NVIDIA adds labels for Xbox Game Pass and Ubisoft+ games to GeForce Now

NVIDIA has implemented a quality-of-life update for its GeForce Now cloud gaming service that improves the visibility of supported titles that can be played with streaming services. In a blog post, the GPU manufacturer announced "in-app labels" that will appear on games that can be streamed with Xbox Game Pass or Ubisoft+.

This little tweak will help gamers better identify which games in the GeForce Now library can be played with Xbox Game Pass or Ubisoft+, preventing situations where gamers accidentally assume a game (that is available through a supported subscription) can't be played unless they buy it. To get labels working, GeForce Now users will need to first connect their Ubisoft and/or Xbox accounts to their GeForce Now account. Labels will then appear on the game art for each supported title.

NVIDIA is introducing five new games to GeForce Now this week, at the same time the labels update is going live. Vampire Crawlers: The Turbo Wildcard from Vampire Survivors will be available on Xbox Game Pass starting April 21st, Tides of Tomorrow releases on Steam starting April 22nd, '83 releases on Steam starting April 23rd, Diablo III releases on Ubisoft Connect starting April 23rd, Crimson Desert is now available for streaming through Xbox, and MapleStory M is available to play now with Steam. NVIDIA has been adding games non-stop to its GeForce Now library this month, including Pragmata, which was released on Steam April 17th.

The introduction of labels comes just after GeForce Now's last update that brought 90 FPS VR support for the first time to the cloud streaming service. Previously, VR headsets were limited to a 60 FPS experience. But with NVIDIA's Ultimate tier, VR gamers are now able to stream games at 90 FPS. Depending on the settings used and headset used, 90 FPS VR gameplay works at up to 4K resolution.

GeForce Now has three subscriptions to choose from. The free tier gives you access to over 2000 titles with 1-hour play sessions and supports up to 1080p resolution at up to 60 FPS. The performance tier is available for $9.99 a month or $99.99 a year, and has access to GeForce Now's full 4000+ game library, with 8-hour gaming sessions and support for up to 5K resolution and up to 240 FPS.
