GeForce NOW: A faster connection arrives withUbisoft Connect

With the latest update of GeForce NOW, releasing this GFN Thursday, can get into the game faster.

There is news to discover about our latest app update – with the Ubisoft Connect account link for faster game launches – now available to subscribers, and six new games adding to the GeForce NOW library.

The update also improves the streaming experience on Mac. So this GFN Thursday is a must to also take a look at how GeForce NOW transforms Macs into powerful gaming PCs.

Simplify access

The latest update of the GeForce NOW app is arriving for subscribers on PC and Mac, starting this week. Version 2.0.36 includes a new feature that links NVIDIA and Ubisoft accounts to allow faster launch of Ubisoft Connect games by automatically logging into the user’s account. So you can skip the login process and stream this week’s favorite Ubisoft titles.

PC games on Mac? Here’s how it works

It used to be a tough choice: do you want to be a Mac user or a PC gamer? With GeForce NOW, you can play both, your Mac and your PC.

GeForce NOW transforms almost any Mac into a high-end gaming rig with the power of the cloud. NVIDIA data centers do the heavy lifting, render games at the highest quality and stream them to Macbook Pro, Macbook Air, iMac, and iOS. It is thus possible to get all the benefits of PC games, without leaving the Apple ecosystem.

Real PC versions of your games are played on GeForce NOW, without having to worry if anything has been ported to the Mac. Software compatibility for the new M1 Mac is also no problem, as the native PC version of the games is streamed directly. from the cloud.

GeForce NOW also manages supported game saves, so subscribers can play on their Macs, as well as any other supported device, without losing progress.

This means that the next time your team prepares in Apex Legends, you can join the fray from your iMac. Are you jealous of your friends who are building their ultimate Viking community in Valheim? Thanks to GeForce NOW you can join them without leaving your Mac. Build your game library with weekly free games from the Epic Games Store, with offers like Dead By Daylight.

Additionally, Geforce NOWRTX 3080 subscribers can now play at native resolution on their Macbook Air or Macbook Pro M1, at 1600p and stream even longer sessions – up to eight hours. And with RTX ON, RTX 3080 and Priority members can experience games like Cyberpunk 2077 and Control with real-time ray tracing, without the need to upgrade to a PC.

Your Mac can now run Crysis

Ready for the final battle on your Mac? For a limited time you can get a copy of Crysis Remastered for free with some GeForce NOW subscriptions. By purchasing a six-month Priority subscription or the new GeForce NOW RTX 3080 subscription, you get a free redeemable code for Crysis Remastered on the Epic Games Store. Terms and conditions apply.

Collect new games

GFN Thursday always means new games coming to the cloud. Six titles are added to the GeForce NOW library this week, including two day one releases:

● White Shadows (launch of the new game on Steam, December 7)

● Monopoly Madness (launch of the new game on Ubisoft Connect, December 9)

● Anno 1404 History Edition (free on Ubisoft Connect, December 6-14)

We make every effort to launch games on GeForce NOW as close to release as possible but, in some cases, games may not be available immediately.

Additionally, we had hoped to add both Syberia: The World Before and A-Train: All Aboard! Tourism in December. However, these games have moved their release dates to next year and will be coming to the cloud in the future.
