Nvidia’s GeForce Now service is offeringFar Cry 6for streaming as of now, on the launch day of the shooter.
Six more games will join it in this week’s fresh offerings, including PC Building Simulator (come on, you can’t wait to try that freebie – don’t deny it).

Analysis: Forging ahead with plenty of new games
In total, that makes 23 new games coming to GeForce Now in October, which is a tidy amount (following a whirlwind of 59 new introductions in September,notably including games from EA). In short,Nvidia’s service is rapidly picking up steam(ahem), and certainly having some big-name titles on launch day this month represents some serious extra feathering of the streaming cap.
Far Cry 6 is of course the central gem in October’s game streaming crown, with the shooter being much-anticipated (and having some major pull in terms of Breaking Bad’s Giancarlo Esposito playing the part of the dictatorial villain).

Given that the recommended spec calls for anAMDRyzen 5 3600X orIntelCore i7-7700 CPU, plus a GTX 1080 or RX Vega 64 GPU, and 16GB of system RAM, there may be some folks who are looking for an alternative way to play Far Cry 6 on a lower-powered machine – and that’s where streaming comes in, naturally. Although you are then reliant on the quality of your internet connection rather than hardware.
Further note thatMarvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy comes with ray tracing and DLSS, and GeForce Now subscribers will get those RTX-powered benefits, too.
