Aniimo, Pawprint Studio's free-to-play creature-catching RPG, has launched on GeForce NOW, letting subscribers stream the open-world game on supported devices instead of installing it locally.

Aniimo sends players across a continent called Idyll to capture wandering creatures known as Aniipods, then "Twine" with a captured companion to borrow its shape and abilities for solving puzzles and fighting battles. Between expeditions, players return to a mobile base called a Homeland to house and interact with the creatures they've gathered. Steam's own listing for the game confirms the free-to-play pricing and credits Pawprint Studio as developer.

NVIDIA counts Aniimo among 11 new titles joining GeForce NOW this week, alongside Gaijin Network's multiverse shooter Active Matter and Annapurna Interactive's time-loop mystery Outer Wilds. The same GeForce NOW lineup post puts Aniimo's local install at roughly 45GB, one reason NVIDIA highlights cloud streaming as an alternative, and details a path-tracing update for 007 First Light that lets Ultimate-tier subscribers stream at up to 5K with DLSS 4.5 Super Resolution and Dynamic Frame Generation active.

Aniimo also streams through Steam Deck and Firefox alongside GeForce NOW's usual device support, and NVIDIA is framing the free-to-play title as a low-commitment way to try a day pass. A launch trailer for Aniimo is live on its Steam store page, though Pawprint Studio has not posted an equivalent video to a channel that could be independently confirmed as official, so none is embedded here.
