After announcing several of the titles that'll be joining GeForce NOW throughout the month of January 2026 right at the start of the new year, we have a new batch of games revealed today for yet another GeForce NOW Thursday that will be joining the service. Some, like Quarantine Zone: The Last Check, which leads the group this week, have previously been announced. Others, like Star Wars Outlaws and The Legend of Heroes: Trails Beyond the Horizon, are new reveals joining NVIDIA's cloud streaming service.
This week's new batch of games sees a total of nine titles entering the GeForce NOW library, including the aforementioned three titles, the first two games in the Styx franchise, both of which will be free on the Epic Games Store starting today, Guild Wars: Reforged, and Tavern Keeper.
The headliner for this week, Quarantine Zone: The Last Check, is the latest game published by renowned indie publisher Devolver Digital, the team known for publishing the likes of Possessor(s), Skate Story, The Talos Principle: Reawakened, and Cult of the Lamb, to name a few. It sees you stepping into the shoes of a checkpoint officer, scanning people into the Quarantine Zone, acting as the last line of defense for the people in the zone. If you mistakenly let someone sick into the zone, you could set the plague loose on an already crumbling society.
Here's the full list of games joining GeForce NOW this week:
- Quarantine Zone: The Last Check (New release on Steam, Jan. 12, GeForce RTX 5080-ready)
- Star Wars Outlaws (Ubisoft Connect, now available on Xbox Game Pass)
- The Legend of Heroes: Trails Beyond the Horizon (New release on Steam, Jan. 15)
- Styx: Shards of Darkness (New release on Epic Games Store, free on Jan. 15)
- Styx: Master of Shadows (New release on Epic Games Store, free on Jan. 15)
- Guild Wars: Reforged (Steam)
- Mon Bazou (Steam)
- Tavern Keeper (Steam)
- Waterpark Simulator (Steam)
As we noted at the start of the year, we still have no word on some of January's bigger releases, like Code Vein II, joining the service. There's still time, though, before its release at the end of the month, so hopefully, we'll see it added either later in the month or at least sometime soon this year.
If you're looking forward to Code Vein II, you should check out our preview of the upcoming Souslike from Wccftech's Kai Tatsumoto. For even more on the game, Kai and Wccftech's Alessio Palumbo got to speak with the game's producer, Keita Iizuka and director Hiroshi Yoshimura, and you can read that interview here.
