GeForce NOW: A Year in Review
As we approach the new year, let's take a moment to reflect on the incredible year that GeForce NOW has had in 2023. It has been a year filled with top-notch gaming experiences, improved service features, and the introduction of the Ultimate membership tier. To celebrate the GeForce NOW community, GFN Thursday is bringing over 40 new games to stream from the cloud.
Highlights of the Year
The launch of the Ultimate tier has revolutionized cloud gaming in North America and Europe. With the newly rolled out GeForce RTX 4080 SuperPODs, members can now stream games at up to 240 frames per second or 4K 120 FPS on the native PC and Mac apps. The powerful NVIDIA Ada Lovelace GPU architecture has also enabled support for ultrawide resolutions, providing the smoothest and most immersive gameplay experience. To showcase the power of the cloud, NVIDIA conducted a latency test on KovaaK's, a latency-sensitive first-person-shooter aim trainer. The results were astonishing, with gamers experiencing a 1.8x improvement in aiming just by playing with an Ultimate membership. NVIDIA also challenged Cyberpunk 2077 fans to play the graphics-intensive game on an unknown system, only to reveal that they were playing with full ray tracing on a Chromebook with GeForce NOW. This impressive demonstration was even showcased at The Game Awards, highlighting the power of gaming on a Chromebook with GeForce NOW on a global stage.
Collaborations and Partnerships
GeForce NOW has formed exciting collaborations with top-quality publishers throughout the year. The 10-year partnership between NVIDIA and Microsoft has brought hit Xbox PC games and over 100 supported PC Game Pass titles to the cloud, with more to come. Members can now stream popular Xbox PC titles such as the Wolfenstein and Forza Horizon franchises, Starfield, and the Ori and Age of Empires series at high performance for the first time. Additionally, the partnership with Microsoft has allowed the inclusion of the first Activision game in the cloud, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III. Ultimate members can enjoy the highest frame rates and lowest latencies for the smoothest gameplay, thanks to NVIDIA DLSS 3 and Reflex technologies. Celebrated publisher Capcom has also brought some of its top games, including Monster Hunter Rise, Monster Hunter: World, and Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen, to the cloud. The year concluded with a celebration of 500 NVIDIA RTX-supported games and applications, with over 90 titles featuring RTX ON on GeForce NOW, including popular games like Cyberpunk 2077, Alan Wake II, Far Cry 6, and Control.
The Power of the Community
The GeForce NOW community has achieved remarkable milestones, streaming over 250 million hours in the cloud. This is a testament to the dedication and passion of the community members.
