GeForce NOW Brings World of Warcraft Addons To The Cloud
Recently, GeForce NOW has had several updates, adding more games to the list that can be played via GeForce NOW. Today, World of Warcraft add-ons are now available through a partnership with CurseForge on the cloud. Members of GeForce NOW can access 25 of the top add-ons used by World of Warcraft players, with the add-ons preinstalled for their gaming session. Those who plan on getting stuck into World of Warcraft: The War Within can gain early access to the expansion if you buy the Epic Edition of The War Within from 22 August, which fully releases on 26 August.
Ultimate and Priority members can choose which add-ons they want to enable and customize. This includes Day Pass members. From today, these add-ons are available to GeForce NOW members and won’t require a CurseForge account to install. While only 25 of the top add-ons are available at the moment, Nvidia and CurseForge are working on adding more over time.
The player’s settings and customizations are saved between each streaming session, so they do not need to be configured again between sessions. In addition, all CurseForge mods that are available will be consistently updated so that you don’t have to spend time updating for each patch.
Those who want to use the add-ons available via CurseForge can use them for the Retail version of World of Warcraft and World of Warcraft Cataclysm Classic. For those who want to know how to add the add-ons to their game using GeForce NOW, Nvidia has released a blog post explaining everything you need to do to get them to work in your game and how to enable them.
For a chance to be featured on GeForce NOW’s social media, players are asked to upload screenshots of their mod configurations with the hashtag # ModsonGFN to show off all of the CurseForge add-ons they are using.
In addition to mods now being available for World of Warcraft players by utilizing GeForce NOW, new games have also been added to GeForce NOW, with some real hits now available through the streaming service.
The following games are now available through GeForce NOW if you own them on the specific platforms listed:
- Level Zero: Extraction (Steam)
- shapez 2 (Steam)
- Car Manufacture (Steam)
- Psychonauts (Steam)
- Psychonauts (Steam, Xbox, PC Game Pass)
Additionally, this week is the last week you can get a GeForce NOW membership for either one month or six months for Ultimate and Priority at a 50% discount in GeForce NOW’s summer sale.
