This week’s GFN Thursday GeForce NOW drop includes a whopping 13 new games joining the cloud gaming service. ARC Raiders leads this week’s update, alongside Witchfire and a mix of RPGs, action games, and a few that are easy to jump into without a big time commitment.

If you missed it, here’s last week’s GeForce NOW roundup for a quick look at what recently landed in the cloud.

One of the games I’m curious about coming to GeForce NOW this week is Shape of Dreams. It looks like the kind of game that can turn into a “one more run” situation pretty quickly. Those always sneak up on you.

New Games Joining GeForce NOW This Week

Here’s the full list of this week’s additions, along with where each game is available:

  • ARC Raiders (Epic Games Store)
  • Citizen Sleeper (Steam)
  • Dying Light: The Beast (Epic Games Store)
  • Jotunnslayer: Hordes of Hel (Epic Games Store)
  • Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris (Xbox, available on Game Pass)
  • Pacific Drive (Xbox, available on Game Pass)
  • Pigeon Simulator (Xbox, available on Game Pass)
  • PowerWash Simulator 2 (Steam)
  • Shape of Dreams (Steam)
  • Storage Hunter Simulator (Steam)
  • Sword of the Sea (Steam)
  • Underground Garage (Steam)
  • Witchfire (Epic Games Store)

It’s a nice mix. You’ve got something story-driven like Citizen Sleeper, something more chaotic like Dying Light: The Beast, and a couple of “turn your brain off for a bit” games too.

GeForce RTX 5080-Ready Games

Two new GeForce RTX 5080-ready games join this week:

  • Sid Meier’s Civilization VII (Steam and Epic Games Store)
  • Jurassic World Evolution 3 (Steam)

If you’re the type of gamer who bumps settings just to see how far you can push things, these games won't disappoint.

Half Off Holiday Sale Still Running

NVIDIA also says its Half Off Holiday sale is still active, offering 50% off the first month of a new Ultimate or Performance membership. Full details are available on the official GeForce NOW blog.

Wrapping Up This Week on GeForce NOW

This is one of those weeks where the list is big enough that you probably already own something on it, even if you forgot it was sitting in your library. That’s kind of the sweet spot for cloud gaming. You spot a game like Citizen Sleeper or Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris and it feels a lot easier to just jump in.

I’m most interested in seeing how ARC Raiders feels in the cloud, and I’m also curious how many people jump between Witchfire and something slower paced like Shape of Dreams. Very different moods. Same week. Which one are you firing up first?
