NVIDIA has officially announced the most ambitious upgrade in GeForce NOW’s history—introducing Blackwell architecture, DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation, 5K 120 FPS cloud streaming, and an unprecedented expansion to over 4,500 games. This rollout represents a generational leap in both hardware and user experience for cloud gaming, aligning with Gamescom 2025’s theme of innovation without limits.
