NVIDIA has revealed the latest batch of games joining its cloud gaming GeForce NOW service, with the Vampire Survivors spin-off title, Vampire Crawlers: The Turbo Wildcard leading the pack, but this week's batch isn't all about the games. NVIDIA is also adding a significant quality-of-life improvement to the service, making it a little more seamless and easier to use for players.
Starting with the games, there are six titles either joining the cloud streaming service or getting updates for a better experience, like Crimson Desert, one of the year's biggest releases so far which joined GeForce NOW at its launch last month getting the upgrade to now by RTX 5080-ready, so players can have the best possible experience with one of the industry's most technologically ambitious and visually stunning games.
Crimson Desert is one of three titles that are now RTX 5080-ready, joined by Tides of Tomorrow, a new narrative adventure from the team behind Road 96 that is launching on Steam, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S this week, entering GeForce NOW as an RTX 5080-ready game. The third title with the same distinction is '83, the 40v40 squad-based, objective-focused tactical first-person shooter that arrives in Early Access on Steam today, April 23, from developer Blue Dot Games.
It's set in a fictional history where the Cold War didn't stay cold at all, and 1980s-era weaponry was put to full use. Blue Dot describes the game as having been designed with "accessible realism" in mind, while still including a "hardcore" experience.
- Vampire Crawlers: The Turbo Wildcard from Vampire Survivors (New release on Steam and Xbox, available on Game Pass, April 21)
- Tides of Tomorrow (New release on Steam, April 22, GeForce RTX 5080-ready)
- ‘83 (New release on Steam, April 23, GeForce RTX 5080-ready)
- Diablo III (New release on Ubisoft Connect, April 23)
- Crimson Desert (Xbox, available to play via Xbox Play Anywhere, GeForce RTX 5080-ready)
- MapleStory M (Steam)
Rounding out the rest of this week's games are MapleStory M and Diablo III as the latter joins the Ubisoft Connect, and speaking of Ubisoft, the company's Ubisoft+ subscription service is part of the quality-of-life improvements coming to GeForce NOW this week.
After getting announced during GDC 2026, GeForce NOW users will now be able to see tags for games they own through Ubisoft+ or Xbox Game Pass once they connect those libraries to their GeForce NOW accounts.
Lastly, its also worth noting for Marvel Rivals players that this week they'll be able to take advantage of new rewards, specifically the new Thor Midgard Umber Skin, which you can grab for free if you claim it by May 23, 2026.
