDIA continues to push the limits of PC gaming accessibility with new GeForce NOW updates unveiled today at CES, delivering GeForce RTX 5080-class performance to an even broader range of devices. Gamers can now experience ultrahigh-fidelity RTX visuals through new native apps for Linux systems and Amazon Fire TV Sticks. This answers top community requests.

New support for hands-on throttle-and-stick flight control peripherals provide immersion in simulation titles, enabling precise input and smooth streaming responsiveness for flight and space combat games. GeForce NOW also introduces streamlined single sign-on for Gaijin titles, minimizing setup time and getting players into their favorite experiences faster.

GeForce NOW’s ever-expanding library continues to grow with day-and-date cloud launches of major upcoming titles — including 007 First Light, Active Matter, Resident Evil Requiem and Crimson Desert — ensuring that gamers can stream the latest blockbusters the same day they arrive on PC, all powered by NVIDIA RTX technology. Learn more.

RTX AI PCs Accelerate AI Video, Image and Text Generation

At CES, NVIDIA announced a wave of AI upgrades for GeForce RTX GPUs and laptops that unlock the performance and memory needed for developers to deploy generative AI on PC, including:

  • Up to 3x performance and 60% reduction in VRAM for video and image generative AI via PyTorch-CUDA optimizations and native NVFP4/FP8 precision support in ComfyUI.

GeForce NOW Rings In 2026 With 14 New Games in January

New year, new games, all with RTX 5080-powered cloud energy. GeForce NOW is kicking off 2026 by looking back at an unforgettable year of wins and wildly high frame rates.

From streams of the biggest blockbusters to new ways to play anywhere, members showed all year what happens when great games meet serious GeForce performance in the cloud.

Grab a cozy spot, queue up a game and ring in the new year with GeForce NOW, starting with a fresh list of 14 titles coming to the cloud this January, with 5 available to stream this week..​

Put a Bow on It

The star upgrade of 2025 was the arrival of NVIDIA Blackwell RTX in the cloud, bringing GeForce RTX 5080 power to the GeForce NOW Ultimate membership tier along with all the NVIDIA technologies that 50 Series GPU owners have access to, including DLSS 4 and 5K 120 frames-per-second (fps) streaming.

“The amazing announcement of the RTX 5080 being added to GeForce NOW with features like DLSS 4 and 5K 120 fps streaming was a true game-changer for cloud gaming,” said Nads from Cloud&Console.​

Luna, a GeForce NOW Discord community modder, called out how the Ultimate tier let her go topside in ARC Raiders and explore Castor Woods in Dying Light: The Beast “in areas where my local machine struggles — and now, the RTX 5080-powered cloud can push them even further.”

GeForce NOW had major day-and-date launches of blockbuster titles including ARC Raiders and Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 — and the community packed in some unforgettable sessions to celebrate. Nads summed up the smoothness: “Vaulting into Borderlands 4, surviving Grounded with friends and diving into Battlefield 6 chaos — all of it was seamless on GeForce NOW this year.”​

For Warwick, cloud gaming turned into a superpower: “I’ve always struggled to play Fortnite with my friends while streaming, but with GeForce NOW, I’ve been able to jump straight in with ease and get those victory royales,” the gamer said. One highlight of their year was seeing “all the incredible things coming to GeForce NOW at Gamescom, including Fortnite with Discord — game changer!”

Steam Deck on GeForce NOW
Full steam ahead with the cloud.

2025 belonged to members who play literally anywhere. The native GeForce NOW app elevated gaming on Steam Deck, making it easier than ever to play the cloud gaming platform’s 2,000+ supported games from Steam, Epic Games Store, Game Pass and more — all at GeForce RTX quality on the handheld device.

Anytime Anywhere Gaming gave a shoutout to “the release of ARC Raiders and continued Steam Deck support,” calling it “nothing short of amazing” to take on raiders and play beloved titles on Steam Deck “at max fidelity.”​

The Install-to-Play feature brought even more titles to members. “Install-to-Play has brought in so many games,” said creator Cloudy With Games. “Take a gamble on Slots and Daggers, it’s worth it.”

I2P on GeForce NOW
Installing fun, please stand by.

Creator RuDiggz put it this way: “Install-to-Play breathes new life into favorites like Pixelmancer, mobilizing indies with the cloud from my desktop to my phone on the go.” For those chasing maximum freedom and fidelity, he added, “GeForce NOW Ultimate is the only way to play thousands of titles at max settings — no hardware minimums. GeForce NOW has the frames and the games.”

The Ultimate Winners

The Ultimate Contest gave members a chance to share their favorite cloud gaming moments and show off what GeForce RTX 5080-class power can do. From stunning action moments to creative showcases, the submissions proved why the Ultimate experience stands out.

