NVIDIA has revealed the games it plans to add to the GeForce NOW cloud streaming library for the month of May 2026, but what's arguably more significant this month is how NVIDIA is expanding the list of games that are classed as RTX 5080-ready. Beginning today, "across nearly the entire GeForce NOW Ready-to-Play library," players subscribed to GeForce NOW Ultimate can play their games with the power of an RTX 5080 behind them.
It's a massive expansion of the list of RTX 5080-ready games, which had previously expanded in trickles of a select few games getting added to GeForce NOW also being RTX 5080-ready. It's also just in time to support the influx of games joining the cloud streaming service this month, which will include major releases like 007: First Light and Forza Horizon 6.
Both of those releases are set for the back-half of May, and as for what's joining the service in the more immediate future, this week's additions include the spiritual successor to Garry's Mod with s&box, the new first-person sci-fi western shooter Far Far West, and Bus Bound.
Here's the full list of games joining GeForce NOW this week:
- Global Rescue (New release on Steam, April 27)
- s&box (New release on Steam, April 28)
- Far Far West (New release on Steam, April 28)
- INDUSTRIA 2 (New release on Steam, April 29)
- Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era (New release on Steam and Xbox, available on Game Pass, April 30)
- Bus Bound (New release on Steam, April 30)
And here's the full list of games that'll be added to GeForce NOW for the rest of May 2026 so far:
- Conan Exiles (New release on Steam and Epic Games Store, May 5)
- Dead as Disco (New release on Steam, May 5)

Of course, those are the games we know about so far. There will likely be new releases in May we're not yet aware of that'll join the service. In April, for example, an additional 11 games were added after the first 10 were revealed at the start of the month, led by Pragmata and Samson: A Tyndalston Story.
NVIDIA is also celebrating Firaxis' 30th anniversary by making classic Firaxis titles available to subscribers as "install-to-play titles" so you can enjoy some classic games of Sid Meier's Civilization: Beyond Earth or XCOM 2.
