Newly released Samson (also known as Samson: A Tyndalston Story) is joining GeForce Now today as part of the regular Thursday updates. The action-adventure brawler is the debut game from Liquid Swords, a dev studio featuring alumni from the Just Cause and Mad Max series, and largely focuses on melee and vehicular combat in a gritty open-world setting.

Nvidia has announced a total of four games coming to the platform this week (Samson included). And on top of that, Starfield is getting a much-appreciated upgrade. The Bethesda title will now be streamable from Nvidia’s top RTX 5080-class servers, exclusive to GFN Ultimate members, which offer up to 5K 120FPS gameplay.

New additions to GeForce Now this week

Need even more action than Samson? Members can also now play Morbid Metal, a brand new action title from publisher Ubisoft, available now in Early Access. Check out the full list of this week’s additions below:

• Samson (New release on Steam, April 8, GeForce RTX 5080-ready)
• Morbid Metal (New release on Steam, April 8, GeForce RTX 5080-ready)
• DayZ (New release on Xbox, available on Game Pass, April 9)
• Rayman: 30th Anniversary Edition (Steam and Ubisoft)

There is also 1 new GeForce RTX 5080-ready game this week, in addition to Samson and Morbid Metal:

• Starfield (Steam and Xbox, available on Game Pass)

As you can see above, Samson and Morbid Metal are also coming to the service on RTX 5080 servers, while DayZ and Rayman: 30th Anniversary Edition will top out at RTX 4080-class support. The new 50 series support is still limited to “select games,” but this number is increasing with every week that passes.

Interestingly, Starfield was one of the games getting the DLSS 5 treatment during its unveiling last month. And since RTX 50 series GPUs support the fifth generation technology, it may be possible to run the new neural rendering model (and other features) while streaming over GeForce Now, but that remains speculation for now, as performance requirements are yet to be optimized. For reference, Nvidia was using a setup with two RTX 5090s when DLSS 5 was first demoed.
