NVIDIA’s GeForce NOW introduces Xbox automatic sign-in and expands its game library with major titles like Civilization series and Black Myth: Wukong.
NVIDIA has announced a significant update to its GeForce NOW cloud gaming service, introducing support for automatic Xbox sign-in. This new feature, revealed shortly after Gamescom, allows users to link their Xbox profiles directly to GeForce NOW, enabling seamless access to Xbox PC games and other titles without the need for repeated logins.
Streamlined Gaming Experience
GeForce NOW members can now enjoy a more streamlined gaming experience as the service integrates Xbox account linking. Once set up, users will be automatically logged in across all devices, facilitating quick access to their favorite PC games. This enhancement builds upon existing support for Epic Games and Ubisoft automatic sign-in, further simplifying the gaming process for users.
In addition to Xbox integration, GeForce NOW has expanded its game library significantly. Members can now stream popular titles from the Sid Meier’s Civilization series, including Civilization VI, Civilization V, and Civilization: Beyond Earth. These additions mark the first games from publisher 2K to join the cloud gaming platform.
New Game Releases
Several high-profile games are now available on GeForce NOW. Black Myth: Wukong, an action RPG based on Chinese mythology, is among the new releases. GeForce NOW Ultimate members can experience the game’s stunning visuals and fluid combat, enhanced by NVIDIA RTX technologies such as full ray tracing and DLSS 3.
Additionally, a demo for FINAL FANTASY XVI is available, giving players a glimpse into the latest installment of Square Enix’s renowned RPG series. The full game will be launched on PC later this month, allowing members to explore the epic world of Valisthea at up to 4K resolution and 120 frames per second.
Another anticipated title, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle from Bethesda, will join GeForce NOW later this year. Players will be able to stream the game at Ultimate quality, experiencing the adventure with full ray tracing and NVIDIA DLSS 3.5 enhancements.
Expanded Data Center and New Titles
GeForce NOW has also expanded its infrastructure with a new data center in Warsaw, Poland, enhancing low-latency, high-performance cloud gaming for members in the region. This expansion is part of NVIDIA’s ongoing efforts to improve the gaming experience for its global user base.
This week’s GFN Thursday update brings a total of 25 new titles to the cloud. In addition to the aforementioned games, members can now stream titles like GIGANTIC: RAMPAGE EDITION, Skull & Bones, and Alan Wake’s American Nightmare. These additions offer a diverse range of genres and experiences, catering to various gaming preferences.
