NVIDIA announced that its cloud streaming platform GeForce NOW was updated with 11 PC games this week. The highlights are undoubtedly Hunt: Showdown 1896 and Forever Skies.
The former is Crytek's popular horror-themed extraction shooter. Originally released in 2019, it was re-launched in August 2024 with several updates to the CryEngine version. The game now supports NVIDIA DLSS Super Resolution (available via GeForce NOW if you have a premium subscription, DirectX 12, HDR displays, multi-bounce global illumination, and more. Earlier this year, Crytek laid off a substantial (15%) portion of its workforce. Development of a new Crysis game was put on hold, but Hunt: Showdown 1896 continues to be regularly updated due to its healthy player base. A new DLC called Last of the Herd is due to be released soon, adding the Plains Warden playable character and a new Hunting Bow, the Herd Thinner.
As for Forever Skies, Far From Home's first-person sci-fi survival game finally launched version 1.0 after nearly two full years of early access. Update 1.0 added the final chapter of the game's story, new points of interest and biomes to explore, new colossal creatures, new collections (artifacts and murals) and cosmetic rewards, new tools, resources, and crafting recipes, various quality of live improvements, and improved performance including NVIDIA DLSS Frame Generation (available on GeForce NOW for Ultimate tier subscribers).
