Just as it announced last month, Nvidia has begun the rollout of its latest major hardware and software enhancements to the cloud gaming platform GeForce NOW. According to the company, the "Biggest Cloud Gaming Upgrade Ever" comes in the form of Blackwell SuperPOD servers that are now offering RTX 5080-level performance for subscribers in some regions.
Available for Ultimate membership owners in supported regions without a hike to the $19.99 per month price. Nvidia says that the new RTX 5080-level servers offer benefits like 5K at 120 FPS, DLSS 4 Multi Frame Generation, and ultra-low latency streaming for supported games.
"NVIDIA Blackwell RTX servers are starting to power up worldwide, so more members can start streaming with unprecedented performance on virtually any device, including PCs, Macs, Chromebooks, LG TVs (4K at 120Hz) and even Steam Decks (now up to 90 fps)," says Nvidia.
The newly upgraded servers aren"t available in every region, but Nvidia says it is currently expanding its reach. Check out the image below for where they are currently available:
At the same time, the recently announced Install-to-Play feature has now been enabled too, adding over 2,000 more games to the supported list. This offers Ultimate and Performance members 100GB of space within Nvidia servers to install and stream games they own. Additional data packs are available too, coming in at $2.99 for 200GB, $4.99 for 500GB, and $7.99 for 1TB every month on top of the subscription"s cost.
Lastly, here are the games gaining support for cloud play this week, with Borderlands 3 being the biggest day-one release:
- Firefighting Simulator: Ignite (New release on Steam, Sept. 9)
- Borderlands 4 (New release on Steam and Epic Games Store, Sept. 11)
- Professional Fishing 2 (New release on Steam, Sept. 11)
As always, keep in mind that, unlike subscription services like Game Pass, a copy of a game must be owned by the GeForce NOW member (or at least have a license via PC Game Pass) to start playing via Nvidia"s cloud servers.
