Faster Cloud Gaming With Gaijin Single Sign On
GeForce NOW is doubling down on what cloud gaming is all about: getting you into the action as fast as possible. The latest update focuses on smoother logins and stronger performance, especially for gamers with existing Gaijin.net accounts.
If you play titles from Gaijin, like the popular combined arms game War Thunder, you can now link your Gaijin account directly to GeForce NOW using single sign on. That means fewer passwords, fewer extra screens and less time typing before you are back in your tank, plane or vehicle of choice.
Setting it up is simple. Open the GeForce NOW app on your PC or Mac, go into the settings and find the Connections section. From there you can log in with your Gaijin.net account and link it to the cloud. Once linked, supported Gaijin games on GeForce NOW will launch straight into your account without asking you to log in every session.
This is the same library first, platform linking approach GeForce NOW already offers with Xbox and Ubisoft Connect. The idea is that your existing PC accounts and game libraries follow you to whatever device you are using, with minimal friction. Whether you are on a low powered laptop, Mac, or another device, your Gaijin library is just a click away.
For players who bounce between systems or travel a lot, this is a small but meaningful quality of life improvement. No more juggling passwords just to get a quick match in. You connect once and you are set across devices.
RTX 5080 Power Across the GeForce NOW Library
On the performance side, NVIDIA is continuing to roll out its latest cloud hardware to more of the GeForce NOW library. Ultimate members can now play nearly the entire catalog on servers powered by GeForce RTX 5080 level performance.
That means higher frame rates, better visuals and lower latency for a wide range of games, both Ready to Play and Install to Play. If you are an Ultimate tier member, you get access to this upgraded performance without buying a new GPU yourself. Your local device mostly handles streaming and basic input while the heavy lifting is done on NVIDIA hardware in the cloud.
For gamers with older PCs, thin and light laptops or even systems without dedicated GPUs, this is a big deal. You can stream modern games with settings and performance that would normally require a powerful desktop. Combine that with linked accounts like Gaijin single sign on and you get something very close to a high end PC experience on almost any machine.
While the update does not go deep into technical specs, RTX 5080 class servers are designed to support high resolutions and smooth gameplay, especially for those who take advantage of high refresh rate monitors and want low latency for competitive titles.
New Games Joining GeForce NOW This Week
Along with the login and performance updates, seven new games are joining the GeForce NOW lineup. All of them support RTX 5080 performance for Ultimate members, so you can stream them at their best without worrying about your local hardware.
Here is what is new on the service.
-
Dead as Disco (New release on Steam, May 5)

All these games benefit from the RTX 5080 hardware for Ultimate members, which helps with visual quality, smooth frame rates and responsive controls. For players using Game Pass or building libraries across multiple storefronts, GeForce NOW acts as a central streaming hub that ties everything together.
