14 DAY TRIAL // NVIDIA made several announcements early this week, which will heavily impact its cloud game streaming service, GeForce NOW. First off, the graphics card company revealed four important publishers and developers that will continue to support its service: Ubisoft, Epic Games, Bungie, and Bandai Namco.
Unfortunately, GeForce NOW will lose more games in the coming days, as NVIDIA revealed Microsoft Xbox Studios, Warner Bros., Codemasters, and Klei Entertainment titles will be removed from the service on April 24. That includes games like Gears of War, Forza, Hitman, and Batman series, as well as Mortal Kombat franchise.
According to NVIDIA, the GeForce NOW extended trial period has been used to refine the library of games, with developers and publishers affirming their support to the service. In that regard, NVIDIA announced that it will extend the trial for GeForce NOW Founders members until June.
As NVIDIA prepares for commercial service in June, more games will be removed and added through the end of May. We already told you about those that will be removed later this week, but there is some good news too.
Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed and Far Cry series have been added to GeForce NOW and can now be played for free. Naturally, we're talking about older titles like Assassin’s Creed Rogue, Assassin’s Creed: Revelations, Assassin's Creed II Deluxe Edition, Assassin's Creed: Director's Cut Edition, Far Cry, Far Cry 2: Fortune's Edition, and Far Cry 3.
Also, NVIDIA plans to bring over 1,500 more games to the service in the coming months, but whether or not those games are worth to be played on GeForce NOW it remains to be seen. Every Thursday, NVIDIA announces a new set of titles that are added to the service, but for the most part, these have been games that don't require powerful PCs.
The good news is NVIDIA remains committed to bringing the best of PC games to GeForce NOW, so it's probably a matter of time until big publishers and developers realize that it's in their own interest to have their games on the service.
