Some features (like the Thor skin) require Premium (Priority or Ultimate).</li><li><strong>Active subscription to Xbox Game Pass (Ultimate or PC Game Pass) or Ubisoft+</strong> – The labels only appear once you link your accounts.</li><li><strong>A supported device</strong> – PC, Mac, Android, iOS (via Safari), Chromebook, Shield TV, or smart TV with GeForce NOW app.</li><li><strong>Stable internet connection</strong> – At least 15 Mbps for 720p, 25 Mbps for 1080p, and 35+ Mbps for 4K/120 fps.</li><li><strong>GeForce NOW app installed</strong> – Latest version to see the new labels.</li></ul><h2>Step-by-Step Instructions</h2><h3 id="step1">1. Link Your Subscription Accounts</h3><p>The new labels are only visible after you connect your Xbox Game Pass or Ubisoft+ account to your GeForce NOW profile. Follow these steps:</p><ol><li>Open the GeForce NOW app on any device and log in.</li><li>Go to <strong>Settings</strong> (gear icon) or your account menu.</li><li>Select <strong>Manage Subscriptions</strong> or <strong>Connected Accounts</strong>.</li><li>Choose <strong>Xbox Game Pass</strong> or <strong>Ubisoft+</strong> and click <strong>Connect</strong>.</li><li>You will be redirected to the respective service’s login page. Enter your credentials and authorize the connection.</li><li>Once linked, a confirmation message appears. The app will now sync your library and display the labels.</li></ol><p><em>Tip:</em> You can link both services if you subscribe to both. The labels will appear on each eligible game.</p><h3 id="step2">2. Understanding the New Game Labels</h3><p>After linking, browse the GeForce NOW library. Each game card now shows a clear tag beneath the title – either <strong>Xbox Game Pass</strong> or <strong>Ubisoft+</strong> – indicating that the game is available to stream because of that subscription. If you own the game on a store like Steam or Epic Games, you may see multiple tags. The label appears on the game’s detail page and in search results.</p><p>To filter by subscription, use the search bar or the left sidebar: click <strong>Filters</strong> and check <strong>Xbox Game Pass</strong> or <strong>Ubisoft+</strong>. All eligible titles will be displayed.</p><h3 id="step3">3. Playing a Tagged Game</h3><p>Once you spot a tagged game, playing it is straightforward:</p><ol><li>Click on the game card.</li><li>On the detail page, confirm the subscription tag is present.</li><li>Click <strong>Play</strong> – if you haven’t linked your account yet, the app prompts you to do so first.</li><li>The game launches in a cloud session. Use your existing save data (if cloud saves are enabled) or start fresh.</li><li>Adjust streaming settings (resolution, frame rate) in the session for optimal performance.</li></ol><p>You can also add the game to your <strong>Library</strong> for quick access later.</p><h3 id="step4">4. Discover This Week’s New Release: Vampire Crawlers: The Turbo Wildcard</h3><p>A new game joins the GeForce NOW lineup: <em>Vampire Crawlers: The Turbo Wildcard</em> – a roguelite horde escape game where you stack absurd power-ups, survive dense waves, and chase high scores. To play it:</p><ol><li>Search for “Vampire Crawlers” in the GeForce NOW app.</li><li>If you own the game on a connected platform (Steam, Epic, etc.), it will appear in your library. If not, you can purchase it via the store link provided.</li><li>Click <strong>Play</strong> to start streaming. The game runs on NVIDIA RTX servers, so expect smooth performance even with screen-filling effects.</li></ol><p><strong>Pro tip:</strong> The “Turbo Wildcard” mode introduces random modifiers each run – use the <strong>Quick Resume</strong> feature to hop between sessions on different devices.</p><figure style="margin:20px 0"><img src="https://blogs.nvidia.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/choose_gamestore94-1680x1003.png" alt="Streamlining Your Cloud Library: A Guide to GeForce NOW's New Game Discovery Features" style="width:100%;height:auto;border-radius:8px" loading="lazy"><figcaption style="font-size:12px;color:#666;margin-top:5px">Source: blogs.nvidia.com</figcaption></figure><h3 id="step5">5. Claim the Exclusive Thor Midgard Umber Skin (Premium Members)</h3><p>GeForce NOW Premium members (Priority or Ultimate) can unlock the <strong>Thor Midgard Umber Skin</strong> in <em>Marvel Rivals</em>. Here’s how:</p><ol><li>Open the GeForce NOW app and ensure your account is set to Premium.</li><li>Go to the <strong>Rewards</strong> tab (gift icon) in the main menu.</li><li>Locate the Thor skin offer – it should be featured prominently.</li><li>Click <strong>Claim</strong>. You may be redirected to a web page to confirm your platform (PC or console). Follow the instructions to redeem the code.</li><li>Launch <em>Marvel Rivals</em> via GeForce NOW (or any device) and check your in-game cosmetics – the skin will be available.</li></ol><p><em>Note:</em> The skin is exclusive to Premium members; free-tier users cannot claim it. Make sure your membership is active.</p><h2>Common Mistakes</h2><ul><li><strong>Not linking accounts before expecting labels</strong> – Even if you have an active subscription, the labels won't appear until you connect the account in GeForce NOW settings.</li><li><strong>Confusing store ownership with subscription access</strong> – The label only indicates that the game is part of your connected subscription’s library. If you own the game on Steam, you may see a separate tag.</li><li><strong>Forgetting to refresh the library</strong> – After linking your account, force-close and reopen the app, or pull down to refresh the game list. Sometimes the sync isn’t automatic.</li><li><strong>Trying to claim the Thor skin without a Premium membership</strong> – The skin is locked behind Priority or Ultimate. Check your subscription status under Settings > Membership.</li><li><strong>Ignoring regional restrictions</strong> – Some games on Game Pass or Ubisoft+ may not be available in your country due to licensing. The label will still appear, but playing might give a region error.</li></ul><h2>Summary</h2><p>With the new subscription labels, GeForce NOW makes it effortless to find and play games from Xbox Game Pass and Ubisoft+ without manual searching. Simply link your accounts, filter by label, and play instantly with RTX-powered performance. This week’s additions – <em>Vampire Crawlers: The Turbo Wildcard</em> and the Thor skin for Premium members – show how the platform continues to reward active users. By following the steps above, you can streamline your cloud library and get more value from your existing subscriptions.</p>