A huge “GG” to our top 10 winners: pfoglista, danipeter007+gfn, brunocas_300, Studmuffin9398, patanaimuje, dufranklin4, despandan4, chandabenr, andreaosmani222 and Lyreliarlyre. Those who joined in earned two Ultimate Day Passes — one to enjoy and one to share with a friend — plus one year of an Ultimate membership.

Pfoglista’s video really captured how GeForce NOW Ultimate “feels exactly like playing on a local PC,” highlighting how fast, competitive, low‑latency cloud gaming can look and feel every bit as precise as playing on a local high‑end rig.​

Deck the Vaults: ‘Fallout: New Vegas’ Joins the Cloud This Holiday Season

Step out of the vault and into the future of gaming with Fallout: New Vegas streaming on GeForce NOW, just in time to celebrate the newest season of the hit Amazon TV show Fallout.

To mark the occasion, GeForce NOW members can claim Fallout 3 and Fallout 4 as special rewards, completing a wasteland-ready trilogy in the cloud.

Whether scavenging the ruins of post-apocalyptic America or rebuilding hope in the Wasteland, gamers can experience every choice — and every radroach — even sharper in the cloud.

Take a detour from the desert dust to the enchanted halls of Hogwarts in Hogwarts Legacy — and relive Harry’s years at school, brick by whimsical brick, in LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-7. This week’s GFN Thursday lineup of five games proves adventure comes in every form, from radiation to incantations.

Plus, GeForce NOW is joining Ubisoft to celebrate 10 years of Rainbow Six Siege: a decade of clutch plays and tactical showdowns streaming strong in the cloud.

Have Yourself a Merry Little ‘Fallout’

Fallout: New Vegas on GeForce NOW
It’s a S.P.E.C.I.A.L. GFN Thursday.

Bethesda’s Fallout: New Vegas is rolling onto GeForce NOW with a suitcase full of wasteland wit. Set in the Mojave Desert after a bombing, the title follows a courier carrying a valuable chip through a desert full of schemers, gamblers and nuclear scars.

The adventure drops players into a three- or more-way tug-of-war for the fate of New Vegas, where every decision can shift who runs the Strip and who ends up buried in the sand. Choices matter at every turn: talk fast, sneak smart or go loud, all while navigating sharp, darkly funny writing and factions that rarely fit cleanly into good or evil.​

In the cloud, the Mojave feels right at home, with high-fidelity visuals, fast response times and no need for a monster rig or huge downloads. The wasteland spins up in just seconds on underpowered laptops, phones and more, making it easier than ever to drop in for a quick caravan run or a long night on the Strip.

To sweeten the deal, GeForce NOW Ultimate members can claim a stack of classics — including Fallout 3 and Fallout 4 — while supplies last. It’s a tour of the Fallout universe, ready to stream from the cloud. Members can look for an email with details on how to redeem.

Magic Without the Wait

GeForce NOW is making spirits bright this season with two enchanting adventures in the cloud. Step into the wizarding world with Hogwarts Legacy and relive the full saga of the “Boy Who Lived” in brick form with the LEGO Harry Potter Collection. Whether exploring the Forbidden Forest or causing mischief in Hogwarts, gamers can experience plenty of magic to go around.

Hogwarts Legacy on GeForce NOW
It’s not sorcery, it’s the cloud.

In Hogwarts Legacy, players can chart their own path as a fifth-year student at Hogwarts in the 1800s. From learning powerful spells to taming magical beasts, the castle and its grounds are packed with secrets waiting to be discovered. It’s a world of intrigue, danger and wonder — with rich storytelling and breathtaking visuals that shine perfectly in the cloud.

GeForce NOW Ultimate members can experience the magic of Hogwarts like never before — every spell, shadow and shimmering corridor brought to life with GeForce RTX 5080-class power and NVIDIA DLSS 4 technology for spellbinding performance and ultrasmooth gameplay.

Lego Harry Potter Collection on GeForce NOW
No floo powder needed — just jump right in with GeForce NOW.

The LEGO Harry Potter Collection offers a lighter, more playful spin on the saga, combining all seven years at Hogwarts into one charming package. Revisit major moments, cast silly spells and collect enough studs to make Gringotts jealous. It’s the ultimate magical mashup — family-friendly, full of humor and packed with puzzles and co-op fun.

No need for spells or waiting around for sorting — the magic starts right away with GeForce NOW. Members can stream both titles in jaw-dropping detail from nearly any device.

Seize the Cloud

Rainbow 6 siege 10 year celebration on GeForce NOW
No floo powder needed — just jump right in with GeForce NOW.

