Looks like Bethesda have pulled all of their games from GeForce Now, other than Wolfenstein: Youngblood.
Looks like we might be seeing more and more publishers pull their games from the service now that Nvidia are charging for it. GeForce Now is now missing games from Activision Blizzard, Bethesda, Capcom, Konami, EA, Square-Enix, Bandai Namco, Remedy and Rockstar.
Quote from GeForce Now boss Phil Eisler regarding their current 90 day trial period that the service is in (as in, nobodies paying for it yet):
Please be advised most Bethesda Softworks titles will be removed from the GeForce NOW service today. Wolfenstein Youngblood will remain for all members. Founders members can continue to experience the game with RTX On.
Bethesda follows Activision in pulling games from Nvidia’s GeForce Now
Another bad sign for the state of cloud gaming as GeForce Now loses another publisher.

Nvidia's GeForce Now cloud gaming service has had a somewhat rocky launch since it exited beta earlier this month, and it's getting even rockier. The company says it's now losing games from major publisher Bethesda Softworks, which owns Bethesda Game Studios series like Fallout and The Elder Scrolls as well as id Software franchises like Doom. According to Nvidia, one title that will stick around is Wolfenstein: Youngblood, for reasons the company is not disclosing.
This announcement comes just a week after GeForce Now lost access to all Activision Blizzard titles due to a licensing dispute. Apparently, Nvidia had access to Activision Blizzard titles when GeForce Now was still in beta, but it never got full permission once the service became a commercial product and Nvidia started charging $5 a month for it. Prior to that, the service was free to use if you actually managed to get off the wait list.
After GeForce Now entered what Nvidia is calling its public trial, there was also reportedly a disagreement between the two companies over the platform's model, which allows subscribers to buy games on other platforms, like Steam, and use them on GeForce Now.

"As we approach a paid service, some publishers may choose to remove games before the trial period ends," Eisler continued. "Ultimately, they maintain control over their content and decide whether the game you purchase includes streaming on GeForce Now."
