Hogwarts Legacy adds DLSS 5 features
The upgrade is available today for Hogwarts Legacy, which streams from Steam, Epic Games and Xbox with Play Anywhere support. NVIDIA says DLSS 5 adds lifelike lighting and material detail while retaining the game's underlying geometry and textures.
Avalanche Software used DLSS 5 developer controls to maintain Hogwarts Legacy's artistic intent and style. The game also supports DLSS Multi Frame Generation and Ray Reconstruction, features designed to accelerate and enhance its ray-traced graphics.
GeForce NOW's DLSS 4.5 controls let members fine-tune their experience. NVIDIA says Ultimate members can use GeForce RTX 5080-class performance across PCs, Macs, handhelds, browsers, mobile devices, compatible TVs and other supported devices, without a PC upgrade or game downloads. The service handles installations and updates in the cloud.
World of Warcraft: Forever opens a new chapter
Blizzard Entertainment's World of Warcraft: Forever launched Wednesday, Nov. 4, and is streaming on GeForce NOW. The game presents a reimagined original Azeroth with new and expanded zones, gameplay enhancements and upgraded graphics.
Access requires an active World of Warcraft subscription or Game Time. GeForce NOW also supports CurseForge Addons for World of Warcraft: Forever for premium members. NVIDIA says the service plans to support around 100 popular add-ons at launch, with the selection evolving based on player favorites.
New World of Warcraft users without a subscription can claim a launch-week access reward across all GeForce NOW membership tiers. The access period runs through Wednesday, Nov. 11, at 11:59 p.m. PT. Eligible members must redeem it through the GeForce NOW Account Portal while supplies last, on a first-come, first-served basis.
Two Ubisoft expansions join the cloud
Tom Clancy's The Division 2: Echoes of Central Park adds Central Park and the Upper West Side, areas NVIDIA describes as available in the franchise for the first time. The expansion includes investigations into disappearances and a mysterious threat, three companions with distinct combat roles, new gear and six skill variants. It can be played solo or in co-op, with a level boost for agents below level 40.
Anno 117: Pax Romana, Dawn of the Delta arrives today. It sends players to Aegyptus, where deserts, farmland and seasonal floods influence city building. Players can develop irrigation systems and choose whether to Romanize the population or preserve local traditions.
Eight games join GeForce NOW this week: World of Warcraft: Forever, County of Fortune, CURE, A Hospital Simulator, Leaf it Alone, Planet Zoo 2, Probably Stolen, Cyberpunk Shopkeeper Sim, RuneScape: Dragonwilds and SpiritVale. NVIDIA says two-dozen games are joining the library throughout November, with availability varying as titles are onboarded after their store releases.
