In addition to new games being added to the service, NVIDIA has a couple of other interesting nuggets of information to talk about this week.

Any progress made here will be pushed out alongside the weekly Thursday updates, so stay tuned to see which have made it in.

The newly launched NVIDIA Highlights feature is also being expanded to support Rocket League. Highlights uses cloud server smarts to track games and recognise "epic moments" then automatically capture them. And lets face it, what better title to try it on than Rocket League?

All of these games should be available on GeForce Now from 1pm Pacific today (4pm Eastern, 9pm UK).
