Cheers to 2024: GeForce NOW Recaps Year of Ultimate Cloud Gaming

This GFN Thursday wraps up another incredible year for cloud gaming. Take a look back at the top games and new features that made 2024 a standout for GeForce NOW members.

Enjoy it all with three new games to close the year.

Remember to mark the calendar for the CES opening keynote, to be delivered by NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang on Monday, Jan. 6.

That’s a Wrap

In another ultimate year of high-performance cloud gaming, GeForce NOW introduced new features for cloud gamers and reached a significant milestone by surpassing 2,000 games in its library, thanks to strong collaborations with celebrated publishers.

Don’t pass up the chance to get all the premium benefits of the cloud for 24 hours.

GeForce NOW also launched new data centers in Japan and Poland this year, bringing GeForce RTX 4080-powered servers to gamers in the regions. Day Passes were introduced to offer gamers more flexible ways to access the cloud, with the ability to enjoy premium benefits of Ultimate and Performance memberships for 24 hours at a time.

Members who wanted to stream their favorite PC games to Valve’s Steam Deck were provided a new beta installation method that let them automatically install Google Chrome to the device, along with all the settings needed to log in to GeForce NOW to stream their favorite games. And GeForce NOW brought an upgraded streaming experience for Performance members, providing up to 1440p resolution — an increase from the original 1080p limit.

Conquering in the cloud never looked so good.

The rollout of Xbox automatic sign-in streamlined the gaming experience, enabling members to link their Xbox profile to their GeForce NOW account for seamless access to their game libraries. GeForce NOW also partnered with CurseForge to bring mod for World of Warcraft, enabling Ultimate and Priority members to easily enable and customize over 25 top WoW Addons in the cloud, enhancing their gameplay experience across various devices.

Everything is great in the cloud.

The highly anticipated Indiana Jones and the Great Circle made its debut in the cloud, offering players a thrilling globetrotting adventure with stunning ray-traced graphics and NVIDIA DLSS 3 support. Fans could uncover one of history’s greatest mysteries as they traveled from the pyramids of Egypt to the sunken temples of Sukhothai, all while enjoying the game’s immersive action and intriguing puzzles.

The cloud is the path of least resistance.

Early access for Path of Exile 2 arrived with deep customization options and improved visuals. Dragon Age: The Veilguard captivated players with BioWare’s rich fantasy world, while Black Myth: Wukong pushed cloud gaming graphics to new heights with its stunning take on Chinese mythology.

The long-awaited S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl brought its intense survival horror to the GeForce NOW cloud, and Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 delivered fast-paced multiplayer action to members on day one.

Raining terror on any device.

GeForce NOW also welcomed Activision Blizzard games and Battle.net integration. Members gained access to blockbuster titles like Diablo IV, Overwatch 2, Call of Duty: Warzone, Hearthstone and more, adding to the cloud gaming library some of the most popular multiplayer titles.

And it doesn’t stop there — check back in each week to see what’s in store for GeForce NOW in the new year.
