From heart-pounding action games to remastered classics, there’s something for everyone this GFN Thursday.
Six new titles join the cloud this week, starting with The Thing: Remastered. Face the horrors of the Antarctic as the game oozes onto GeForce NOW. Nightdive Studios’ revival of the cult-classic 2002 survival-horror game came to the cloud as a surprise at the PC Gaming Show last week. Since then, GeForce NOW members have been able to experience all the bone-chilling action in the sequel to the title based on Universal Pictures’ genre-defining 1982 film.
And don’t miss out on the limited-time GeForce NOW holiday sale, which offers 50% off the first month of a new Ultimate or Performance membership. The 25% off Day Pass sale ends today — take advantage of the offer to experience 24 hours of cloud gaming with all the benefits of Ultimate or Performance membership.
It’s Alive!
The Thing: Remastered brings the 2002 third-person shooter into the modern era with stunning visual upgrades, including improved character models, textures and animations, all meticulously crafted to enhance the game’s already-tense atmosphere.
Playing as Captain J.F. Blake, leader of a U.S. governmental rescue team, navigate the blood-curdling aftermath of the events depicted in the original film. Trust is a precious commodity as members command their squad through 11 terrifying levels, never knowing who might harbor the alien within. The remaster introduces enhanced lighting and atmospheric effects that make the desolate research facility more immersive and frightening than ever.
With an Ultimate or Performance membership, stream this blood-curdling experience in all its remastered glory without the need for high-end hardware. GeForce NOW streams from powerful GeForce RTX-powered servers in the cloud, rendering every shadow, every flicker of doubt in teammates’ eyes and every grotesque transformation with crystal-clear fidelity.
The Performance tier now offers up to 1440p resolution, allowing members to immerse themselves in the game’s oppressive atmosphere with even greater clarity. Ultimate members can experience the paranoia-inducing gameplay at up to 4K resolution and 120 frames per second, making every heart-pounding moment feel more real than ever.
