May Brings a Wave of Cloud Gaming Titles to GeForce NOW
May is shaping up to be an exciting month for cloud gaming enthusiasts. NVIDIA GeForce NOW is adding 16 new games to its library, including major AAA releases that will be available on day one from popular PC stores like Steam, Xbox, PC Game Pass, and GOG. Whether you're on a laptop, tablet, or smartphone, you can instantly stream your PC gaming library across almost any device without needing to repurchase titles.
Headline Launches This Month
Forza Horizon 6 – A Thrilling New Horizon
The Horizon festival returns with its most ambitious setting yet. Playground Games' Forza Horizon 6 takes players to Japan, spanning the neon-lit streets of Tokyo City to the snowy Japanese Alps. This creates the densest and most vertical map in the series. With a massive open world, an extensive car roster, and that addictive "one more race" energy, the title arrives on GeForce NOW simultaneously with its PC launch. Members can purchase the game on Steam or Xbox (including Game Pass) and then hit full throttle from the cloud on virtually any device.
007 First Light – The Origin of Bond
From IO Interactive, the studio behind the modern Hitman trilogy, comes 007 First Light, a James Bond origin story. Launching on Wednesday, May 27, for PC, the game invites players to step into the shadows as Bond begins his journey. It features a blend of stealth and action with a "breathing" gameplay loop and IOI's signature cinematic storytelling. Players can approach missions through stealth, direct combat, or creative improvisation, with multiple viable paths to each objective that let them define Bond's style. The title will be available on GeForce NOW day one for those who purchase it on Steam, Xbox on PC, or GOG.
More Power for Ultimate Members with RTX 5080-Class Performance
GeForce NOW Ultimate membership is leveling up the cloud gaming experience. NVIDIA is expanding RTX 5080-class performance across the entire cloud gaming library, bringing higher frame rates, richer visuals, and more responsive gameplay to even more of the games members already love. Ultimate members now receive priority access to these next-generation rigs, making it easier than ever to tap into top-tier PC power from almost any device. This expansion also extends to the Install-to-Play library, as confirmed in a recent update.
Celebrating 30 Years of Firaxis
GeForce NOW is marking the 30th anniversary of Firaxis Games in style. More of the studio's classic titles are being added as Install-to-Play games for instant access, just in time for a Steam celebration sale on select Firaxis games supported in the cloud. This means fans can dive into beloved strategy titles from the creators of Civilization and XCOM with the convenience of cloud streaming.
This Week’s Six New Games Kick Off the Month
