GeForce NOW Kicks Off 2026 with 14 New Games Coming Across January
NVIDIA has published the first GeForce NOW Thursday update of 2026, confirming a fresh wave of titles that are live this week plus a broader rollout plan that brings the monthly total to 14 additions across January. The update highlights a mix of new releases, library expansions that unlock more storefront options, and a few high profile games that continue to strengthen GeForce NOW’s positioning as a premium cloud gaming lane for players who want PC class performance without being tethered to a single device.
This week’s drop includes 1 brand new release plus 4 titles that are now newly supported in the GeForce NOW ecosystem. In practical terms, the biggest immediate win for players is that some titles previously limited to streaming through Steam ownership now expand to additional storefronts, which improves accessibility and reduces friction for users who prefer Xbox, Epic Games Store, or Game Pass.
Games confirmed for this week
From a player value perspective, Banishers Ghosts of New Eden stands out as a narrative driven action experience that will resonate with fans of modern cinematic third person adventures, while Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine 2 brings blockbuster momentum for anyone chasing visually dense combat and high intensity co op energy. The addition of more storefront options is also a strategic quality of life upgrade, because it aligns GeForce NOW with the reality that many players spread their libraries across multiple ecosystems.
The rest of January 2026 lineup
NVIDIA also outlined the games scheduled to arrive throughout the remaining weeks of January 2026. The list is anchored by multiple new releases, plus a handful of catalog titles that should land as the month progresses.
Upcoming additions scheduled for January 2026
StarRupture (New release on Steam, Jan. 6)
Pathologic 3 (New release on Steam, Jan. 9)
Quarantine Zone: The Last Check (New release on Steam, Jan. 12)
MIO: Memories in Orbit (New release on Steam and Xbox, available on Game Pass, Jan. 20)
Nova Roma (New release Steam, Jan. 22)
Guild Wars: Reforged (Steam)
Mon Bazou (Steam)
Supermarket Simulator (Xbox, available on Game Pass)
Tavern Keeper (Steam)
When you compare NVIDIA’s January slate against the broader release calendar, several notable names are not present in this initial announcement, including 2XKO, Arknights Endfield, The Seven Deadly Sins Origin, Code Vein II, and Front Mission 3 Remake. That does not automatically mean they are excluded long term, because GeForce NOW monthly reveals often expand later with additional onboardings once publisher approvals, storefront enablement, and technical validation are finalized.
From an industry lens, this is the recurring truth of cloud libraries: availability is rarely only about demand. It is about licensing alignment, storefront configuration, and operational readiness. January’s list still delivers meaningful breadth, but the late addition pattern remains the key watch item for players hoping to see the biggest upcoming releases appear closer to launch windows.
Which January addition is the biggest win for your backlog, and what 2026 release do you most want NVIDIA to onboard next for GeForce NOW?
