Nvidia is adding 26 games to GeForce NOW, its cloud gaming platform, throughout August, with eight titles live this week as the company showcased the service at QuakeCon 2026 in Grapevine, Texas. GeForce NOW lets subscribers stream PC games they already own to laptops, phones, smart TVs and other devices without needing powerful local hardware.
This Week’s Eight Games
Leading the batch is World of Warships: Legends, a free-to-play naval combat game where players command destroyers, cruisers and battleships across large multiplayer battles. Its newest update, the Pacific Hammer Campaign, adds a new line of U.S. destroyers along with additional content for existing players.
Joining it this week are Big Walk, Beacon Pines, Sovereign Tower, Expeditions: Samurai, The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales, The Incident at Galley House and Machine Party. All eight stream instantly on supported devices, with no downloads or local installs required.
QuakeCon Showcase
At its booth, Nvidia demonstrated GeForce NOW Ultimate running on GeForce RTX 5080 servers, streaming at resolutions up to 5K and 120 frames per second on an ultrawide display. A separate demo showed the service running on the Lenovo Legion Go S handheld. The company also highlighted cross-device continuity, showing how a session started on one supported screen can be picked up on another without losing progress, including with several Bethesda titles.
Convention attendees weren’t the only ones with access. Nvidia is offering a day pass that lets anyone try Ultimate-tier streaming and Bethesda’s catalog without committing to a monthly subscription.
Rest of August’s Lineup
Eighteen more games are scheduled to arrive over the coming weeks: Pax Autocratica, Car Wash Simulator, Clawed, Hell Let Loose: Vietnam, Sandustry, The Sinking City 2, Mortal Shell II, Gallipoli, Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2, Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy and Breathedge 2, along with High on Life, High on Life 2, Paradise Killer, Misery, Pratfall and Starvester. Nvidia has not given exact dates for the last six.
July’s Late Additions
Nvidia also confirmed that 15 more games from July’s lineup have since gone live, beyond the dozen already reported that month. They include Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, Halo: Campaign Evolved, and remastered versions of Dino Crisis and Dino Crisis 2, along with Breath of Fire IV, CloverPit, Dinoblade, Esports Manager 2026, Funnel Runners, a demo for Granblue Fantasy: Relink’s Endless Ragnarok content, a demo for Onimusha: Way of the Sword, Pathogenic, Sudden Attack Zero Point and The Life and Suffering of Prince Jerian.
One title had a more complicated status. Mistfall Hunter appeared on July’s list of additions, but Nvidia said it did not carry over into this month’s schedule as some players expected, and pointed users to future GFN Thursday updates for word on when it might return.
How Access and Pricing Work
Games added to GeForce NOW aren’t free to play by default. Players need to already own each title through a supported storefront, such as Steam, the Epic Games Store or the Microsoft Store, before they can stream it — being “added” to the service means Nvidia’s servers now support running that specific game remotely, not that it comes bundled with a subscription. Nvidia says more than 2,300 games can be streamed instantly this way, with thousands more accessible through a separate install-based system for Steam titles.
GeForce NOW is sold in three tiers: a free option limited to one-hour sessions, a Performance tier at $9.99 a month, and the Ultimate tier at $19.99 a month, which is required for the RTX 5080 streaming Nvidia showed off at QuakeCon. Paid subscribers are also capped at 100 hours of play per month, a limit introduced at the start of the year, with extra hours available for a small fee. The service is offered directly by Nvidia in North America, Europe, Japan and India, and reaches other regions through local telecom partners under its GeForce NOW Alliance program.
What Comes Next
Nvidia has also shifted how it previews upcoming releases, moving from weekly to monthly public rundowns while continuing to add individual games every week. The company said the change is meant to give subscribers earlier notice of what’s coming, with the next monthly list expected in early September.
