August Arrivals: GFN Thursday Brings 34 Games to GeForce NOW This Month

It’s a new month for GFN Thursday, which means a new month full of games on GeForce NOW.

August brings a wealth of great new PC game launches to the cloud gaming service, including King’s Bounty II, Humankind and NARAKA: BLADEPOINT.

In total, 13 titles are available to stream this week. They’re just a portion of the 34 new games coming to the service this month.

Fit for a King

It’s time to save a kingdom. Members will be able to stream King’s Bounty II (Steam) when it releases for PC later this month on GeForce NOW.

Darkness has descended over the world of Nostria in this exciting RPG sequel. Gamers will be able to play as one of three heroes, rescuing and building a personal army in a journey of leadership, survival and sacrifice. Fight for the future and outsmart enemies in turn-based combat. Every action has profound and lasting consequences in the fight to bring peace and order to the land.

More Fun for Free This Month

This month also comes with new content for some of the most popular free-to-play titles streaming on GeForce NOW. Members can look forward to experiencing the latest in Apex Legends and Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege.

“Apex Legends: Emergence,” the latest season of the wildly popular free-to-play game from Respawn and EA, launched on August 3 and brought in a new Legend, weapon and Battle Pass as well as some awesome map updates.

The newest legend, Seer, is here and ready to spot opportunities that others may miss. Players can also enjoy a new midrange weapon, the Rampage LMG, a slower but more powerful variation of the Spitfire. To top it all off, the newest map updates reveal a familiar landscape torn at the seams. Decimated World’s Edge is available now on Apex Legends and streaming on GeForce NOW.

The latest event in Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege features a new time-limited gameplay mode, a challenge to unlock a free Nomad Hive Mind set, and more. Year 6 Season 2 kicked off with a special “Rainbow Six Siege: Containment” event that sets players in the Consulate map overrun by the Chimera parasite in a new game mode called Nest Destruction. Members will be able to stream the Containment event from August 3 to August 24.
