Witcher 4

Hi. I’m not a gamer and I don’t have a decent gaming PC, but I’d like to play The Witcher 4 when it comes out. Do you think it’ll be available on GeForce NOW right away? I’m not sure whether I should start saving for a PlayStation or if getting GeForce NOW for a month will be enough.

Im not familiar with the rules how games get added to geforce now

Thanks ✌🏻

Mortal Shell II GFN players: if you’ve lost access or can’t get a refund, please contact Playstack

Mortal Shell II was advertised by NVIDIA as coming to GeForce NOW and was playable on the service during Early Access. Some of us purchased the game specifically because of that support.

The publisher subsequently opted the game out of GeForce NOW due to an audio bug. NVIDIA has since clarified that the same audio issue occurs on local PCs as well as the cloud, and there is currently no ETA for the game returning to GFN.

This has left some customers in a particularly bad situation: they bought the game specifically to play through GFN, played it while it was available, and now cannot access it through GFN at all. Some players have also reported being denied Steam refunds because they accumulated more than two hours of playtime while the game was still available on GFN.

If you're affected by this or simply want clarification about whether GFN support is returning, I think the most useful thing we can do is contact Playstack directly and politely make them aware of how many customers this is affecting.

Please don't harass individual developers or community moderators. This appears to be a publisher/platform decision, and the community moderators themselves have said they aren't responsible for it.

When contacting Playstack, I'd specifically ask:

  • Will Mortal Shell II be opted back into GeForce NOW?
  • If so, is there any approximate ETA?
  • If the audio bug also occurs locally, why does GFN access need to remain disabled while it is being fixed?
  • What are customers who purchased specifically for GFN supposed to do if Steam refuses their refund because they played for more than two hours before access was withdrawn? (some customers can not keep playing due to their hardware limitations)

Playstack contacts:
info@playstack.com
support@playstack.com

If you're affected, I'd recommend emailing both addresses. Please keep it civil and explain your own situation so Playstack can see how many individual customers this is affecting.

Tried to get back to local gaming but it just wasn't meant to be.

Got a pretty good price on a new rig (RT 9070 XT + R7 7800X3D + 32gb ram + 2tb ssd). Bought it, waited for a week for it to arrive, unpacked it and got all the things setup. It was buttery smooth for few days but then everything started going to shit. Freezes, booting issues, network adapter going on/off and about a week in I had enough assuming it was a motherboard issue and decided to return it as it was still inside the return policy period.

Now hoping the return goes well I'll be getting my money back in few weeks to a month but coming back to my old rig with GFN I just don't feel motivated to risk it again (now with ~20% higher prices) just for the ability to play locally.

Just saying that with hardware prices going up and all the unlucky shit related to it settling for GFN doesn't seem like such a bad thing after all. GFN does have it's kinks but if the rig is acting up you just load another one and there usually isn't any rig related issues in the first place.

After having an absolutely shitty week loading a game up on GFN hassle free was just the thing. Don't know why I'm posting this rant/story but I guess I just wanted to say thank you GFN.

witcher 3 But why does it look so bad?

Witcher 3

4K resolution

Custom bitrate of 100 Mbps

Set to 60 fps; everything is at the highest level and highest quality.

My internet connection is excellent.

There are no issues with my internet.

But why does it look so bad?

FPS World of Warcraft

Hi everyone!
So, I’m new to GeForce NOW, and for now I’ve chosen the free version to get a feel for how everything works, as well as how my PC and internet connection handle it.
I signed up for GeForce NOW mainly to play WoW, because my PC can barely keep up with the game anymore.
My first impression is actually pretty good. The game runs much better than it does natively on my PC, even with the graphics settings at maximum!
However, I have a couple of questions.
First, could someone explain why, whenever I enter one of the game’s major cities, for example Dornogal, the game becomes less smooth and drops to around 20–30 FPS, even though the streaming image itself remains at 60 FPS, as you can see in my screenshot? I thought that since the game is being streamed, it would remain just as smooth regardless of where I am in the game.
My second question is: why do I have to redo my GeForce NOW app settings every time I close and reopen it? For example, the quality/sharpness settings for games and so on.
I’m playing over Wi-Fi because unfortunately I don’t have the possibility of using an Ethernet connection.
Thanks to everyone who takes the time to answer, and have a great evening!

