GeForce NOW Releases A List Of New Games And New Linux Beta Test

GeForce NOW is bringing its platform to more PC’s with the beta launch of the app to Linux coming this week.

The Linux release is build to deliver a similar experience gamers have seen on on Windows and other platforms only now build natively for the open source OS with tuning for handhelds. With all rendering happening in the cloud, even those with older hardware can still take advantage of the advanced RTX technologies it offers. If you have a solid internet connection, make sure to take advantage of ray tracing and NVIDIA DLSS, delivering RTX 5080-class performance.

Linux PCs now join the broader GeForce NOW native app family across Windows, macOS, Chromebooks, mobile devices, smart TVs, and more. Starting with support for Ubuntu 24.04 and later, the new app delivers a seamless experience that fits right into Linux desktop workflows. It transforms compatible Linux systems into high-performance GeForce RTX-powered rigs, streaming supported PC titles directly from the cloud at up to 5K resolution and 120 frames per second, or 1080p at 360 fps. This new beta finally lets a large population of gamers enjoy their favorite games on their favorite software.

Coinciding with this new release, the platform has announced the addition of 10 new games joining the cloud streaming services ranks this week. Players can expect new releases like Cairn and The Midnight Walkers to be added in the coming days, along with old releases as well. One of the most notable games being added this week is Warhammer 40,000: SPACE MARINE 2, the thrilling Grim Dark action game where you take on the mantle of a space marine and fight to stop the chaos god Tzeentch’s plots.

Other anticipated games coming this week include Half Sword, a psychics-based medieval combat simulator focused on realistic dark-ages fighting. The two games in the Prototype series also join GeForce NOW’s library; you play as “prototype” protaganists which makes them able to shapeshift, make weapons out of thin air, and run and jump very fast, among many other things. One of the most interesting games on the list is Cairn, which is a survival-climbing adventure that pushes pro climber Aava up the unforgiving face of Mount Kami, a sheer giant that no one has ever managed to summit. Take a look at the full list of games for this week below.
