Rain or shine, a new month means new games. GeForce NOW kicks off April with nearly 20 new games, seven of which are available to play this week.
GFN Thursday celebrates the 10-year anniversary of ZeniMax Online Studios’ Elder Scrolls Online by bringing the award-winning online role-playing game (RPG) to the cloud this week.
Plus, the GeForce NOW Ultimate membership comes to gamers in Japan for the first time, with new GeForce RTX 4080 SuperPODs online today.
The Rising Sun Goes Ultimate
GeForce NOW is rolling out the green carpet to gamers in Japan, expanding next-generation cloud gaming worldwide. The Ultimate membership tier is now available to gamers in the region, delivering up to 4K gaming at up to 120 frames per second, all at ultra-low latency — even on devices without the latest hardware.
Gamers in Japan can now access from the cloud triple-A titles by some of the world’s largest publishers. Capcom’s Street Fighter 6 and Resident Evil Village will be coming to GeForce NOW at a later date for members to stream at the highest performance.
GeForce NOW will operate in Japan alongside GeForce NOW Alliance partner and telecommunications company KDDI, which currently offers its customers access to GeForce RTX 3080-powered servers, in addition to its mobile benefits. Plus, new GFNA partners in other regions will be announced this year — stay tuned to GFN Thursdays for details.
A Decade of Adventure
Discover Tamriel from the comfort of almost anywhere with GeForce NOW. Explore the Elder Scrolls universe solo or alongside thousands of other players in The Elder Scrolls Online as it joins the cloud this week for members.
For a decade, Elder Scrolls Online has cultivated a vibrant community of millions of players and a legacy of exciting stories, characters and adventures. Players have explored Morrowind, Summerset, Skyrim and more, thanks to regular updates and chapter releases. The title’s anniversary celebrations kick off in Amsterdam this week, and fans worldwide can join in by streaming the game from the cloud.
Set during Tamriel’s Second Era, a millennium before The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, The Elder Scrolls Online has players exploring a massive, ever-growing world. Together they can encounter memorable quests, challenging dungeons, player vs. player battles and more. Gamers can play their way by customizing their characters, looting and crafting new gear, and unlocking and developing their abilities.
Experience the epic RPG with an Ultimate membership and venture forth in the cloud with friends, tapping eight-hour gaming sessions and exclusive access to servers. Ultimate members can effortlessly explore the awe-inspiring fantasy world with the ability to stream at up to 4K and 120 fps, or experience the game at ultrawide resolutions on supported devices.
April Showers Bring New Games
Dive into a new adventure with Mega Man X DiVE Offline from Capcom. It’s the offline, reimagined version of Mega Man X, featuring the franchise’s classic action, over 100 characters from the original series and an all-new story with hundreds of stages to play. Strengthen characters and weapons with a variety of power-ups — then test them out in the side-scrolling action.
