GeForce NOW has added 14 titles to its cloud gaming library for January, with five of those available to stream immediately.

The expansion follows the introduction of NVIDIA Blackwell RTX hardware to the service last year. The upgrade brought GeForce RTX 5080 performance to the Ultimate membership tier, alongside DLSS 4 support and 5K streaming at 120 frames per second, the company said.

“The amazing announcement of the RTX 5080 being added to GeForce NOW with features like DLSS 4 and 5K 120 fps streaming was a true game changer for cloud gaming,” said Nads from Cloud&Console.

NVIDIA also said the native GeForce NOW app has added support for Steam Deck and introduced an Install-to-Play feature. These updates expand access to thousands of supported titles across Steam, Epic Games Store and Game Pass.

The company recently ran an Ultimate Contest, awarding two Ultimate Day Passes and a one year Ultimate membership to leading participants. NVIDIA named its top ten winners, including pfoglista and danipeter007+gfn.

Games available to stream this week include My Winter Car (new release on Steam, 29 December), Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden (Xbox, available on Game Pass), The Casting of Frank Stone (Xbox, available on Game Pass), Eternights (Epic Games Store) and Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 (Epic Games Store), which is GeForce RTX 5080 ready. Factorio on Steam is also listed among the service’s RTX ready titles.
