When you fire up your favorite game, you’re playing it instantly. That’s what it means to be Game Ready on GeForce NOW. The experience has been optimized for cloud gaming and includes Game Ready Driver performance improvements. NVIDIA manages the game updates and patches. And when a game supports RTX, you can play it on GeForce NOW with beautifully ray-traced graphics and DLSS 2/3.

The GeForce NOW library is ever-growing. In an effort to help spotlight the games that are coming to the service, we’re moving to a monthly cadence for announcing new instant access games. Games will continue to be released every week – with new game launches available day-and-date, and back catalog games released each Thursday – but our members, and your readers, will now be able to learn about what’s coming a little further in advance.

Support for Battle.net on GeForce NOW expands this GFN Thursday, as titles from the iconic StarCraft and Diablo series come to the cloud.

StarCraft Remastered, StarCraft II, Diablo II: Resurrected and Diablo III are part of 16 new games joining the GeForce NOW library of more than 1,900 titles.

Plus a new update rolling out for members this week brings AV1 streaming to Mac M3 computers. This feature will improve game streaming quality for members on M3, M3 Pro and M3 Max devices.

Plenty of Space in Hell

Dive into the original Blizzard games that set the stage for real-time strategy and action role-playing games (RPGs). StarCraft Remastered, StarCraft II, Diablo II: Resurrected and Diablo III bring galactic warfare, epic quests and legendary battles to the cloud.

In StarCraft Remastered, command one of three races — Terran, Zerg or Protoss — as they desperately struggle for survival. Build bases, gather resources and engage in intense battles using unique units and strategies.

Continue the saga with StarCraft II, with enhanced graphics and extended storytelling. Save the galaxy from emergent threats in full-length Terran, Zerg and Protoss campaigns. Take charge of all multiplayer units solo in Versus Mode, team up with a friend for Co-Op Missions or explore community-created game modes in the Arcade.

In Diablo III, become a hero to battle the forces of darkness, uncover ancient secrets and face powerful foes in the action RPG set in the world of Sanctuary. With various character classes, intense combat and a rich loot system, members can experience a gripping single-player experience and cooperative multiplayer adventures.

Pursue the mysterious Dark Wanderer and battle the denizens of hell in the remastered action RPG Diablo II: Resurrected. The title’s classic Diablo gameplay — enhanced with stunning 3D visuals for all the environments, characters and monsters — enable a nostalgic, high-quality return to hell.

Stream all the action at up to 4K resolution or up to 240 frames per second with an Ultimate membership. These top games join the Battle.net games first added to GeForce NOW, including Diablo IV, Overwatch 2, Call of Duty HQ and Hearthstone.

Remember the Cloud

The second downloadable content (DLC) for Ark Games’ Remnant II is available for members to stream. Experience a brand-new storyline, area, weapons, bosses and more in The Forgotten Kingdom.

Piece together the forgotten history of the lost tribe of Yaesha in an attempt to quell the vengeful wrath of Lydusa, an ancient stone spirit. Navigate the lingering traces of torment, treachery and death that haunt the land’s once-proud ziggurats. Traverse new dungeons, acquire powerful gear — including a new Archetype, “The Invoker” — meet unexpected allies and face new threats to return a semblance of peace to the forgotten kingdom.

GeForce NOW members will be able to stream the DLC without waiting around for downloads. Uncover the secrets of the lost tribe with an Ultimate membership for eight-hour gaming sessions and support for ultrawide resolutions.