GFN Thursday Updates - August 20, 2026

https://preview.redd.it/icqbnr69vckh1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=beaab0793a6389240102c281b0c1c09db3c19eb2

Hey everyone, here's this week's GFN Thursday update. You can read the official GeForce NOW blog update here:

The cloud is bringing the fire this GFN Thursday.

Following this week's Firefox announcement, GeForce NOW support is now live in Firefox on Windows - giving members another way to jump into high-performance PC gaming straight from the browser.

Outfox all the downloads by streaming straight from the Firefox browser: No dedicated app, game downloads or extra storage space required. GeForce NOW Ultimate members can play with GeForce RTX-powered cloud gaming up to 1440p and 120 frames per second, directly in Firefox.

This week's lineup is led by Gallipoli, the latest entry in the WW1 Game Series. Members can take on 25v25 objective-based battles across the Ottoman Fronts, then keep the action moving with cloud saves across their devices.

And members can look for the 13 games arriving throughout the week:

  • Stars Reach (New release on Steam, Aug. 18)
  • The Sinking City 2 (New release on Steam, Aug. 18)
  • Gallipoli (New release on Steam, Aug. 20)
  • DIVE or DIE - Children of Rain (Steam)
  • Escape the Backroom (Xbox, available on Game Pass)
  • Hell Is Us (Xbox, available on Game Pass)
  • High on Life (Steam)
  • High on Life 2 (Steam and Xbox, available on Game Pass)
  • Parcel Simulator (Steam)
  • Starvester (Steam)
  • The Thaumaturge (Xbox, available on Game Pass)
  • Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered (Epic Games Store)

Dates listed above reflect when games are released on their respective stores. GeForce NOW availability may vary, as games are onboarded after release and added throughout the week. Keep an eye on GeForce NOW channels and GFN Thursdays for availability updates on announced titles.

To try GeForce NOW in Firefox, start with a GeForce NOW day pass and experience premium cloud gaming directly from the browser. If members later upgrade to a Performance or Ultimate membership, the cost of the day pass can be applied toward the first membership purchase.

I can't play my old Stalker 2 save; it says I don't have the DLCs that I actually bought.

Anyone else feel like the disabling of workshop mods is suspiciously close to the post about someone getting full access to the desktop?

Just a week ago there was an article showing someone had "broken out" of the locked down system and been able to use GFN as a desktop PC. The process specifically has the user replace an executable for a game, allowing the escape. Much like how mods replace game files...

To have mods disabled so close to that article seems suspicious.

Anyway I guess my message is this is why we can't have nice things.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Cost of Hope expansion

Does anybody knows if you can play this expansion through GeforceNow? I'm not quite sure how it works tho. Would be thankful for any info on that

*Apparently I couldn’t play the Cost of Hope expansion :( I guess it should restart the game and download it before you can play. If someone knows the solution that would be great.

*seems like they are looking to fix the issue by predownloading the expansion

The game has crashed again, each time after a few seconds.

Can I ask how to stop this stutter?

I cleared the shader cache and I'm in the main launcher I haven't gone into marvel rivals my resolution is full screen and my bit rate is the lowest I can set it to (also I'm using the browser geforce now)

u/Numerous_Gazelle_575 — 20 hours ago

Nearly every game I play is useless now

Especially on Garry's Mod and CK3 the game isn't even worth playing. What a weird choice to disable the workshop fully

Mortal Shell 2 - Offline

Bought mortal shell 2, I just started learning the American lady in the wheelchair, and now the games completely gone, 18 hours down the drain and now I gotta hope and pray steam support is technically aware enough to know why I’m asking for a refund.

I kinda just wish GeForce would wait until games are completely compatible before adding them to the library, I bought it almost instantly so that’s partly my mistake, but if I buy a product for 70$ I expect it to work?? Maybe I’m crazy for that?? Idk.

Workaround for Downloading Workshop Mods

  1. Set up family view to prevent game from starting automatically
  2. Go to Settings > Interface > Client Beta Participation, choose Steam Beta and restart the Steam client.

This is only used to restart the Steam Client, it doesn't actually download the Steam Beta as it's disabled on GeForce NOW.

  1. After steam restarts, disable and re-enable any workshop mod that you've subscribed to, this'll trigger download of all of your subscribed mods.

Now you can play your games with workshop mods again. However you need to do these steps every time you launch the game.
