Nvidia Expands GeForce NOW Library with Nine New Titles Including RTX 5080-Ready Zombie Thriller

Nvidia continues bolstering its GeForce NOW cloud gaming service with nine new additions this week, delivering a diverse lineup spanning survival simulations, stealth adventures, and major franchise entries. The update brings both new releases and established titles to subscribers, leveraging Nvidia's cloud infrastructure to make demanding games accessible across devices.

The standout addition is Quarantine Zone: The Last Check (Steam), which launched January 12th with optimization for GeForce RTX 5080 hardware. This tense management simulator places players in control of a checkpoint during a zombie outbreak, requiring careful inspection of survivors seeking entry to safe zones. Players utilize tools like UV scanners and behavioral analysis to detect infections while managing finite resources including food, medicine, and power. Each decision directly impacts survival chances, creating high-stakes strategy scenarios where rationing and risk assessment determine outcomes.

Complementing this release are two stealth-focused titles from the Styx series: Styx: Master of Shadows and Styx: Shards of Darkness (Epic Games Store). Both games emphasize environmental navigation and tactical avoidance over combat, casting players as a nimble goblin assassin navigating hostile territories. The timing aligns with Epic Games Store's giveaway offering both titles free until January 22nd—a significant value addition since claimed copies remain playable via GeForce NOW indefinitely.

Notable among other inclusions is Star Wars Outlaws (Ubisoft Connect), currently available through Xbox Game Pass but now accessible via cloud streaming. The action-adventure title joins The Legend of Heroes: Trails Beyond the Horizon (Steam), a January 15th JRPG release continuing the acclaimed series. Rounding out the update are simulation titles including Tavern Keeper for hospitality management enthusiasts, Waterpark Simulator for construction strategists, the automotive sandbox Mon Bazou, and the remastered RPG Guild Wars: Reforged.

For hardware-conscious users, Quarantine Zone's RTX 5080-ready status demonstrates how GeForce NOW enables high-fidelity gaming without local hardware investments. The Styx series' inclusion—particularly while free—provides immediate value for subscribers interested in stealth mechanics and vertical level design. Compared to last month's additions, this week's blend of new releases (three titles) with established games creates broader appeal across genres.

This update particularly benefits:

• Strategy gamers seeking resource-management challenges
• Stealth enthusiasts exploring free AAA alternatives
• JRPG fans accessing day-one releases via cloud
• Subscribers wanting demanding titles without hardware upgrades
