How Do I Add Games to My GeForce NOW Library?

GeForce NOW lets you play games you already own, but how do you actually get those games into your GeForce NOW library? This article provides a step-by-step guide to adding games and getting started with cloud gaming.

1. It’s Not About “Adding” Games

First, it’s important to understand that you don’t “add” games to GeForce NOW in the traditional sense. GeForce NOW doesn’t have its own store where you purchase games. Instead, it connects to your existing game libraries on platforms like Steam, Epic Games Store, Ubisoft Connect, and others.

2. Link Your Accounts

The key to accessing your games is linking your GeForce NOW account with your accounts on these platforms. Here’s how:

  • Open the GeForce NOW app: Launch the GeForce NOW app on your device (PC, Mac, mobile, etc.).
  • Go to Settings: Find the settings menu within the app.
  • Select “Connections”: Look for a section called “Connections” or “Game Stores.”
  • Connect your accounts: Choose the platform you want to connect (e.g., Steam, Epic Games Store) and follow the on-screen instructions to log in to your account.

3. Find Your Supported Games

Once you’ve linked your accounts, GeForce NOW will automatically scan your libraries and display the games that are officially supported on the service.

4. Play!

That’s it! You can now select a supported game from your library within GeForce NOW and start playing.

Important Notes:

  • Supported Games Only: You can only play games that are officially supported by GeForce NOW. Not all games from your linked libraries will be available.
  • Game Ownership: You must own the games you want to play. GeForce NOW simply provides the high-performance hardware to play them.
  • Updates and DLC: Any updates or DLC you’ve purchased for your games on the original platform will also be available on GeForce NOW.

Wrapping Up

Adding games to your GeForce NOW library is a simple process of linking your existing game accounts. Once connected, you can enjoy your owned and supported games with the power of cloud gaming.
