Last week we discussed that the NVIDIA GeForce NOW hardware had officially landed in South Africa, and an internal beta was underway. In an email to NAG, rain, the network operator responsible for GeForce NOW locally confirmed we’d be looking at a June release window.
Now to recap for those who might still need to become familiar with the service. GeForce NOW is a cloud gaming service that lets gamers enjoy their favourite games regardless of any hardware restrictions that they might have.
This is achieved by streaming the games directly from a GeForce NOW-hosted server, meaning players don’t need to be able to run the games off of their hardware; they only need a good enough internet connection to stream them.
Gamers who subscribe to GeForce NOW can also stream games via the service they already own on Steam, Epic, Ubisoft, and Origin. Now, Nvidia has announced that a new games publisher has joined GeForce Now, Bandai Namco, or, more specifically, Bandai Namco Europe.
According to Nvidia, Little Nightmares, Little Nightmares II, Get Even and 11-11 Memories Retold will be the first Bandai Namco titles available on GeForce NOW. Subscribers can enjoy them from this weekend already. Subscribers to the Ultimate and Priority GeForce Now tiers will enjoy Little Nightmares II with full RTX visuals.
