In a significant update, 2K’s acclaimed Mafia franchise is now available on NVIDIA’s GeForce NOW streaming service. This development allows players to access these classic titles across various devices. Alongside the Mafia games, the new action RPG Towerborne also joins the GeForce NOW library, as part of nine new games added this week. Additionally, the latest Genshin Impact update is accessible on the platform.
The Mafia Collection Now Streaming
GeForce NOW subscribers can now stream several key titles from the Mafia series, offering both newcomers and returning fans a chance to experience the gritty narratives of organized crime. The available titles include:
- Mafia (Classic): The original game that introduces players to cab driver Tommy Angelo’s unwilling entry into the Salieri crime family.
- Mafia: Definitive Edition: A complete remake of the first game, featuring an expanded story and updated gameplay.
- Mafia II (Classic) and Mafia II: Definitive Edition: These titles follow Vito Scaletta’s journey as he attempts to establish himself within the criminal underworld of Empire Bay.
- Mafia III: Definitive Edition: Set in 1968 New Bordeaux, this game centers on Lincoln Clay’s quest for revenge against the Italian mafia after his surrogate family is betrayed.
Furthermore, the upcoming prequel, Mafia: The Old Country, is confirmed to be available on GeForce NOW at its launch later this year. For more details on the franchise, visit the Mafia Franchise Hub.
Towerborne Joins the Cloud Roster
Also new to GeForce NOW is Towerborne, a side-scrolling looter brawler developed by Stoic and Xbox Game Studios. Players assume the role of “Aces,” protectors of humanity’s last stronghold, the Belfry. The game features combo-driven combat, various weapon classes, and cooperative play for up to three friends, all streamable without requiring local downloads.
Analysis: Is 2K Now Taking GeForce NOW Seriously?
The inclusion of the entire Mafia franchise, a significant and respected series, along with a day-one release commitment for Mafia: The Old Country on GeForce NOW, suggests a potentially deeper engagement from 2K with the cloud gaming platform. This move could be interpreted as a sign that the publisher views GeForce NOW as an increasingly viable platform for its major titles.
While it’s a positive development for GeForce NOW users and cloud gaming in general, it remains to be seen if this signals a broader, long-term strategy from 2K regarding cloud releases. It could be a strategic move to reach a wider audience or perhaps a more measured step to gauge player interest on the platform. Only future actions and releases will fully clarify the depth of 2K’s commitment to GeForce NOW. For now, it’s a welcome expansion of the service’s offerings.

The following games are also now available to stream on GeForce NOW:
- Survival Machine (New on Steam)
- Revenge of the Savage Planet (New on Steam and Xbox, available on PC Game Pass)
- Spirit of the North 2 (New on Steam)
With these new additions, especially the classic Mafia titles and the upcoming Mafia: The Old Country, GeForce NOW users have a compelling lineup to explore.
