GeForce RTX 5080 Power In The Cloud
GeForce NOW Ultimate just hit a major milestone. NVIDIA has finished rolling out its Blackwell RTX upgrade to every data center worldwide, including the final region in Stockholm. That means all Ultimate members now stream from RTX 5080 class GPUs in the cloud, with faster performance and lower latency than ever before.
The hardware upgrade is all about bringing high end PC gaming performance to any device. With an Ultimate membership you are effectively renting a powerful gaming rig in the cloud that streams games directly to your screen. This setup is ideal if you do not have a high end gaming PC at home but still want premium performance.
Ultimate now delivers:
- GeForce RTX 5080 class power in the cloud
- Support for NVIDIA DLSS 4 to boost frame rates and image quality
- Streaming up to 5K resolution at 120 frames per second
- Low latency gameplay that feels close to a local gaming PC
For games like Battlefield 6, Borderlands 4 and Outer Worlds 2, this upgrade means higher frame rates, smoother action and more detailed visuals. Effects like ray tracing and high resolution textures are far more accessible since the heavy lifting happens on NVIDIA servers instead of your personal hardware.
Black Friday Deal And Battlefield 6 Reward
To celebrate the full Blackwell RTX rollout, NVIDIA is running a big Black Friday promotion on GeForce NOW Ultimate. New members can get 50 percent off the first three months of an Ultimate membership. The offer runs through Sunday November 30 and is available in the United States, Mexico and Japan.
For gamers curious about cloud gaming, this is a good entry point. You can test how well streaming fits your setup and internet connection while enjoying RTX 5080 class performance at half price for the first quarter.
NVIDIA is also adding a bit of flair for Battlefield 6 players. Ultimate members can claim a free in game weapon skin for the Marksman SVK 8.6 DMR. The skin features a rugged battle scarred metal look with digital accents, designed to stand out in the chaos of large scale battles. It is a limited time reward available until Friday December 26 and can be claimed by logging into GeForce NOW as an Ultimate member.
Alongside the deals and rewards, NVIDIA is running a GeForce NOW Community Video Contest. Players are encouraged to submit their best gameplay clips or share why streaming with GeForce NOW is special to them. Prizes include Ultimate day passes and even a full year of Ultimate access, giving more people a chance to experience cloud gaming at high performance levels.
New Games Joining The GeForce NOW Library
Every week NVIDIA expands the GeForce NOW library with more PC titles that can be streamed from the cloud. This week adds a mix of new releases and established games including another set marked as GeForce RTX 5080 ready.
Here are the new additions:
- Of Ash and Steel New release on Steam with RTX 5080 ready performance, launching November 24. This one benefits directly from the upgraded hardware, letting you push visual settings high while keeping gameplay smooth.
- Kill It With Fire Available through Xbox and PC Game Pass starting November 25. This is a lighter title that still streams easily to lower powered devices.
- Project Motor Racing New release on Steam launching November 25. It is a serious racing simulation with meticulously recreated cars and global circuits, dynamic weather and physics focused gameplay. The cloud GPU power helps keep frame rates high, which is vital in competitive racing.
- Brotato A popular arena shooter roguelite on Steam, now playable from almost any device through the cloud.
- Cricket 26 A new cricket experience on Steam, ideal for sports fans who want a modern sports sim without the need for a dedicated gaming rig.
- GODBREAKERS Available on Steam, bringing another action centered title to the service.
- Zero Hour A tactical first person shooter on the Epic Games Store, focused on slow paced, methodical gameplay where smooth performance and clear visuals help with precision.
On top of those, another RTX 5080 ready title is highlighted this week:
- Phasmaphobia The popular co op ghost hunting horror game on Steam. With RTX 5080 class streaming, you can crank up the settings and still keep frame rates steady, which is important when every flicker of movement might be a ghost.
NVIDIA notes that the launch dates they share on GFN Thursday reflect the games official PC release dates. These titles will appear on GeForce NOW within the following week, so members can usually start streaming shortly after launch.
Overall this update shows how cloud gaming is steadily catching up to high end local PCs. With RTX 5080 class hardware running in data centers and DLSS 4 boosting performance, Ultimate members get a powerful virtual rig for a subscription price. Combined with discounts, cosmetic rewards in games like Battlefield 6 and a growing library of both indie and AAA titles, GeForce NOW continues to be a strong option for gamers who want high performance without constantly upgrading their own hardware.
