The sixth anniversary of NVIDIA’s GeForce NOW isn’t just a milestone—it’s a turning point for cloud gaming, now offering access to more than 4,500 titles across Steam, Epic Games Store, Xbox Game Pass, Ubisoft Connect, and GOG.com. This week’s update brings 12 new games, including Star Trek: Voyager – Across the Unknown* and Styx: Blades of Greed, both designed to take full advantage of the upcoming GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, which is expected to debut later this year.
For the first time, GeForce NOW is integrating Steam’s Install-to-Play feature, allowing Ultimate members to install supported Steam games directly into their cloud library—effectively doubling the number of playable titles without local storage constraints. The service also introduces curated rows for new releases, RTX-enhanced games, and free-to-play picks, while smart syncing ensures seamless transitions between local and cloud play.
Battlefield 6 and Styx: A Clash of Styles
Battlefield 6’s second season, Extreme Measures, arrives with a contaminated battlefield map, Contaminated, where visibility-warping VL-7 smoke and dynamic hazards force players to adapt mid-combat. The map’s German airbase setting adds high-stakes helicopter insertions and surgical strikes, pushing squad tactics to their limits. Meanwhile, Styx: Blades of Greed—developed by Nacon—delivers a stealth-heist experience where players loot Quartz-powered worlds with devious tools and sharp wit, appealing to fans of Dishonored and Hitman.

Among these, Star Trek: Voyager and Styx* are notable for their RTX 5080 optimization, hinting at the performance demands of next-gen cloud gaming. The service also continues its community engagement with a giveaway—featuring prizes like the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K and Thrustmaster HOTAS ONE flight stick—running through February 20 on the GeForce NOW Reddit and Discord.
A Library for Every Gamer
GeForce NOW’s library now spans free-to-play hits, AAA blockbusters, and niche indies, with Ultimate subscribers gaining priority server access and faster load times. The addition of Install-to-Play removes a key barrier for Steam users, while smart syncing ensures game progress carries over between local and cloud play. For those eyeing the future, the inclusion of RTX 5080-ready titles suggests the service is preparing for high-end hardware—including rumors of a $5,000 RTX 5090 later this year—while maintaining broad accessibility for casual and competitive players alike.
