<p><b><i>Forza Horizon 6</i></b><b> from Playground Games:</b><span style="font-weight: 400"> The Horizon festival is back and bigger than ever. This is Horizon Japan — stretching from the iconic downtown streets of Tokyo City all the way to the snowy Japanese Alps — introducing the most dense and vertical map yet. A massive new open world, a stacked car roster and that legendary “one more race” energy are all heading to GeForce NOW on the title’s launch date. Members can pick it up on PC via Steam and Xbox, including Game Pass, then hit full throttle from the cloud on almost any device.</span></p>
<p><b><i>007 First Light</i></b><b> from IO Interactive:</b><span style="font-weight: 400"> The game brings a modern James Bond origin story to the cloud when it launches Wednesday, May 27, for PC, inviting members to step into the shadows as Bond begins his journey. Experience a mix of stealth and action built around a “breathing” gameplay loop with IOI’s cinematic, set piece-driven storytelling. Approach encounters through stealth, direct action or creative improvisation, with multiple viable paths to each objective that let players define Bond’s style. It’s ready on day one for players grabbing it on Steam, Xbox on PC or GOG.</span></p>
<h2><b>More Power</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">GeForce NOW Ultimate is expanding what premium cloud gaming looks like.

<p><span style="font-weight: 400">With RTX 5080 in the cloud, Ultimate members unlock the same cutting-edge features available to GeForce RTX 50 Series GPU owners. That includes </span><a target="_blank" href="https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/technologies/dlss/"><span style="font-weight: 400">NVIDIA DLSS 4</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400"> technology for sharper image quality and higher performance, </span><a target="_blank" href="https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/technologies/reflex/"><span style="font-weight: 400">NVIDIA Reflex</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400"> for reduced system latency and faster input response, and advanced ray tracing for more lifelike lighting and reflections. </span></p>

# It’s Gonna Be May: 16 Games Hit the Cloud This Month, With More NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 Power
Source: [https://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/geforce-now-thursday-may-2026-games-list/](https://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/geforce-now-thursday-may-2026-games-list/)
*\[Editor’s note\] The blog has been updated to note that GeForce RTX 5080\-power expansion also extends to the Install\-to\-Play library\.*
It’s gonna be May — and the cloud’s in full festival mode\.
16games are joining[GeForce NOW](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce-now/)this month, including new AAA titles arriving on launch day from Steam, Xbox, PC Game Pass and GOG, so members can stream their PC libraries instantly across almost any device\. Headline launches include the highly anticipated*Forza Horizon 6*and*007 First Light,*both ready to hit the cloud on day one\.
Meanwhile, the GeForce NOW Ultimate membership dials things up with expanded RTX 5080‑class performance across the cloud gaming library, bringing higher frame rates, richer visuals and more responsive gameplay to even more of the games members already love\. Ultimate members now get priority access to RTX 5080‑class rigs, making it easier than ever to tap into next‑generation PC power from almost any device\.
GeForce NOW is also celebrating 30 years of Firaxis in style, with more of the studio’s classics coming as Install‑to‑Play titles for instant access — just in time for a Steam celebration sale on select Firaxis games supported in the cloud\.
And this week kicks things off withsixnew games dropping into the cloud, setting the stage for a May packed with new adventures\.
## **The Cloud Keeps Getting Bigger**
AAA titles are landing throughout the month on their launch dates\. Members can pick them up from their favorite PC stores — Steam, Xbox, PC Game Pass and GOG — and stream their PC gaming libraries instantly on GeForce NOW without having to repurchase titles to play across devices\.
The highly anticipated titles hitting the cloud this month include:
*Stream it on GeForce NOW\.****Forza Horizon 6*****from Playground Games:**The Horizon festival is back and bigger than ever\. This is Horizon Japan — stretching from the iconic downtown streets of Tokyo City all the way to the snowy Japanese Alps — introducing the most dense and vertical map yet\. A massive new open world, a stacked car roster and that legendary “one more race” energy are all heading to GeForce NOW on the title’s launch date\. Members can pick it up on PC via Steam and Xbox, including Game Pass, then hit full throttle from the cloud on almost any device\.
