Streamlining Your Cloud Library: A Guide to GeForce NOW's New Game Discovery Features

Overview

GeForce NOW has introduced a major quality-of-life upgrade for gamers who use multiple subscription services. With new in-app labels that automatically identify which titles are available through Xbox Game Pass or Ubisoft++, you can now see at a glance what's playable from your connected accounts. This update eliminates the guesswork and searching, letting you jump straight into cloud-streamed games with NVIDIA RTX performance. Alongside these discovery improvements, this week brings the chaotic roguelite Vampire Crawlers: The Turbo Wildcard and an exclusive Thor skin for Marvel Rivals (available first to Premium members). Whether you're a new user or a veteran, this guide will help you make the most of these features, from linking subscriptions to claiming rewards.

Prerequisites

Before you can take advantage of the new game labels and titles, ensure you have the following:

• A GeForce NOW account – Free, Priority, or Ultimate membership. Some features (like the Thor skin) require Premium (Priority or Ultimate).
• Active subscription to Xbox Game Pass (Ultimate or PC Game Pass) or Ubisoft+ – The labels only appear once you link your accounts.
• A supported device – PC, Mac, Android, iOS (via Safari), Chromebook, Shield TV, or smart TV with GeForce NOW app.
• Stable internet connection – At least 15 Mbps for 720p, 25 Mbps for 1080p, and 35+ Mbps for 4K/120 fps.
• GeForce NOW app installed – Latest version to see the new labels.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Link Your Subscription Accounts

The new labels are only visible after you connect your Xbox Game Pass or Ubisoft+ account to your GeForce NOW profile. Follow these steps:

1. Open the GeForce NOW app on any device and log in.
2. Go to Settings (gear icon) or your account menu.
3. Select Manage Subscriptions or Connected Accounts.
4. Choose Xbox Game Pass or Ubisoft+ and click Connect.
5. You will be redirected to the respective service’s login page. Enter your credentials and authorize the connection.
6. Once linked, a confirmation message appears. The app will now sync your library and display the labels.

Tip: You can link both services if you subscribe to both. The labels will appear on each eligible game.

2. Understanding the New Game Labels

After linking, browse the GeForce NOW library. Each game card now shows a clear tag beneath the title – either Xbox Game Pass or Ubisoft+ – indicating that the game is available to stream because of that subscription. If you own the game on a store like Steam or Epic Games, you may see multiple tags. The label appears on the game’s detail page and in search results.

To filter by subscription, use the search bar or the left sidebar: click Filters and check Xbox Game Pass or Ubisoft+. All eligible titles will be displayed.

3. Playing a Tagged Game

Once you spot a tagged game, playing it is straightforward:

1. Click on the game card.
2. On the detail page, confirm the subscription tag is present.
3. Click Play – if you haven’t linked your account yet, the app prompts you to do so first.
4. The game launches in a cloud session. Use your existing save data (if cloud saves are enabled) or start fresh.
5. Adjust streaming settings (resolution, frame rate) in the session for optimal performance.

You can also add the game to your Library for quick access later.

4. Discover This Week’s New Release: Vampire Crawlers: The Turbo Wildcard

A new game joins the GeForce NOW lineup: Vampire Crawlers: The Turbo Wildcard – a roguelite horde escape game where you stack absurd power-ups, survive dense waves, and chase high scores. To play it:

1. Search for “Vampire Crawlers” in the GeForce NOW app.
2. If you own the game on a connected platform (Steam, Epic, etc.), it will appear in your library. If not, you can purchase it via the store link provided.
3. Click Play to start streaming. The game runs on NVIDIA RTX servers, so expect smooth performance even with screen-filling effects.

Pro tip: The “Turbo Wildcard” mode introduces random modifiers each run – use the Quick Resume feature to hop between sessions on different devices.

5. Claim the Exclusive Thor Midgard Umber Skin (Premium Members)

GeForce NOW Premium members (Priority or Ultimate) can unlock the Thor Midgard Umber Skin in Marvel Rivals. Here’s how:

1. Open the GeForce NOW app and ensure your account is set to Premium.
2. Go to the Rewards tab (gift icon) in the main menu.
3. Locate the Thor skin offer – it should be featured prominently.
4. Click Claim. You may be redirected to a web page to confirm your platform (PC or console). Follow the instructions to redeem the code.
5. Launch Marvel Rivals via GeForce NOW (or any device) and check your in-game cosmetics – the skin will be available.

Note: The skin is exclusive to Premium members; free-tier users cannot claim it. Make sure your membership is active.

Common Mistakes

• Not linking accounts before expecting labels – Even if you have an active subscription, the labels won't appear until you connect the account in GeForce NOW settings.
• Confusing store ownership with subscription access – The label only indicates that the game is part of your connected subscription’s library. If you own the game on Steam, you may see a separate tag.
• Forgetting to refresh the library – After linking your account, force-close and reopen the app, or pull down to refresh the game list. Sometimes the sync isn’t automatic.
• Trying to claim the Thor skin without a Premium membership – The skin is locked behind Priority or Ultimate. Check your subscription status under Settings > Membership.
• Ignoring regional restrictions – Some games on Game Pass or Ubisoft+ may not be available in your country due to licensing. The label will still appear, but playing might give a region error.

Summary

With the new subscription labels, GeForce NOW makes it effortless to find and play games from Xbox Game Pass and Ubisoft+ without manual searching. Simply link your accounts, filter by label, and play instantly with RTX-powered performance. This week’s additions – Vampire Crawlers: The Turbo Wildcard and the Thor skin for Premium members – show how the platform continues to reward active users. By following the steps above, you can streamline your cloud library and get more value from your existing subscriptions.
