By Sagar V. Mankar GeForce NOW, NVIDIA’s popular cloud gaming service, celebrates its 4th anniversary this February with some exciting new game additions.
Most notably, subscribers can now play Blizzard’s highly anticipated titles Diablo IV and Overwatch 2 on GeForce NOW, marking the second and third Activision Blizzard games on the service after Call of Duty.
However, these games from Activision Blizzard can only be played on Steam, not Battle.net, as GeForce NOW still doesn’t support Blizzard’s PC launcher.
Still, being able to stream Blizzard’s newest blockbuster games like Diablo IV in the cloud is big news for GeForce NOW users.
In addition to the Blizzard titles, several other games join the GeForce NOW library today:
- RAGE
- RAGE 2
- Bang-On Balls: Chronicles
Japanese developer Spike Chunsoft also confirmed that their games will remain available on GeForce NOW for the foreseeable future, great news for JRPG fans of the studio’s titles.
