GFN Thursday: ‘August Games’ on GeForce NOW

August brings new levels of gaming excitement on GeForce NOW, with 2,300 titles now available to stream in the cloud.

Grab a controller and get ready for epic adventures — nearly a dozen new games are coming to the cloud this month. Each week brings fresh titles for members to discover, stream and conquer.

Get ready to shrink down for big fun — early access for Grounded 2, announced as a surprise in June at XBOX Games Showcase, will be available to stream on day one: tomorrow, Aug. 1.

Plus, finish off July with the eight games available to stream this week, alongside the latest update for the acclaimed open-world action role-playing game Genshin Impact.

The Park Is Calling

Step into the wild, unpredictable world of Brookhollow Park — Grounded 2 is launching in early access in the cloud, and the backyard has never felt bigger or more alive.

Shrink to the size of an ant, navigate towering blades of grass, uncover hidden secrets and face off against bugs that can be friend or foe. Craft weapons and armor from scavenged materials, build creative bases and raise Buggie companions to help explore and survive. Whether playing solo or with friends, every day brings new challenges and surprises. Grounded 2’s quirky humor and inventive gameplay make every moment an adventure, from dodging predators to racing Buggies through underground tunnels.

Experience every detail rendered in stunning quality streaming from a GeForce RTX-powered gaming rig in the cloud. Jump into the game instantly — no downloads, installs or waiting. Whether on a low-powered laptop, Mac or mobile device, GeForce NOW brings the full power of high-end gaming hardware to members through the cloud.
