Cute Critters Come to the Cloud: ‘Aniimo’ Launches on GeForce NOW
NVIDIA’s GeForce NOW adds four new titles this week, including the free-to-play creature-catching game Aniimo, a path-tracing update for 007 First Light, and two additional cloud-ready releases.
Pawprint Studio’s Aniimo launches on GeForce NOW at no cost, allowing players to explore the open world of Idyll on supported devices without downloading the 45GB game. The creature-catching RPG lets users collect companions called Aniimo, use them in combat and puzzles, and build a Homeland in a personal RV. The game supports streaming via Steam Deck, Firefox browser, and other compatible platforms, removing storage barriers for new players. A free day pass can be applied toward a first membership if users choose to upgrade.
007 First Light receives a path-tracing upgrade on GeForce NOW, enhancing lighting, shadows, and reflections with NVIDIA DLSS 4.5 Ray Reconstruction for improved visual fidelity. Ultimate members can stream the title with GeForce RTX 5080-class performance, including up to 5K HDR and cinematic-quality visuals. A limited-time Deluxe Edition sale runs from Sept. 15–29 on Steam and Sept. 3–18 on Epic Games Store, offering discounted access to the expanded content.
Gaijin Network’s Active Matter, a military shooter set in a fractured multiverse, joins GeForce NOW this week. Players take on time-loop raids, survive physics-breaking anomalies, and compete in PvP battles across shifting timelines. Ultimate members can experience the game with GeForce RTX 5080-class performance, including high frame rates and low latency on supported devices. The game emphasizes survival and loot extraction before zones collapse.
Annapurna Interactive’s Outer Wilds, the space mystery praised for its exploration and storytelling, is now available on GeForce NOW. Players investigate a solar system trapped in a time loop, decipher alien signals, and uncover hidden locations before planetary destruction. The title joins the GeForce NOW library alongside the other new releases, with availability subject to onboarding schedules. A day pass allows users to test premium cloud gaming before committing to a membership.
