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.
Time to be wowed: GeForce NOW members can now stream World of Warcraft on supported devices with in-game mods powered by the CurseForge platform for WoW customization. With support for top mods, even the most hardcore raid leaders can play like a hero, thanks to the cloud.

Play Your Way
Return to World of Warcraft in style across supported devices with GeForce NOW and support for top CurseForge Addons. One of the most popular platforms for WoW Addons, CurseForge includes user interface customization, combat Addons, action bars, quest helpers and many more categories.
GeForce NOW has collaborated with CurseForge to include over 25 of the top Addons from its platform, available to Ultimate and Priority members — including Day Pass users — to seamlessly customize their WoW experience. The Addons are just as easy to implement as they would be while playing locally on a PC gaming rig, and a CurseForge account isn’t required — just launch WoW and enable Addons from the game’s menu.
After clicking the new “Addons” button from the in-game menu, paying GeForce NOW members can choose the Addons they’d like to enable or opt to enable all. After that, CurseForge will ensure Addons update automatically, and GeForce NOW will remember the Addons selected on each game launch. Check out this article for more details.
Stream World of Warcraft and any mods that normally only work on PC across devices that the game is supported on, including SHIELD TVs, underpowered laptops, Chromebooks and handheld devices like the Steam Deck. Addons will work across all supported WoW experiences on GeForce NOW, including Classic and Cataclysm Classic. From ancient wonders to perilous dungeons, GeForce NOW is the best way for game veterans and newcomers alike to experience unparalleled adventure in the heart of Azeroth.
Members can show off their World of Warcraft Addons in the cloud by sharing a screenshot on social media using #ModsonGFN for a chance to be featured on GeForce NOW’s channels.
