Steel clashes and war drums thunder as a new age of battle dawns — one that will test even the mightiest Slayer.
This GFN Thursday, DOOM: The Dark Ages — the bold medieval-inspired prequel to DOOM and DOOM Eternal — is available for GeForce NOW premium members, aka Ultimate and Performance members, to stream from the cloud at launch. Premium members can also slay in style with a free in-game reward.
The stage is set and the crowd is buzzing — Capcom: Fighting Collection 2 is joining GeForce NOW at launch.
Plus, get ready to take to the skies with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 coming to the cloud this week.
And catch the latest GeForce NOW updates rolling out to members starting this week. The updates include quality-of-life improvements, following performance enhancements like 120 frames-per-second streaming for SHIELD TV to keep the cloud gaming experience at its best.
It’s all part of another thrilling GFN Thursday, with five new games joining the cloud.
Stand and Fight
DOOM: The Dark Ages is a dark fantasy and sci-fi single-player experience that delivers the searing combat and over-the-top visuals of the DOOM franchise, powered by the latest idTech engine.
As the super weapon of gods and kings, shred enemies with devastating favorites like the Super Shotgun while wielding a variety of new bone-chewing weapons, including the versatile Shield Saw. Players will stand and fight on the demon-infested battlefields in the vicious, grounded combat the original DOOM is famous for. Take flight atop the new fierce Mecha Dragon, stand tall in a massive Atlan mech and beat demons to a pulp with the newly enhanced glory kill system. Only the Slayer has the power to wield these devastating tools of mayhem.
Experience every gory detail, thunderous shield bash and demon-splitting kill in the cloud. No downloads, no waiting — just pure, uninterrupted DOOM action, wherever members want to play.
GeForce NOW Ultimate or Performance members can now claim the DOOM Slayer Verdant skin reward, a fierce, ruthless-looking armor set that’s built for relentless slaughter. Those who’ve opted in to GeForce NOW’s Rewards program can check their email for instructions on how to redeem it. It’s available through Sunday, June 15, first come, first served.
Step Into the Ring
Capcom’s new fighting collection hits the stage — and the cloud.
Choose from fan favorites like Capcom vs. SNK 2: Mark of the Millennium 2001 and Project Justice, as well as 3D action titles like Power Stone and Power Stone 2 in this collection of eight classic fighting games. Each can be played online or in co-op mode. Get back in the ring and duke it out in battles that everyone rumored but no one believed.
Chase victory by streaming on GeForce NOW. Ultimate and Performance members enjoy higher resolutions and lower latency compared with free users for a true cloud-gaming edge.
Game On
Streaming from a powerful GeForce RTX gaming rig in the cloud enables GeForce NOW to deliver continuous improvements and new features that enhance members’ streaming experiences. This week, update 2.0.74 is rolling out, bringing several enhancements to the cloud.
Members will see an upgraded library syncing feature for those using PC game subscription services like PC Game Pass and Ubisoft+, making it even easier to jump into games. Supported titles for these game services will now be automatically added to members’ “My Library” after resyncing their Ubisoft, Battle.net and Xbox connected accounts in the GeForce NOW app.
This update follows the recent performance boost for SHIELD TV users in SHIELD Experience 9.2.1, now supporting up to 120 fps 1080p streaming for GeForce NOW Ultimate members. Those who prefer higher resolution over frame rates can continue streaming at up to 4K 60 fps.
With such ongoing updates, GeForce NOW is making cloud gaming more seamless and accessible across devices.
