During Gamescom 2023 this week, Nvidia revealed its DLSS 3.5 technology for RTX 40 series GPUs. This advanced form of super sampling technology will allow players to increase performance levels at lower resolutions. Additionally, DLSS 3.5's new Ray Reconstruction technology aids intensive ray tracing tasks in games in order to ensure a comfortable level of performance without a severe reduction in frame rate. Nvidia also announced that PC gamers may gain immediate access to 19 GeForce Now-compatible games after subscribing to PC Game Pass. GeForce Now includes a number of enticing RTX features that are supported through cloud streaming.
In a new blog post, Nvidia confirms that 19 Xbox Game Pass titles are now available on the GeForce Now cloud streaming service, and more additions are coming soon. These titles include Age of Empires 4: Anniversary Edition, Gears 5, Deathloop, No Man's Sky, and Valheim. In order to play these games, PC Game Pass subscribers must first log into their Microsoft and GeForce Now accounts. Once inside the GeForce Now application on PC, users simply need to find the "Xbox" store listing underneath the title they want to play through the cloud. This indicator means that the Xbox title may be played through GeForce Now with an active PC Game Pass subscription. Here's the list of 19 Xbox Game Pass games added to GeForce Now:

Players who don't have an active PC Game Pass subscription may still play these titles after making a purchase in the Microsoft Store. According to Nvidia, more Xbox Game Pass titles will be added to GeForce Now each month. More details will be revealed in a future GFN Thursday blog post. These blog posts normally reveal a new round of titles being added to the GeForce Now service.
Nvidia and Microsoft's collaboration should be exciting for PC Game Pass subscribers wanting to try out GeForce Now for the first time. The partnership mitigates the barrier of entry into cloud streaming by offering it as a benefit for being a PC Game Pass subscriber. However, players can upgrade to a paid GeForce Now membership for better performance, max graphics, and more RTX features.
