Nvidia’s GeForce Nowstreaming service is celebrating a year of existence, bringing in a bunch of new titles for February – over 30 games, in fact, with 13 of them going live today.
As you may beaware, GFN Thursdays is whenNvidiaintroduces new games, and the 13 coming this Thursday include Valheim (pictured above).
It’s a co-op action RPG (for up to 10 players) with a survival theme featuring a procedurally generated environment – and it looks like good fun from the feedback onSteamthus far. Valheim is seemingly pretty brutal, too, with one review describing it as a “Minecraftversion of Dark Souls withFalloutbuilding/survival”.
There’s also Werewolf: The Apocalypse – Earthblood, a combat adventure game where you play a werewolf (unsurprisingly), plus there’sApex LegendsSeason 8 (although that already went live, as you may have noticed).
Here’s the full list of games coming in February, with the initial titles that are here right now bolded up top:
M1 Mac support live
As we already saw at the weekend,Google’s Chrome browser got official supportfor GeForce Now, although that’s already gone live. Furthermore, it was announced that the official GeForce Now macOS app is introducing support for M1-powered Macs, but that wasn’t live until now.
So those who were hunting for version 2.0.27 of the app can now go ahead and grab it, and start playing on theirMacBookor Mac mini with an M1 chip.

As part of the celebration of a whole year of GeForce Now, Nvidia shared some interesting statistics with us.
In total, there have been over 175 million hours streamed on the service, and that includes 3 million hours ofCyberpunk 2077in its full ray-traced goodness.
GeForce Now supports over 800 games currently, and obviously Nvidia hopes to expand that number going forward, with new titles debuting on GFN Thursdays, which is the “weekly celebration of the newest games, features and news”, as Nvidia puts it.
