GeForce NOW Revolutionizes Cloud Gaming with 90 FPS VR and the Launch of ‘Crimson Desert’
The landscape of cloud gaming is shifting dramatically today as NVIDIA’s GeForce NOW service unveils a significant upgrade to its virtual reality (VR) capabilities and welcomes a highly anticipated new title, Crimson Desert, to its ever-expanding library. Gamers can now experience VR with unprecedented smoothness, thanks to support for up to 90 frames per second (fps), while the open-world adventure of Crimson Desert arrives powered by GeForce RTX 5080-class performance.
This double feature of enhancements solidifies GeForce NOW’s position as a leader in accessible, high-fidelity gaming, removing hardware barriers and delivering immersive experiences to a wider audience. The updates, rolling out to members today, promise to redefine cloud gaming for both VR enthusiasts and fans of expansive, graphically demanding titles.
VR Gets a Major Performance Boost
For VR gamers, the upgrade to 90 fps streaming on GeForce NOW represents a substantial leap forward. Previously, cloud-based VR often suffered from latency and visual stuttering. Now, Ultimate members utilizing compatible Apple Vision Pro, Meta Quest, and Pico headsets will enjoy crisper motion, more responsive gameplay, and a significantly more comfortable experience. The service effectively transforms any compatible space into a personal gaming theater, allowing players to enjoy their favorite PC titles on a massive virtual screen.
Beyond the increased frame rate, all GeForce NOW premium members continue to benefit from NVIDIA RTX and DLSS technologies in supported games, further enhancing visual fidelity and performance. This combination of cloud power and cutting-edge rendering techniques delivers a truly next-generation VR experience. What impact do you think this will have on the adoption of cloud VR gaming?
‘Crimson Desert’ Arrives, Powered by the Cloud
Pearl Abyss’ Crimson Desert, a sprawling open-world action RPG that garnered over 3 million wishlists on Steam, makes its debut on GeForce NOW. Set in a war-torn fantasy world, Crimson Desert blends large-scale exploration with a compelling narrative and dynamic, combo-focused combat. Players will follow Kliff, a mercenary seeking to reunite his shattered group, navigating a detailed world filled with story missions, challenging enemies, and opportunities for discovery.
GeForce NOW delivers the full power of RTX 5080-class graphics to Crimson Desert, enabling high settings, smooth action, and stunning visuals without requiring a high-end gaming PC. This accessibility allows players to experience the game’s cinematic battles and sweeping landscapes on a variety of devices, from laptops to TVs and mobile phones. Could this be the key to unlocking open-world RPGs for a wider audience?
More Games Join the GeForce NOW Family
Beyond Crimson Desert, GeForce NOW is expanding its library with several new additions:
- Everwind (New release on Steam, March 17, GeForce RTX 5080-ready)
- Retro Rewind – Video Store Simulator (New release on Steam, March 17)
- Fallout 3 (Steam)
- World of Tanks is hosting the Battle Pass Special: Mafia event from March 19-29, bringing iconic characters and themes from the classic 2K game to the battlefield.
However, some changes are on the horizon. Cyberpunk 2077, Forza Motor Sport, Icarus, and Ark Survival Ascended will no longer be available on the free tier starting April 1, as the base-level rigs no longer meet the games’ minimum system requirements. Premium members will retain uninterrupted access.
To further sweeten the deal, the GeForce NOW Reddit community is hosting a VR headset giveaway, with details available here. Additionally, GeForce NOW creator Airie Summer is running her own gaming giveaway on X.