***007 First Light*****from IO Interactive:**The game brings a modern James Bond origin story to the cloud when it launches Wednesday, May 27, for PC, inviting members to step into the shadows as Bond begins his journey\. Experience a mix of stealth and action built around a “breathing” gameplay loop with IOI’s cinematic, set piece\-driven storytelling\. Approach encounters through stealth, direct action or creative improvisation, with multiple viable paths to each objective that let players define Bond’s style\. It’s ready on day one for players grabbing it on Steam, Xbox on PC or GOG\.
GeForce NOW Ultimate is expanding what premium cloud gaming looks like\. Starting today, Ultimate members can stream even more of their games on RTX 5080 virtual gaming rigs — bringing the power of the[NVIDIA Blackwell RTX](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/data-center/technologies/blackwell-architecture/)architecture to a wide range of titles\.
This update significantly broadens access to 5080 performance beyond the list of GeForce RTX 5080\-optimized titles\. Now, across nearly the entire GeForce NOW library, members can experience higher frame rates, richer visuals, and more responsive gameplay by default at up to 5K 120 frames per second or 360 fps at 1080p\.
With RTX 5080 in the cloud, Ultimate members unlock the same cutting\-edge features available to GeForce RTX 50 Series GPU owners\. That includes[NVIDIA DLSS 4](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/technologies/dlss/)technology for sharper image quality and higher performance,[NVIDIA Reflex](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/technologies/reflex/)for reduced system latency and faster input response, and advanced ray tracing for more lifelike lighting and reflections\.
With RTX 5080 powering the default Ultimate experience, GeForce NOW delivers next\-generation performance to more games, extending the value of a GeForce NOW membership\. See more details in the[knowledgebase article](https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5702)\.
## **30 Years of ‘One More Turn’**
*Happy 30th, O mighty Firaxis Games\.*GeForce NOW is celebrating three decades of Firaxis — the legendary studio behind*Civilization*and*XCOM*— with a growing lineup of some of the best strategy games on the cloud\.
Throughout May, GeForce NOW is rolling out a collection of classic Firaxis games, available as[Install\-to\-Play titles](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce-now/how-to-play/#install-to-play)for instant access\. Expanding beyond*Civilization V*and*Civilization VI*and the series’ signature “one more turn” gameplay, GeForce NOW will showcase the studio’s broader legacy\.
Take to the stars in*Sid Meier’s Civilization: Beyond Earth*, lay tracks in*Sid Meier’s Railroads\!*, defend the globe in*XCOM 2*, and command the skies in*Ace Patrol*and*Ace Patrol: Pacific Skies*\.
Add to that the anniversary celebration on Steam with discounts of up to 90% on games in the Firaxis catalog for a limited time\. It’s the perfect time for members to build their Firaxis collection in the cloud\.
## **May\-jor New Games**
*One wrong turn from glory to graveyard\.**Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era*is the official prequel that returns to the roots of the genre\-defining, critically acclaimed turn\-based strategy series\. Raise grand armies and wield devastating spells to overcome foes in solo and multiplayer, set against a grim, war\-torn world of uneasy alliances and hard choices\. Now available to stream on GeForce NOW, every decision shapes a path defined by power, strategy and hard\-earned victories
*All roads lead to Rome\. Some also lead directly into a volcano\.**Anno 117: PAX Romana*is turning up the heat with its first downloadable content \(DLC\), Prophecies of Ash, dropping a massive new volcanic island into the heart of the Roman empire\. Build a thriving city on Cinis, juggle new production chains like obsidian crafting and new items, and try to stay on the good side of Vulcan — a new deity to worship — while a very active volcano looks in the background\. Additionally, the DLC introduces a new resource a new trader, Ceacilia, and several new specialists\. Available to stream on GeForce NOW, the DLC is ready to play without waiting on big downloads or patches — just jump in, claim the new land and see whether the empire can handle a little fire and brimstone\.
