GFN Thursday Updates - August 27, 2026
GeForce NOW is bringing more ways to play from Gamescom — with new control over how supported games look and perform, expanded device support across the Steam ecosystem, and more major games headed to the cloud.
More Control, More Devices
GeForce NOW is bringing Ultimate members new NVIDIA DLSS 4.5 controls for DLSS Super Resolution, Dynamic Frame Generation and Ray Reconstruction.
Device support is expanding, too. Support for Steam Machine with Steam Controller is coming later this fall, building on existing Steam Deck support. GOG single sign-on is making it easier to link an account once and jump into supported games without repeatedly signing in, and Firefox is now officially supported for gamers playing in the browser. Expanded Amazon Fire TV support is also on the way.
Big Games, Day One in the Cloud
A blockbuster lineup of PC games is also coming to GeForce NOW at launch, including CONTROL Resonant, Gears of War: E-Day, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, The Blood of Dawnwalker and STAR WARS Zero Company.
Ultimate members can stream the lineup with GeForce RTX 5080-class performance, including NVIDIA DLSS 4, ray tracing, NVIDIA Reflex and Cinematic Quality Streaming technologies, with up to 5K HDR on supported devices.
There’s an extra bonus for CONTROL Resonant, too: for a limited time, gamers who purchase a 12-month GeForce NOW Ultimate membership can receive the game at launch at no additional cost. The offer runs Aug. 25 through Sept. 27.
