GeForce NOW adds 10 more games this week, and we’re breaking down every single one of them — not just listing titles, but giving you the context that actually matters. From controversial remasters to promising indies and strategic surprises, here’s the full story behind this week’s drop.
STALKER: Legends of the Zone Trilogy – Enhanced Edition
The biggest addition this week is also the most controversial. The Enhanced Editions of Shadow of Chernobyl, Clear Sky, and Call of Pripyat are now live on GFN as a bundle. But reception has been rough.
Steam reviews are currently “Mostly Negative.” Players are reporting downgraded visuals, missing DLSS and DLAA support, ghosting issues, and blurry image quality. There’s also frustration over the removal of Russian voice packs and Soviet-era iconography, which some long-time fans view as essential to the series’ atmosphere. While the remaster does bring updated lighting and minor improvements, many are calling it a step backwards overall.
Game of Thrones: Kingsroad
This one dropped without any real fanfare. It’s a free-to-play RPG from Netmarble, structured like a mobile game with timers and energy systems. It might appeal to hardcore Game of Thrones fans who want something new in the universe, but it’s not a major release. More of a background addition this week.
Monster Train 2
Monster Train 2 builds on one of the best deckbuilders of the last few years. It expands the original’s structure with new factions, updated mechanics, and deeper synergy options. It’s already opted in for GFN, and it’s also confirmed for Game Pass — so this should be playable across both platforms. If you’re into Slay the Spire, Roguebook, or anything with roguelike deck mechanics, this is one to check out.
Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny
Capcom continues to roll out its older catalogue, and Onimusha 2 makes its way to GFN this week. This is a very retro-feeling action game — fixed camera angles, tank controls, early 2000s design — but it still plays well if you know what you’re getting into. The samurai setting holds up, and it’s a good time to revisit the series with rumours of a revival on the horizon.
9 Kings
9 Kings combines deckbuilding, survival, and kingdom expansion into a chaotic strategy mix. You start with a unique deck based on your chosen king, then grow your capital city, build armies, and defend against waves of rival monarchs. As you defeat other kings, you can loot their cards and mix in their playstyles. The real appeal comes from the absurd combo potential — stacking perks and modifiers until your deck becomes hilariously broken. Feels like it could be a sleeper hit for strategy fans.
RoadCraft
A full-scale construction and logistics sim where you rebuild infrastructure after natural disasters. You’ll be driving, paving, lifting, and managing everything from bulldozers to cranes across massive maps. The terrain deforms realistically as you work, and materials like sand, wood, and asphalt all react properly depending on your actions. Developed using the tech behind SnowRunner, it supports four-player co-op and features over 40 vehicles to unlock and customize. For sim fans, this is one of the more polished entries we’ve seen in a while.
Blades of Fire
This one might fly under the radar — but it shouldn’t. Blades of Fire is a tactical action-adventure with a heavy emphasis on weapon crafting and precision combat. You forge your own gear using a wide mix of materials and scrolls, then use that custom weapon in a targeted damage system where you can break enemy limbs and armour. Over 50 enemy types, new classes, and a companion who helps analyze enemy weaknesses make this feel deeper than your average hack-and-slash. One to watch.
Splitgate 2 (Beta)
Splitgate 2 enters beta with the same portal-based gunplay that made the original such a hit. It’s not a full relaunch yet — expect limited maps and modes — but it’s good to see the game coming back. The fusion of tight arena shooting and teleportation still feels sharp, and new progression systems are in place. If you liked the original, this is worth checking back in on.
Survive the Fall
A post-apocalyptic survival game with crafting, base-building, and exploration across a ruined world. It doesn’t reinvent the genre, but it does a decent job combining systems. You’ll be balancing your camp’s resources, scavenging gear, and defending against threats. Still in early access, and a little rough in spots, but not throwaway either. Could become something with the right updates.
Membership Deal: 40% Off Priority
If you’ve been holding off on upgrading, now might be the time. NVIDIA is offering 40% off a six-month Priority membership — dropping the price to $29.99.
Priority gives you longer sessions, better resolution support, and shorter queue times compared to the free tier. The offer runs until July 6, so you’ve got some time — but it’s a solid pickup if you’re starting to use the service more regularly.
June Games?
Looking ahead, June’s already shaping up with a few likely additions. Several confirmed Game Pass titles — including The Alters, FBC: Firebreak, and Lost in Random: The Eternal Die — have already opted in for GeForce NOW, making them strong day-one candidates. Rematch is also one to watch, though it’s slightly less certain as a sports title. And Against the Storm, already available on GFN via PC, will be hitting Xbox Game Pass next month too. Nothing is officially confirmed just yet, but based on patterns we’ve seen all year, these are very likely to land.
That’s the full rundown for this week’s GFN Thursday. Ten new games, a headline trilogy already stirring backlash, and a few smaller releases that could quietly build a following. Whether you’re into deckbuilders, survival games, or just checking out what’s new, this was a solid week overall — even if not everything landed smoothly.
