NVIDIA is having a busy week at the GDC 2026 conference, and its GeForce Now game streaming service is at the forefront with new features and new games just announced.
Similar to a browser extension I highlighted last year that lets you know which Steam games are also available on Xbox Game Pass, NVIDIA’s GeForce Now is set to receive in-app labels on games that you already have access to in your Xbox Game Pass and Ubisoft+ subscriptions.

As it currently stands, there are more than 4,000 games available through GeForce Now, whether as Ready-to-Play or Install-to-Play. The list is always growing, and indeed, there are five new notable games on the way.
Perhaps more relevant to our readers here at Windows Central is that NVIDIA’s list of Install-to-Play games is expanding with new Xbox titles, including Brutal Legend, Quantum Break, and Contrast.
PC gamers who rely on GeForce Now to deliver their VR headsets new games are also getting some good news. On March 29, GeForce Now Ultimate subscribers will be able to stream at 90 FPS, which is a particularly huge upgrade in the VR world, considering the previous max was 60 FPS.
VR headsets that support GeForce Now include the Apple Vision Pro, Meta Quest, and Valve Index, as well as several older headsets that no longer receive as much attention (like the HP Reverb G2).
Windows Central’s take on NVIDIA GeForce Now improvements
NVIDIA GeForce Now is largely regarded as the go-to game streaming service if you’re looking for top-tier performance, and it competes directly with Xbox Cloud Gaming, which is available through Game Pass Ultimate.
Considering GeForce Now can deliver up to a 5K resolution at 120 FPS or a QHD resolution at 240 FPS, it makes it fairly easy (and economical) to enjoy games at a much higher quality than you’d be able to enjoy on lower-tier PC hardware.
With the PC hardware market undergoing one of its biggest hurdles ever, caused by DRAM and NAND shortages driven by AI, it’s not a stretch to imagine that a lot of PC gamers will eventually turn to a cloud service.

These improvements announced at GDC 2026 aren’t exactly major, but it is great to see the service continuing to get so much attention as interest in the platform heats up.
What do you think about these GeForce Now improvements?
Were you hoping for more GeForce Now news out of GDC 2026? Are you happy with the updates to VR game streaming, new game additions, and the new in-app labels?
I also want to know if you’re a regular user of GeForce Now or any other cloud gaming services. Is it the best you’ve used? Why or why not? Please let me know in the comments section!
