As the year draws to a close, NVIDIA's GeForce NOW cloud gaming service is making a final, significant push to solidify its library and value proposition. The company has unveiled a substantial list of over 30 games slated for addition throughout December 2025, headlined by major titles like Hogwarts Legacy and the first wave of Activision games arriving via Ubisoft+. This move not only expands the platform's catalog but also marks a pivotal moment in the cloud gaming rights landscape following Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard. Coupled with a limited-time holiday promotion, NVIDIA is positioning GeForce NOW as a compelling option for gamers looking to close out the year.
A Landmark Addition: Activision Titles Debut on Ubisoft+ via GFN
The most strategically significant update this month is the arrival of the first Activision Blizzard titles on GeForce NOW through an Ubisoft+ Premium subscription. This development is a direct result of the regulatory agreement that allowed Microsoft's acquisition of Activision to proceed, which involved selling the cloud streaming rights for Activision's games to Ubisoft. Starting December 2, subscribers can stream Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III, Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy, and the Spyro Reignited Trilogy. This integration represents a major expansion of content available through the cloud service and sets a precedent for future Activision titles to follow suit on the platform.
Selected Games Coming to GeForce NOW in December 2025:
- MARVEL Cosmic Invasion (New release on Steam/Xbox/Game Pass, Dec. 1)
- Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II (Ubisoft+, Dec. 2)
- Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III (Ubisoft+, Dec. 2)
- Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy (Ubisoft+, Dec. 2)
- Spyro Reignited Trilogy (Ubisoft+, Dec. 2)
- OCTOPATH TRAVELER 0 (New release on Steam, Dec. 4)
- Hogwarts Legacy (Steam/Epic Games Store/Game Pass, December)
- ARC Raiders (Epic Games Store, December)
- Warhammer 40,000: SPACE MARINE 2 (Epic Games Store, December)
December's Game Lineup: From Blockbusters to Indies
Beyond the Activision titles, December's additions cater to a wide range of gaming tastes. The headline grabber for many will be Hogwarts Legacy, the best-selling title of 2023, which will be available via Steam, the Epic Games Store, and Xbox Game Pass. The month also sees the cloud debut of highly anticipated titles like ARC Raiders on the Epic Games Store and Warhammer 40,000: SPACE MARINE 2. The list is rounded out by a mix of new releases and popular existing games, including OCTOPATH TRAVELER 0, For the King II, Jurassic World Evolution 3, and various simulator titles like Powerwash Simulator 2 and Storage Hunter Simulator. This diverse roster ensures there is new content for subscribers throughout the entire month.
Holiday Promotion and Quality-of-Life Improvements
To coincide with the content expansion, NVIDIA has launched a "Half-Price Holiday" sale for new members. For a limited time and while supplies last, prospective users can get a Premium GeForce NOW membership at 50% off for the first month. This promotion, active through December, is a clear bid to attract new users during the competitive holiday season. In addition to the sale, NVIDIA has implemented a quality-of-life improvement by enabling direct Battle.net account linking. This feature allows for automatic single sign-on across all supported devices, streamlining access to Battle.net games on the cloud and reducing friction for players.

The Evolving Cloud Gaming Ecosystem
The December update for GeForce NOW is more than just a monthly refresh; it's a snapshot of the rapidly evolving cloud gaming market. The inclusion of Activision's catalog via a third-party subscription service (Ubisoft+) illustrates the complex licensing and partnership structures now defining the industry. Furthermore, by adding a major, recent hit like Hogwarts Legacy alongside day-one releases for other platforms, NVIDIA is working to minimize the "content gap" often cited as a drawback for cloud services. The combination of a robust new game list, a competitive pricing promotion, and backend improvements shows a multi-pronged strategy to grow its user base as it heads into 2026.
