GeForce NOW at GDC 2024
GeForce NOW is showcasing its service at this week’s Game Developers Conference (GDC) in San Francisco. While developers shape the future of gaming, GeForce NOW is delivering that future to gamers with smoother performance, easier game discovery, and a fresh lineup of blockbuster titles in the cloud.

- Instantly see which titles are already available through linked subscriptions, letting members jump straight into games they own.
🕶️ Virtual‑Reality Upgrade
- Supported VR devices now stream at 90 fps (up from 60 fps).
- The higher frame rate provides a more responsive and immersive VR experience.
🔗 Account Linking Enhancements

Gaming Is Buzzing
GeForce NOW is rolling into GDC with an easier way to keep track of titles, performance upgrades, and a growing lineup of major games ready to stream at launch.
In‑App Labels
Keeping track of which game lives on which service can be tricky. In‑App labels—coming soon to GeForce NOW for connected subscriptions—will make it simple for members to know exactly what they can play.
- Once a member links an Xbox Game Pass or Ubisoft+ account, clear labels appear directly on the game art inside the GeForce NOW app.
- This eliminates guesswork and shows at a glance which titles are available from each subscription service.
Set it and forget it.
Account Linking Expansion
In addition to Gaijin single sign‑on, GeForce NOW will add GOG account linking and game‑library syncing in the coming months.
VR Upgrade
Virtual reality is also getting a boost. Starting Thursday, March 19, VR devices supported by GeForce NOW—including Apple Vision Pro, Meta Quest, and Pico—will stream at 90 fps for Ultimate members (up from 60 fps). The higher frame rate improves smoothness, responsiveness, and realism, whether you’re chasing enemies through neon‑lit streets or exploring alien worlds.
Smooth moves.
Install‑to‑Play Library Growth
GeForce NOW’s Install‑to‑Play library is expanding with select Xbox titles, including:
- Brutal Legend – Double Fine Productions
- Contrast – Compulsion Games
These additions let members download and install owned games alongside streaming favorites.
Upcoming Launch‑Day Cloud Titles

Free to Save the World
Chaos in the cloud.
Fortnite’s original adventure is back in the spotlight — and soon it’ll be free to play. The game first launched in 2017 as a story‑driven co‑op experience, and on Thursday, April 16 the “Save the World” update will officially be free for all players. Pre‑registration begins on Thursday, March 12.
Join forces against hordes of husks, solo or with a squad, in a player‑vs‑environment, action‑packed story that includes gathering, crafting, and collecting. Choose a favored playstyle from four distinct classes, upgrade over 150 heroes and weapons, and fine‑tune your loadout with extensive customization options. With hundreds of updates since launch and more than 100 hours of content, squads can build, grind gear, and engineer elaborate home‑base defenses to keep the Storm King at bay.
Note: “Save the World” isn’t available on mobile devices, including tablets. (source)
