Summary

S-GAME’s Phantom Blade Zero reached GeForce NOW on Oct. 29, 2026, following its Oct. 28 Steam release. Built with Unreal Engine 5, the wuxia action game gives the wounded warrior Soul 66 days to expose the conspiracy behind his master’s murder. Its kungfupunk setting combines Chinese martial arts, prosthetics, industrial ruins and rock music, with more than 30 primary weapons, over 20 Phantom Edges, evasions, deflections and counterattacks. Ultimate members receive GeForce RTX 5080-class cloud performance across PCs, Macs, handhelds, mobile devices, browsers and compatible TVs, with downloads and storage handled remotely.

Blizzard Entertainment’s World of Warcraft: Forever arrives Nov. 4 at 3 p.m. PT with expanded zones, gameplay enhancements and upgraded graphics. Eligible new WoW users without subscriptions can redeem launch access through the GeForce NOW Account Portal across all tiers until Nov. 11 at 11:59 p.m. PT, while supplies last and on a first-come, first-served basis. Mod.io support is now integrated into Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Remastered. The nine announced additions are Phantom Blade Zero; ATMOSFAR and Hunting Simulator 3 on Steam Oct. 29; Queen’s Domain on Steam Oct. 30; Steam titles Dimraeth, Dressmaker and The Seance of Blake Manor; and Epic Games Store titles Halloween and Hell Let Loose: Vietnam. Store dates may precede GeForce NOW onboarding. India gains four-month Performance and Ultimate signups Oct. 30, while day-pass spending can be applied toward a first monthly membership upgrade.
