Cloud Gaming: July lights up with GeForce NOW

Cloud Gaming: July lights up with GeForce NOW

In our laboratory in Piombino, we see every day users eager to play the latest AAA titles, but often held back by the prohibitive cost of a modern gaming PC or the bulkiness of a console. This is where cloud gaming, and in particular NVIDIA's GeForce NOW, changes the rules of the game. The latest news for July confirms this trend, bringing a wide range of titles directly in streaming to almost every device.

What is arriving in the cloud this month

The July update is particularly rich, with the addition of 12 new titles. The absolute protagonist is Monopoly: Star Wars Heroes vs. Villains, which transports the classic board game into the Star Wars universe, allowing competition between heroes and villains with unique abilities. But the offer doesn't stop there.

The July calendar predicts the arrival of diversified titles, including:

• Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced (from July 9)
• Denshattack! and The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu (from July 15)
• Heave Ho 2 (from July 16)
• Fogpiercer (from July 17)
• ZeroSpace (from July 20)
• The Planet Crafter (from July 21)
• Carnival Hunt (from July 23)
• The Ranchers (from July 30)
• Corsair Cove (from July 31)

To these are added titles already available since June, such as DOOM Eternal and The Elder Scrolls Online, further expanding the accessible library.

What really changes for the user

The real added value of this service is not just the list of games, but the independence from hardware. Thanks to NVIDIA's infrastructure, it is possible to run complex games on an old Mac, a tablet, a smartphone, or a low-end PC.

The substantial difference lies in the subscription levels: while the Performance plan guarantees a smooth and high-quality experience, the Ultimate plan raises the bar, offering performance comparable to RTX 4080 or 5080 class graphics cards. This means being able to use technologies such as ray tracing and DLSS without having to physically purchase a latest-generation GPU.

Who is it for and what to check before starting

This service is ideal for those who already own a game library on Steam, Ubisoft Connect or Xbox (Game Pass) but do not have the hardware to run them. However, before subscribing, it is fundamental to verify two technical aspects:

1. The internet connection: Cloud gaming requires stable bandwidth and, preferably, a wired connection or 5GHz Wi-Fi to reduce latency.
2. Ownership of the titles: GeForce NOW is not a catalog of "free" games (except for free-to-play), but a streaming service. It is necessary to own the game on the corresponding platform to be able to launch it.

Conclusions

Cloud gaming is ceasing to be a promise to become a practical reality. The ability to transform a simple laptop into a high-end gaming machine is a huge competitive advantage for those who want to play without massive hardware investments.

If you are looking for a way to enjoy July's news without changing your PC, GeForce NOW represents today the most solid and high-performing solution on the market.
