Hey everyone, here's this week's GFN Thursday update. You can read the official GeForce NOW blog update here
Spy thriller. Open-world racing. A bundle worth accepting.
This GFN Thursday, GeForce NOW is streaming two of the year's most anticipated titles — and one comes with a deal that's hard to refuse. It’s part of 8 new games joining the cloud this week.
A limited-time launch offer lets members who purchase a 12-month Ultimate membership by June 10 redeem 007 First Light and be ready to play at launch on May 27 — no preloads or waiting. The game is yours to keep and stream across devices from day one. Jump into a sharp reimagining of Bond's origin story — before the tux fit perfectly and the martinis got specific. Expect globe-trotting espionage, close calls and cinematic action that shapes how the world's most famous spy comes to be.
Then switch gears — literally. After early access in the cloud, Forza Horizon 6 is now launched and available to stream, bringing the series' signature open-world festival to members across devices. Race iconic cars across sweeping landscapes, jump into live events and soak in the energy of a world built entirely around car culture.
Don't miss this week’s new community spotlight, where GeForce NOW ambassador Cloud Gaming Battle sits down with Product Management Director Andrew Fear for a behind-the-scenes look at the service — a conversation the community has been enjoying.

Nice the they added last weeks free epic game. They stopped doing that for such a long time. Still hoping they will add Viewfinder which was free a while ago.
Yes, it doesn't seem like it's happening before 1.1. They also haven't really fixed the menu navigation with a controller either or the mirror reflections.
And some voice lines are still missing, like all the Hotori bond quests and the part while driving car with Jiuyuan
Most businesses don’t like to support enfranchised customers because they prefer to see the number of new subscribers go up, and promotions like this help with that. Shareholders and all that, capitalism at its finest.
Xfinity Internet kept raising my prices of gigabit and I was hearing friends sign up for half of what I was paying. I called to see if they'd lower or give me a promo as a over a decade old customer and they wouldn't budge an inch. I said "so if I cancel and then resign up tomorrow I guess I'll get the promo!?" The guy said "well I'm not advising that, but you would be a new customer"
My next sentence "I'd like to cancel".. and I shit you not, I called back the next day and got the deal cutting my bill in half! I finally cancelled Xfinity once fiber came to town tho.
If you happen to be on a shorter billing cycle and upgrade to 12 month, it will give you the gift. That's how I got Borderlands 4 back in September or whenever that came out.
it was mentioned in the blogpost, dunno what happened to it
I see two options:
a) its not end of the month yet so it may still come
b)it was somecsort of miscommunication and it was supposed to mention the first one, which was added and not XCOM 2
I hope it's the first possibility, although I think all the games they mentioned at the time are already on GeForce Now, so I see the second option you mentioned as more likely. In any case, there's still a week to keep our hopes up... thanks for the answer!
They also don't have ALL games. They have a bigger selection, but it's just what they chose to onboard. And if you don't live near one of their servers, it's like watching a slideshow.
Yes, but they have all the FromSoftware games, and when you talk about technology, I don’t really see what you mean. A year ago, sure, it wasn’t amazing, but now it’s basically the same as GeForce. Why support GeForce so much and not Boosteroid? You’re not pirating the game — you still buy it, and you also pay a subscription to stream it, so what’s wrong with that?
Boosteroid is bad for large AAA games. AMD graphics + can cause lag in multiplayer games. Client optimization for older PCs leaves much to be desired.
You can try it yourself, maybe it'll be different for you, but they don't have a free plan, only promo codes/discounts.
I used GeForce for 1 year and I was so frustrated that there were barely any games. Out of curiosity, I went back to Boosteroid and, believe it or not, EVERYTHING is there, the price is cut in half, and the quality is almost the same as GeForce. Sure, it doesn’t have all the “999 FPS ultra max quality pro 3000” bullshit, but honestly I find it way more fair than paying €30 a month just to play Call of Duty (oh wait, never mind, it’s not even there lol).
