You ever scroll through your GeForce NOW library and spot something that makes you do a double take? Not because it’s strange. Just because you totally forgot it was there.Today we’re looking at 10 games that quietly slipped onto the service or just haven’t been talked about much lately. Some are absolute gems, others big-name releases that flew under the radar. But all of them are ready to stream right now.
And in no particular order, let’s get into it.
Street Fighter 6
This is the game that kicked off the whole idea for this article. I was browsing my GFN library the other day, spotted Street Fighter 6, and thought — wait, that’s right, it’s here!
Capcom has been backing the platform for a while now, but it’s easy to lose track. Street Fighter 6 didn’t get a massive spotlight when it launched, but the full game is there with online play, Steam support, and solid performance.
That little “oh yeah” moment is exactly why this list exists.
Hollow Knight
One of those games people absolutely swear by until they forget it’s even in their library.
Hollow Knight is a modern classic with tight controls, atmospheric world design, and brutal boss fights. It doesn’t try to show off with tech or graphics. It just plays incredibly well on any device.
With Silksong due out this year and already opted into GFN, now’s the perfect time to revisit the original. Even if you think you’re good, Hollow Knight will humble you.
Final Fantasy XVI
This one had a quiet arrival. After all the hype, Final Fantasy XVI hit PC and GFN then kind of vanished.
But that launch actually marked a shift. A few weeks later, Call of Duty dropped on the service and more major games followed. Final Fantasy XVI might not have been the main event, but it was a sign of things changing.
Still available now and still worth checking out, especially if you’re into stylish action RPGs.
Trails of Cold Steel III
Unless you’re already deep into the Trails universe, this might’ve passed you by. But Trails of Cold Steel III is actually a great place to jump in.
It offers better pacing, clearer tutorials, and a more confident presentation than earlier entries. Add in turn-based combat, school life systems, and a long political story arc and you’ve got something special. The kind of game that quietly waits in your backlog until you’re ready for a long, rewarding ride.
Sleeping Dogs
Some games just age well. Sleeping Dogs is one of them.
This Hong Kong-set open world crime game blends martial arts combat, intense chases, and a compelling undercover cop story. It feels like a mix of GTA and a 90s action flick in the best way.
And yes, the Definitive Edition is right there on GFN with all the DLC. If you’ve never played it or just forgot it was available, this is your sign.
Nier Automata
Nier Automata is unforgettable if you’ve played it. But it’s easy to forget it’s ready to stream.
This is one of the most unique action RPGs in recent memory. Deep combat, wild narrative structure, and a soundtrack that hits hard. It’s been a few years since it launched but it still feels fresh.
If you haven’t experienced 2B’s story or want to revisit it, you won’t regret diving back in.
Prey
Prey is one of those games where the people who played it love it but not enough people actually played it.
This is immersive sim design at its finest. You’re trapped on a space station filled with shape-shifting aliens and the only way out is to get creative. The systems are deep and the freedom to solve problems your own way makes it endlessly replayable.
Prey deserved more attention when it launched and it still does now.
Vampire Survivors
This game is everywhere and yet people still forget about it.
Vampire Survivors is a simple but insanely addictive roguelike. It throws chaos at you, lets you build ridiculous upgrade combos, and somehow eats hours of your time without you noticing.
Maybe it’s too familiar at this point. Maybe the memes wore it out. But it’s still an absolute must-play and it’s sitting right there in the library.
Terminator Resistance
You’d expect a licensed Terminator shooter to be a disaster. This one is not.
Terminator Resistance is a surprisingly solid FPS. It respects the tone of the original movies, builds an atmospheric post-apocalyptic setting, and leans into stealth and slow-paced storytelling. There’s nothing flashy here but it nails the feeling of surviving against the machines.
It didn’t get much attention at launch but quietly became a favorite for fans of the franchise.
World of Warcraft
Yes, it’s fully supported.
World of Warcraft runs on GFN in both Retail and Classic versions. It even supports mods through CurseForge which makes it one of the most complete ways to play.
But because it’s been around for so long and because so many big games are hitting the service now, people often forget it’s there. Which is wild when you think about how big of a deal that would’ve been just a few years ago.
It’s easy to take WoW for granted but it’s still one of the most iconic and flexible games available to stream.
What Did We Miss?
That’s our list but we want to hear from you.
Which games on GeForce NOW do you always forget are there? Did we miss a favorite? Let us know and we might include it in a future feature.
It’s crazy how far the GFN library has come. Not long ago, a big AAA game arriving felt like an event. Now most major releases show up around launch and the library just keeps growing.
Rediscovering gems is part of the fun. So open that library, scroll through, and find something amazing you forgot about.
You’ll thank yourself later.
