The GeForce NOW game streaming service (in Russia provided on the GFN.RU platform) provides the highest quality gaming experience - with low latency and access to RTX games - on almost any device. The number of registered users of the service around the world is several million, and the catalog of supported games continues to be updated with new products.

To reach a new category of PC gamers, leading publishers and developers such as Ubisoft, Epic, Bungie and Bandai Namco, to name a few, have added support for their games on GeForce NOW.

The extended GeForce NOW trial period gave us the opportunity to improve the library of supported games. And developers and publishers helped us with this. And while some are still evaluating the prospects of a cloud strategy, many others are actively working in this direction. Thirty of the top 40 most popular games on Steam are already available on GeForce NOW, and over 1500 are in the optimization queue.

Ubisoft fully supports GeForce NOW

Many of Ubisoft's AAA games, both on Uplay and other game stores, are already available on GeForce NOW. And thanks to the company's support, today we are adding the entire Assassin's Creed series to our service and Far Cry. More Ubisoft games will be added in the coming weeks.

Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege from Ubisoft has already become one of the most popular games on GeForce NOW. The service also includes Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, For Honor, Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six, Tom Clancy's The Division and Watch Dogs.

Expanding the library of supported GeForce NOW games

As we prepare the global service for commercial launch in June, we continue to add some games to the service and remove others.

We work with digital game stores to enable publishers to label their games at launch as eligible for streaming on GeForce NOW. This will help us quickly add new items to the service and make the catalog more stable.

We are currently bringing as many games as possible to GeForce NOW. Users will definitely receive notifications about those games that will disappear from the catalog. On Friday April 24th we will be removing Warner Bros. games. Interactive Entertainment, XBOX Game Studios, Codemasters and Klei Entertainment, but we hope that they will return in the future.

In the meantime, stay tuned for more Game Ready games on GeForce NOW every Thursday. Large additions to the catalog are expected in April and May.

Top PC Games on GeForce NOW

Hundreds of publishers have agreed to stream their games through GeForce NOW. And among them are such popular hits on Steam as Destiny 2, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Hearts of Iron IV, Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord, Rust, Warframe and Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem.

“We're now seeing many existing gamers streaming Destiny 2 through GeForce NOW so they can play anywhere, anytime with their friends,” said Gary Clay, director of product at Bungie. “Destiny 2 is now available for free, and we're excited to partner with NVIDIA to grow our player base, including those who were previously unable to play due to lack of necessary hardware.”

Many publishers see GeForce NOW as an opportunity to gain access to a new audience of gaming enthusiasts while allowing existing players to enjoy their favorite games in a new format.

“We've seen player numbers increase in Darks Souls III and Tekken 7, and we believe this increase is due to GeForce NOW,” said Katsuhiro Harada, Bandai Namco CEO. “This service provides an excellent opportunity for new gamers to try our upcoming new products, and for old gamers to once again enjoy them in a new format.”

NVIDIA continues to add the best PC games to GeForce NOW. There are already a lot of great games in the catalog from great developers. Over time, they will be joined by other developers who share NVIDIA's desire to open the world of PC gaming to everyone.

Millions of lovers Minecraft, the most popular game in the world, will be able to experience even more visual pleasure from the game with the release of an open beta version this week Minecraft with RTX with realistic shadows, lighting and richer colors. 

“Together with Mojang studio we have added Minecraft ray tracing and artificial intelligence-based algorithms. The results were simply amazing,” says Jeff Fisher, senior vice president of gaming at NVIDIA. “Game fans around the world are excited about the new possibilities in the game, and we look forward to seeing the results of their creativity.”

On Thursday, April 16, starting at 20:00, amateurs Minecraft on Windows 10 will be able to download the beta version of the long-awaited free update to unlock new graphics capabilities with ray tracing, realistic materials and anti-aliasing technology. NVIDIA DLSS 2.0.

NVIDIA will open six new worlds for players to download for free from the store Minecraft, to see how the world will change using real-time ray tracing.  

