GeForce NOW brings 24 new games for members this month. Ninja Theory's highly anticipated Senua's Saga: Hellblade II will be coming to the cloud soon - get ready by streaming the first in the series, Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice, part of the seven new games joining the GeForce NOW library this week. Plus, game across more devices than ever as GeForce NOW adds improved support on Steam Deck this GFN Thursday.

Journey into Viking Hell
Experience exceptional storytelling in Ninja Theory's award-winning game Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice, available to stream from the cloud this week. Set in a dark fantasy world inspired by Norse mythology and Celtic culture, the game follows the journey of Senua, a Pict warrior. Her quest is to reach Helheim, the realm of the dead, to rescue her deceased lover's soul from the goddess Hela. Solve intricate puzzles with observation, engage in melee combat and get pulled deep into Senua's mind as she grapples with inner demons. Journey through the hauntingly beautiful landscapes of Helheim with ray tracing and high-dynamic range using an Ultimate or Priority membership for the most immersive and stunning visual fidelity.



Decked Out
Thanks to GeForce NOW, nearly any device can perform like a GeForce-powered PC gaming rig. Members who want to stream their favorite PC games to Valve's Steam Deck now have an easier way to get started.

Members can use a new beta installation method to automatically configure GeForce NOW's browser in Steam Deck's Gaming Mode. The installation script automatically installs Google Chrome to the device, then adds all the settings needed to help members log into GeForce NOW and stream their favorite games.

The latest GeForce NOW update, released last week, also allows members to navigate GeForce NOW on a browser using a gamepad, including on the Steam Deck. That means it's even easier to find and play supported titles with NVIDIA DLSS technology or real-time ray tracing, regardless of the handheld's system specs.

Plus, members can easily play non-Steam games on the Steam Deck thanks to the cloud. This includes games from Battle.net, Epic Games Store, Ubisoft Connect, GOG.com and Xbox, as well as supported PC Game Pass titles. No more worrying about downloads or backend configurations. And with more than 1,900 games supported, there's always something new to stream.

Steam Deck is just one of many popular handheld PC devices with support for GeForce NOW. Others include ASUS ROG Ally, Logitech G Cloud, Lenovo Legion Go, MSI Claw and Razer Edge. Get started now. Learn more about how to configure GeForce NOW on Steam Deck.

Riot Games has rolled out the League of Legends 14.9 update globally, which adds the Vanguard security software to the game. Since Vanguard doesn't support virtual machines like GeForce NOW, the game is under maintenance and no longer playable on the cloud gaming platform for the foreseeable future. Work is underway to find a solution for GeForce NOW members.

Lightyear Frontier (Xbox) didn't make it in April due to technical issues. Stay tuned to GFN Thursday for updates.

You've got a Steam Deck that plays just about everything natively. Or an Ally, or Legion Go, or whatever.

You've paid a premium to have native hardware in a portable form-factor with all the benefits it brings - offline gaming, lag-free, without having to pay a subscription or queue to rent remote hardware in the cloud.

The Claw... :D
No, I was only listing stuff that "plays just about anything natively".

Until MSI can fix the Claw's software mess and get 1% FPS framerates above single-digits, I'm not adding it to that list :D

Yep I would buy a Deck over this cloud nonsense. Wish there was a way to hide these 'news articles' about GFN...
