19/09/2024

GeForce NOW makes gamers' fantasies a reality by bringing top titles to the cloud. This week, the award-winning FINAL FANTASY XVI is available for members to stream at launch.

Catch 11 bit studios' city-survival game Frostpunk 2 before it launches with early access on GeForce NOW.

It's part of seven new games joining the expansive GeForce NOW library.

Eikonic Adventure Feel like a king streaming from the cloud with ultra-low latency. Dive into the richly crafted world of Valisthea in FINAL FANTASY XVI, the latest mainline entry in Square Enix's renowned role-playing game series. This epic action RPG unfolds in a once-glorious land blessed by the light of the Mothercrystals that's now slowly succumbing to the mysterious Blight.

Play as Clive Rosfield as he navigates a dark fantasy filled with political intrigue and magical battles against Eikons, powerful manifestations of elemental forces. Eikons are wielded by Dominants, individuals who possess incredible strength and abilities.

Featuring exhilarating real-time combat, the game allows players to unleash devastating moves by chaining together attack combos with seamless fluidity. With its gripping story, stunning visuals and intense gameplay, FINAL FANTASY XVI offers an unforgettable experience for new and longtime fans of the series alike.

Streaming the game with GeForce NOW, explore the captivating world of Valisthea without needing to worry about hardware specs or download space. Ultimate members can even stream at up to 4K resolution to experience the full visual splendor of the game, making every battle and cinematic moment even more engaging and memorable. Series newcomers can try the demo on GeForce NOW before purchasing the full game.

Winter Is Coming Chill out in the cloud. The sequel to the hit title Frostpunk will be available for members to stream at launch on Friday, Sept. 20. Members can dive into the frigid dystopia now with Advanced Access to Frostpunk 2 on GeForce NOW for those that preorder the Deluxe Edition on Steam and Xbox.

Frostpunk 2 builds on the critically acclaimed original, challenging newcomers and veterans of the series to lead a resource-starved civilization in a world locked in an eternal winter. The sequel brings more complex and expanded city-building mechanics and intricate political scenarios. Make tough choices to keep citizens alive - and somewhat happy - while navigating the harsh realities of this frozen world.

Experience Frostpunk 2 in all its icy glory on GeForce NOW and brave the eternal winter without breaking a sweat over hardware specs. Chill out with a Priority or Ultimate membership for longer gaming sessions over free users to develop intricate, sprawling cities.

Let's Get Greedy Help the Payday Gang take the system down. Dive into the high-stakes world of PAYDAY 3 as the latest downloadable content and final Year 1 chapter of the game, Fear and Greed, is available for members to stream now. Drop into the heart of Wall Street to pull off the ultimate insider trading scheme, uncover conspiracies and lead the Payday Gang to hit Concord's stocks and bring it all crumbling to the ground.
