Fallout New Vegas Marches Into The Cloud
GeForce NOW is celebrating the Fallout universe in a big way. Fallout New Vegas is now available to stream on the service, just in time to ride the renewed hype from the Fallout TV show.
Set in a post apocalyptic Mojave Desert, Fallout New Vegas drops you into the boots of a courier caught in a brutal power struggle over New Vegas. Every decision you make can shift control of the Strip, change which factions rise or fall, and alter how the wasteland reacts to you.
On GeForce NOW the experience is tuned for cloud play. You can jump straight into the Mojave with:
- High fidelity visuals streamed from powerful servers
- Fast response times for responsive combat and exploration
- No need for a high end gaming PC or long downloads
That means underpowered laptops, older desktops, and even phones can handle the wasteland with ease. You can spin up a quick session in seconds, whether it is a short caravan run or a late night push through the Strip.
To make things even better, GeForce NOW Ultimate members can claim Fallout 3 and Fallout 4 as special rewards while supplies last. That turns the cloud into a complete Fallout trilogy hub, all ready to stream. Eligible members should watch their email for details on how to redeem these titles.
Wizarding Worlds And Harry Potter In The Cloud
It is not all radiation and raiders. This update also brings some serious magic to GeForce NOW with Hogwarts Legacy and the LEGO Harry Potter Collection.
Hogwarts Legacy sends you to Hogwarts in the 1800s as a fifth year student with a mysterious connection to ancient magic. You can learn spells, tame magical beasts, explore the castle and its grounds, and uncover secrets hidden across a richly detailed wizarding world.
On the tech side, Hogwarts Legacy really shows what cloud gaming can do. GeForce NOW Ultimate members can stream it with:
- GeForce RTX 5080 class power in the cloud
- NVIDIA DLSS 4 for higher frame rates and smoother gameplay
- Cinematic lighting and detailed environments without local hardware upgrades
If you prefer a lighter, more playful take, the LEGO Harry Potter Collection is also streaming on GeForce NOW. It bundles LEGO Harry Potter Years 1 to 7 into a single package, letting you relive the full saga in brick form.
You can expect the usual LEGO formula:
- Co op friendly gameplay for casual sessions with friends or family
- Simple puzzles and exploration across key story locations
- Collectables and studs to hunt for completionists
Both Harry Potter titles stream instantly from the cloud, so there is no need to worry about install sizes or patching. Just log in, pick your game and start playing on supported devices.
Rainbow Six Siege Turns Ten And New Cloud Titles Arrive
Ubisoft’s tactical shooter Rainbow Six Siege is celebrating its tenth anniversary, and GeForce NOW is part of the party. For a decade Siege has focused on tight team based gameplay, precise gunplay and destructible environments that reward strategy and communication.
On GeForce NOW you can drop into Siege from a wide range of devices without needing a powerful local rig, making it easier for friends to squad up even if their hardware is not up to modern AAA standards.
To mark the ten year milestone, Rainbow Six Siege is rolling out free in game rewards throughout the month. Players can expect:
- Themed cosmetics and items
- Special packs and daily rewards
- Extras on top of the usual seasonal updates and new Operators
All of this is fully accessible through the cloud, so you can warm up on a laptop or grind long ranked sessions from your living room TV.
This GeForce NOW update also lists several other games that are available or optimized for the service:
- Pioner, a new release on Steam
- For the King II on Steam
- Avatar Frontiers of Pandora as a GeForce RTX 5080 ready title
- Hogwarts Legacy as another RTX 5080 ready showcase
These games take advantage of the high end cloud rigs to deliver visuals and performance that would usually require expensive local hardware.
There is one important change coming in January 2026 for free tier members. Some demanding games will no longer be available on the free tier because the basic rig type can not meet their minimum system requirements. The affected titles are:
- Enshrouded
- Alan Wake 2
- Cities Skylines II
- Rust
Premium members will still be able to play these games without interruption. This is a reminder that as games push visual fidelity and simulation complexity higher, stronger hardware or premium cloud tiers become more important to hit acceptable performance.
With Fallout New Vegas, Hogwarts Legacy, LEGO Harry Potter, Rainbow Six Siege and more all streaming from the cloud, there is plenty to play without upgrading your PC. Whether you want post apocalyptic role playing, wizard school adventures or high tension tactical shooters, GeForce NOW continues to position cloud gaming as a serious option for PC gamers who care about performance but do not always want to invest in high end local hardware.
