This week’s GFN Thursday update brings a major platform upgrade to GeForce NOW, with official flight stick support now live across supported games. The update also adds four new games to the cloud, including the newly released game MIO: Memories in Orbit.
The feature rollout follows NVIDIA’s CES 2026 announcements and marks one of the more substantial input upgrades the service has seen to date, especially for flight and space simulation fans.
Flight Stick Support Arrives on GeForce NOW
GeForce NOW members can now use supported flight sticks and throttles when streaming compatible games, starting with the Thrustmaster T.Flight HOTAS One. The new support allows you to bring full stick-and-throttle setups into the cloud, with low-latency input and native recognition through the GeForce NOW app.
A new “Flight Controls” row has also been added to the app, making it easier to find games that support flight hardware. NVIDIA says this is the first step in a broader rollout, with additional peripherals and refinements planned over time.
To mark the launch, NVIDIA is running a limited giveaway offering a T.Flight HOTAS One and a one-month GeForce NOW Ultimate membership. The giveaway is open through January 24 via NVIDIA and Thrustmaster’s social channels.

Delta Force Is Coming to the Cloud
Also confirmed this week is the upcoming arrival of Delta Force from Team Jade. Delta Force is also headed to GeForce NOW, adding another high-profile title to the service’s growing lineup.
It’s the kind of shooter where smart positioning and teamwork go a lot further than just running in guns blazing.
New Games Joining GeForce NOW This Week
Alongside the platform update, four new titles are now available to stream:
- MIO: Memories in Orbit (Steam and Xbox, available via Game Pass, Jan. 20)
- Bladesong (Steam, Jan. 22)
- Rustler (Epic Games Store, free starting Jan. 22)
- The Gold River Project (Steam, Jan. 23, RTX 5080-ready)
MIO: Memories in Orbit stands out this week with its slower, exploration-first design, while the rest of the lineup is made up of smaller games that are easy to dip into.
Wrapping Up This Week on GeForce NOW
Between flight stick support and another solid batch of new games, this week’s GFN Thursday update continues to push the service beyond basic cloud access. Whether you’re looking to take to the skies or dive into something more atmospheric, there’s plenty here worth checking out.