Rainbow Six Siege is turning 10, and the tactical chaos is streaming strong on GeForce NOW. For a full decade, squads have been breaching, droning and clutching rounds in one of the most precise, team-focused shooters around, instantly accessible from the cloud on a range of devices.

Rainbow Six Siege is rolling out free in-game rewards all month to mark a decade of creativity, competition and tactical mastery. Players jumping into the game can look forward to a steady stream of goodies — from themed cosmetics to special packs and daily surprises — to commemorate the anniversary, on top of seasonal updates and the ever-evolving Operator roster.

Celebrate and stream the iconic game on GeForce NOW, with anniversary matches just a few clicks away — from quick warmups on a laptop to long sessions on the living room TV. Squads old and new can mark 10 unforgettable years of Rainbow Six Siege together in the cloud.

In addition, members can look for the following:

GeForce RTX 5080-ready games, in addition to Hogwarts Legacy:

Starting in January 2026, some games currently available to all members will no longer be available on the free tier as the basic rig type does not meet these games’ — Enshrouded, Alan Wake 2 and Cities: Skylines II — minimum system requirements.

Loan Shark

Dark Product

Loan Shark – January 13 – Optimized for Xbox Series X|S

You’re an indebted angler, trapped in a vicious cycle of borrowing and desperation. One dark, endless night at sea you haul up something unnatural: a talking fish named Cagliuso. It promises you riches — but its bargains come with terrifying strings. In Loan Shark, the nets you cast bring more than fish.

Towerborne Launches February 26 with Massive Full Game Update

Towerborne Launches February 26 with Massive Full Game Update

  • Trisha Stouffer, CEO & President, Stoic
Towerborne Key Art

Summary

  • Created and developed by Stoic and published by Xbox Game Studios Publishing, Towerborne is a cooperative, side-scrolling action RPG brawler. 
  • Following its Xbox Game Preview release this past April, Towerborne is launching in full on February 26, 2026, on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox on PC, Steam, PlayStation 5, Game Pass (Premium and Ultimate), is handheld verified and supports Xbox Play Anywhere.
  • Towerborne will be available as a premium game for $24.99 for the Standard Edition and $29.99 for the Deluxe Edition.

First and foremost, we at Stoic want to take a moment and salute our amazing community who joined us in the Towerborne early access journey. It’s no exaggeration to say that the game would not be what it is without our community. Thank you to every Ace for your valuable feedback, passion, ideas and dedication which shaped Towerborne into our full game release.

That’s right, we’re excited to announce that we will be exiting early access and Xbox Game Preview and launching our full game on February 26, 2026, on Xbox, PC, Steam and PlayStation 5. This is all tied to a major 1.0 update to the game, and a shift in how you play and access. For those who have been with us from the start, there is a lot of new content and updates for you. And for those who will experience Towerborne for the first time, welcome! Let’s jump in.

A Reimagined Launch Experience

With this full game update, Towerborne shifts from its original vision as a free-to-play, always online title into a buy once, offline game – you will own the complete experience permanently, with offline play and online co-op.

This change required deep structural rebuilding over the past year, transforming systems originally designed around constant connectivity. The result is a stronger, more accessible, and more player-friendly version of Towerborne — one we’re incredibly proud to bring to launch.

Towerborne Screenshot

What’s Coming in the Full Game Update on February 26, 2026

  • A complete story & final showdown: We have an updated and complete story, a full narrative arc featuring a major antagonist, new side quests, and an overhauled Bounty Board.
  • Who’s the boss?: we’ve added two new bosses, including the big bad boss (that would be the antagonist we mentioned), lieutenants, and umbra enemies.
  • Fully reworked difficulty system: we’ve added an entirely new difficulty system, a complete rebalance of the game, and a new ‘Brutal’ difficulty for those who enjoy breaking controllers and swearing at their screens.
  • Map it out: we’ve reworked and reimagined the World Map and added a new coastal biome.
  • New Encounters & Combat Challenges: we’ve added new gear and player abilities, a new Forge system with the ability to modify, upgrade, and re-roll stats
  • Is there more? Yes, there’s more! We have new music from the man/myth/maestro Austin Wintory, a bunch of quality of life and bug fixes, no more cosmetic purchasing – you can acquire all cosmetics free through gameplay, we added a TON of new cosmetics, and we’ve included multiple save slots and the ability to import your current character and associated loot.

That’s just a high-level look at what you can expect with the full game release of Towerborne. This major update represents a huge shift for the game and the community, and we have worked hard to incorporate as much of your feedback as we could. We could not have done this without your participation and contributions, and again, we want to thank each and every one of you.

For more details, including how your game and items will transition from early access and game preview to full release, please visit www.towerborne.com/FAQ.

Grab Towerborne’s full game Standard or Deluxe Editions on February 26, 2026, to join the fight.