"Minecraft with RTX, this is a completely new level of gaming development,” says Saxs Persson, creative director for Minecraft at Microsoft. - The essence Minecraft is simple and involves building using blocks. GeForce RTX GPUs make the world Minecraft much more realistic with realistic lighting effects, shadows, reflections, refractions and more.”

Ray tracing comes in Minecraft

NVIDIA, Microsoft and the game's developer Mojang Studios have added to the version for Windows 10 one of the ray tracing algorithms, known as Path Tracing. It simulates the propagation of light in a scene and provides a unified model for calculating lighting for various types of effects that were previously calculated separately using rasterization or hybrid rendering. Effects include the following:

• Direct light from the sun, sky and various sources;
• realistic hard and soft shadows;
• emissive light from surfaces such as glowing stone and lava;
• global illumination;
• ·reflections from water and metal surfaces;
• ·transparent materials, such as stained glass, water and ice with reflections and refraction of rays;
• Volumetric fog and light wells.

Ray tracing has been added to Minecraft using the industry standard Microsoft DirectX 12 Ultimate API.  NVIDIA GeForce RTX™ are the only GPUs with dedicated cores to accelerate real-time ray tracing.

New physical materials system

Building blocks in Minecraft now have properties that mimic real life—a technique known as physically based rendering (PBR). It allows you to set material properties such as emissivity, roughness, depth and metallic luster. Based on these parameters, ray tracing calculates reflections, refractions, translucency, transparency and global illumination, opening up new possibilities in the world Minecraft.

Artificial intelligence algorithms to improve image quality in Minecraft

Minecraft с RTX  supports NVIDIA DLSS 2.0 intelligent anti-aliasing technology. It works using tensor cores and is a deep learning neural network that increases performance and improves image clarity in games. This technology increases performance by more than 1.7 times, allowing you to fully draw rays in the game Minecraft with RTX.

Six magnificent new worlds Minecraft for construction and research

Towards the release of the open beta version Minecraft с RTX  NVIDIA has also released six new worlds, co-created by some of the game's brightest developers, to showcase the incredible capabilities of ray tracing and PBR textures. These developers were chosen for their fantastic creations in Minecraft.

“What Minecraft what RTX brings to the game is simply speechless, says RazzleberryFox, CEO razzleberries, founding partner and market leader Minecraft. - The new dimension given by these incredible effects charges us with new creative energy and allows us to create new, previously impossible worlds in Minecraft".

Six new worlds will be available to download for free in the store Minecraft:

• ·Water adventures with RTX  (Aquatic Adventure RTX ) by Dr_Bond

And with the Max-Q design, consumers will have a choice of thin and light laptops at all price points.”

Updated Max-Q Technology: Thinner, Lighter, and More Power-Efficient Laptops Introduced a few years ago, NVIDIA Max-Q technology completely redefined the gaming laptop experience, creating a new class of powerful yet thin and light systems that simply never existed before. Updated Max-Q technology doubles energy efficiency and includes new features that further improve performance and battery life:

Dynamic Boost — Flexible, frame-by-frame redistribution of the load between GPU and CPU improves overall gaming performance. Dynamic Boost works automatically and adaptively without increasing overall system power consumption.
Low Voltage GDDR6 - NVIDIA, together with partners, has managed to increase the efficiency of the memory subsystem: the new low-voltage GDDR6 memory works even more efficiently.
Advanced Optimus - New display technology improves battery life and delivers smooth gameplay when paired with NVIDIA G-SYNC® technology. Advanced Optimus® manages the assignment of GPU to output the image, dynamically switching the load between GPU without the need to reboot the system.
Next-Generation Regulator Efficiency — Next-generation voltage regulators help optimize system performance by reducing power consumption GPU with an overall increase in productivity.
Deep Learning Super Sampling 2.0 - An improved deep learning neural network DLSS 2.0, which runs on the special tensor cores of RTX GPUs, increases graphics frame rates, creating beautiful and clear images in games. It allows you to set maximum ray tracing settings with increased resolution and increased battery life by up to 20%.
