GeForce NOW Adds World of Warcraft Titles, Capes, The Rogue Prince of Persia, Lords of the Fallen And Soulmask This Week

by Rainier on May 30, 2024 @ 6:00 a.m. PDT

GeForce NOW taps into the thriving PC gaming ecosystem by streaming games from NVIDIA GPUs in the cloud, this week adding 7 new titles to its library.

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.

GeForce NOW Brings the Heat With ‘World of Warcraft’

World of Warcraft comes to the cloud this week, part of the 17 games joining the GeForce NOW library, with seven available to stream this week.

Plus, it’s time to get rewarded. Get a free in-game mount in Elder Scrolls Online starting today by opting into GeForce NOW’s Rewards program.

Heroes Rise to the Cloud

Dive into the immersive realms of World of Warcraft, including the latest expansion Dragonflight, the nostalgic journey of World of Warcraft Classic and the recently launched World of Warcraft Cataclysm Classic. These popular, massively multiplayer, online role-playing experiences from Blizzard Entertainment immerse players in legendary battles.

Embark on a journey of endless adventure in the rich and dynamic universe of Azeroth in the latest modern expansion, World of Warcraft: Dragonflight. The expansive landscapes of the Dragon Isles are available to explore — even on the back of a fearsome dragon. The newly awakened Dracthyr Evokers are also available, World of Warcraft’s first-ever playable race-and-class combo. GeForce NOW Priority and Ultimate members can get immersed in the cinematic gameplay with support for RTX ON.

Face the return of Deathwing the Destroyer, whose violent emergence shatters and reshapes the continent of Azeroth. Journey into an era of fire and destruction in World of Warcraft Cataclysm Classic and usher in a new era for Azeroth. The updated game brings new dungeons and raids, fresh race and class combinations, and more.

Whether a seasoned adventurer or a newcomer to the game, head to the Azeroth of yesteryear in World of Warcraft Classic and relive the experience of the game as it was upon its initial launch, with a few new upgrades. Explore the Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor, venture into iconic dungeons or engage in legendary player-vs-player battles.

Experience it all with a GeForce NOW membership, which means no waiting for downloads or games to update, even for the upcoming World of Warcraft expansion The War Within.

Mount Up

GeForce NOW members get access to rewards that enhance the gaming experience. This week The Elder Scrolls Online 10-year celebration continues with an in-game reward for GeForce NOW members.

Mounts offer a great way to travel the world and provide a completely different experience to traveling on foot. This new free reward provides members with a trusty companion beyond the starter option. The mount has a sunny disposition, matching its vibrant, multihued coat. It’s an excellent horse for a new rider or one who regularly ventures into treacherous situations.

Members can claim their free mount starting today by opting into rewards and checking their email for instructions on how to redeem. Ultimate and Priority members can redeem starting today while free members will be able to claim it starting May 31. It’s available until June 30, first come first served.
