GeForce NOW is having a massive week of announcements as it’s now gaining the luxury of Xbox auto-sign-in. If that were the only thing coming to the service this week, it would still be a good week for subscribers. There are few things more annoying when you’re trying to play a game than being bogged down by sign-in processes that take extra long. So this will make things a lot smoother and more efficient, and dare we say more enjoyable since you’ll be able to get into your games faster.
Xbox games joined the GeForce NOW catalog quite some time ago at this point. Each week has steadily brought more and more games to the service. All as part of Microsoft’s partnership with NVIDIA to introduce some of Microsoft’s game catalog to GeForce NOW. It might seem odd considering Microsoft has its own cloud gaming feature through Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. The two services are fairly different in what they offer though, and it was also part of Microsoft’s concessions to get its acquisition of Activision Blizzard pushed through approvals from regulators.
In addition to the Xbox auto-sign-in, GeForce NOW is also introducing a massive new list of games dropping on the service this week.
GeForce NOW gets Xbox auto-sign-in as well as 25 new supported games
It’s been a while since GeForce NOW has had such a large influx of games in a single week. Usually, NVIDIA adds support for anywhere from 3-10 games. This week the company is gracing subscribers with support for a whopping 25 games. 25! It’s not unprecedented since it’s happened before in the past, but it doesn’t happen often. So this is kind of a big deal. Included in this week’s list is the newly released Black Myth: Wukong.
A souls-like/souls-lite action RPG that places you in the role of Sun Wukong. It’s a game that’s inspired by the Chinese novel Journey To The West. If you like action RPG games with challenging combat, you’ll love it. On top of that, it has a rich history driving the story and lore and absolutely gorgeous visuals. In short, it’s an excellent game that you should absolutely play. The thing is, it’s also a very taxing game in terms of graphics.
Luckily, with GeForce NOW you can play the game with an Ultimate membership. Which as you may know by now is driven by servers that are powered by RTX 4080 GPUs. So that means high frame rates, DLSS 3 support, really beautiful graphics, and all those other awesome features.
Another big drop this week is the Final Fantasy XVI demo. Square Enix officially announced that Final Fantasy XVI is coming to PC. The game doesn’t release for a little while yet, but the demo is available to play right now. And you can play it via GeForce NOW. In addition to these two games, there are a host of others. Such as Skull & Bones on Steam, Alan Wake’s American Nightmare, and many others. The full list can be found in the screenshot below.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle will be streamable on day one
Gamescom has spawned plenty of awesome new gaming announcements, one of which was the official release date for Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. It’ll be coming to Xbox Series X|S, Xbox Game Pass, and PC via Steam on December 9. To make things even better, the Steam version will be streamable on GeForce NOW on day one. It’ll also be coming to PS5 in the Spring of 2025.
Additionally, NVIDIA has announced that it’s rolling out a new data center in Warsaw, Poland. So even more gamers will get to enjoy their favorite games across tons of screens.
