Nvidia GeForce Now expands to 2,000 streamable games

DATE POSTED:August 8, 2024

Nvidia’s GeForce Now streaming service has unique appeal to PC gamers, leveraging the collections they’ve already amassed on Steam, Epic, and other digital storefronts instead of paying for a big Netflix-style library — and the company has been expanding it ever since launch.

As of today, Nvidia’s servers can stream over 2,000 PC games. Not bad.

I checked the master list of supported streaming games on Nvidia’s promotional page just to see if they’re double-counting some games that are available on multiple storefronts. Nope! The list only includes single entries with storefronts following, so this isn’t some fine-print fudgery.

The latest weekly update includes the early access version of Frost Giant’s real-time strategy Stormgate, with later August releases raking up anticipated new titles like Star Wars Outlaws, Black Myth: Wukong, and Visions of Mana.

Remember that in order to play a game on GeForce Now, you need to own a copy of it yourself and have it associated with a supported PC game store (i.e., Steam, Epic, GOG, Microsoft/Xbox, EA, or Ubisoft).

Then, your games can be remotely streamed for free from Nvidia’s data centers via PC app, mobile app, or in a browser. The browser-based playback tool makes it an ideal way to stream high-end games on the Steam Deck and other portable hardware.

Free players are limited to 1-hour sessions and are shown ads, but upgraded tiers starting at $10 per month (or $5 per month as of this writing due to an ongoing sale) can get boosted graphics, longer sessions, and no advertising.
