GeForce NOW (GeForce NOW) updated the streaming experience for Hogwarts Legacy by integrating NVIDIA DLSS 5 with 3D-Guided Neural Rendering. This technology enhances lighting and material textures while keeping the game’s core geometry intact.

Developers at Avalanche Software configured the integration to ensure the game maintains its intended artistic style. The update also features DLSS Multi Frame Generation and Ray Reconstruction to smooth out ray-traced graphics.

Ultimate members can run the game with performance levels equivalent to a GeForce RTX 5080. This happens entirely in the cloud, so players do not need to download the game or upgrade their own hardware.

Beyond the update to Hogwarts Legacy, World of Warcraft: Forever is now available on the platform. Premium members can use CurseForge Addons to customize this reimagined version of Azeroth.

Ubisoft also expanded its offerings on the service with two new additions. Agents can now play the Echoes of Central Park expansion for Tom Clancy’s The Division 2, while governors can build in the Aegyptus region in Anno 117: Pax Romana.

These updates are part of a larger rollout that includes two dozen games arriving throughout November. The library already added several titles earlier this month, including Planet Zoo 2 and CURE – A Hospital Simulator.

GeForce NOW remains a cloud-only service that manages game installs and updates for the user. It currently supports a wide range of devices from PCs and Macs to mobile phones and TVs.

While the cloud manages rendering and updates, the visual fidelity still depends on the user's internet connection quality. The company has not specified how these neural rendering features will perform on lower-tier membership plans.
