Ready Player Fun: GFN Thursday Brings Six New Adventures to the Cloud

12/12/2024

From heart-pounding action games to remastered classics, there's something for everyone this GFN Thursday.

Six new titles join the cloud this week, starting with The Thing: Remastered. Face the horrors of the Antarctic as the game oozes onto GeForce NOW. Nightdive Studios' revival of the cult-classic 2002 survival-horror game came to the cloud as a surprise at the PC Gaming Show last week. Since then, GeForce NOW members have been able to experience all the bone-chilling action in the sequel to the title based on Universal Pictures' genre-defining 1982 film.

And don't miss out on the limited-time GeForce NOW holiday sale, which offers 50% off the first month of a new Ultimate or Performance membership. The 25% off Day Pass sale ends today - take advantage of the offer to experience 24 hours of cloud gaming with all the benefits of Ultimate or Performance membership.

It's Alive! Freeze enemies, not frame rates. The Thing: Remastered brings the 2002 third-person shooter into the modern era with stunning visual upgrades, including improved character models, textures and animations, all meticulously crafted to enhance the game's already-tense atmosphere.

Playing as Captain J.F. Blake, leader of a U.S. governmental rescue team, navigate the blood-curdling aftermath of the events depicted in the original film. Trust is a precious commodity as members command their squad through 11 terrifying levels, never knowing who might harbor the alien within. The remaster introduces enhanced lighting and atmospheric effects that make the desolate research facility more immersive and frightening than ever.

With an Ultimate or Performance membership, stream this blood-curdling experience in all its remastered glory without the need for high-end hardware. GeForce NOW streams from powerful GeForce RTX-powered servers in the cloud, rendering every shadow, every flicker of doubt in teammates' eyes and every grotesque transformation with crystal-clear fidelity.

The Performance tier now offers up to 1440p resolution, allowing members to immerse themselves in the game's oppressive atmosphere with even greater clarity. Ultimate members can experience the paranoia-inducing gameplay at up to 4K resolution and 120 frames per second, making every heart-pounding moment feel more real than ever.

Feast on This Dive into the depths of a gothic vampire saga, slide through feudal Japan and flip burgers at breakneck speed with GeForce NOW and the power of the cloud. Grab a controller and rally the gaming squad to stream these mouth-watering additions.

Time to rise again. The highly anticipated Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver 1&2 Remastered from Aspyr and Crystal Dynamics breathes new life into the classic vampire saga genre. These beloved titles have been meticulously overhauled to offer stunning visuals and improved controls. Join the epic conflict of Kain and Raziel in the gothic world of Nosgoth and traverse between the Spectral and Material Realms to solve puzzles, reveal new paths and defeat foes.

Defend the forbidden village. The Spirit of the Samurai from Digital Mind Games and Kwalee brings a blend of Souls and Metroidvania elements to feudal Japan. This stop-motion inspired 2D action-adventure game offers three playable characters and intense combat with legendary Japanese weapons, all set against a backdrop of mythological landscapes.

The ice cream machine actually works. Or take on the chaotic world of fast-food management with Fast Food Simulator, a multiplayer simulation game from No Ceiling Games. Take orders, make burgers and increase earnings by dealing with customers. Play solo or co-op with up to four players and take on unexpected and bizarre events that can occur at any moment.

Shift between realms in Legacy of Kain at up to 4K 120 fps with an Ultimate membership, slice through The Spirit of the Samurai's mythical landscapes in stunning 1440p with RTX ON with a Performance membership or manage a fast-food empire with silky-smooth gameplay. With extended sessions and priority access, members will have plenty of time to master these diverse worlds.

Play On Evil never sleeps. Diablo Immortal - the action-packed role-playing game from Blizzard Entertainment, set in the dark fantasy world of Sanctuary - bridges the stories of Diablo II and Diablo III. Choose from a variety of classes, each offering unique playstyles and devastating abilities, to battle through diverse zones and randomly generated rifts, and uncover the mystery of the shattered Worldstone while facing off against hordes of demonic enemies.

Since its launch, the game has offered frequent updates, including two new character classes, new zones, gear, competitive events and more demonic stories to experience. With its immersive storytelling, intricate character customization and endless replayability, Diablo Immortal provides members with a rich, hellish adventure to stream from the cloud across devices.

Look for the following games available to stream in the cloud this week:

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle (New release on Steam and Xbox, available on the Microsoft Store and PC Game Pass, Dec. 8)

Fast Food Simulator (New release on Steam, Dec. 10)

Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver 1&2 Remastered (New release on Steam, Dec. 10)

The Spirit of the Samurai (New release on Steam, Dec. 12)

Diablo Immortal (Battle.net)

The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria (Steam)
