NVIDIA Expands GeForce NOW with 16 New Games in May and Enhances Ready-to-Play Library to RTX 5080 Compatibility

Expansion of RTX 5080-Ready Games on GeForce NOW

NVIDIA has significantly broadened the selection of games compatible with the RTX 5080, transitioning from a gradual addition of a few titles to a robust catalog ready for GeForce NOW. This expansion coincides with a wave of new game releases expected on the cloud streaming platform this month, notably including 007: First Light and Forza Horizon 6.

The latter half of May will see the launch of these major titles. In addition, there are several exciting games set to join GeForce NOW shortly.
