Dragon's Dogma 2 Comes to NVIDIA GeForce NOW

[GFreeman]

Arise for a new adventure with Dragon's Dogma 2, leading two new titles joining the GeForce NOW library this week. Dragon's Dogma 2, the long-awaited sequel to Capcom's legendary action role-playing game, streams this week on GeForce NOW.

The game challenges players to choose their own experience, including their Arisen's appearance, vocation, party, approaches to different situations and more. Wield swords, bows and magick across an immersive fantasy world full of life and battle. But players won't be alone. Recruit Pawns - mysterious otherworldly beings - to aid in battle and work with other players' Pawns to fight the diverse monsters inhabiting the ever-changing lands. Upgrade to a GeForce NOW Ultimate membership to stream Dragon's Dogma 2 from NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 servers in the cloud for the highest performance, even on low-powered devices. Ultimate members also get exclusive access to servers to get right into gaming without waiting for any downloads.



New Games, New Challenges
Battlefield 2042: Season 7 Turning Point is here. Do whatever it takes to battle for Earth's most valuable resource - water - in a Chilean desert. Deploy on a new map, Haven, focused on suburban combat, and revisit a fan-favorite front: Stadium. Gear up with new hardware like the SCZ-3 SMG or the Predator SRAW, and jump into a battle for ultimate power.

Then, look forward to the following list of games this week:

• Alone in the Dark (New release on Steam, March 20)
• Dragon's Dogma 2 (New release on Steam, March 21)

I never thought of this before. So, if I were to buy Dragon's Dogma 2, and pay for a subscription on NOW, would it let me play the game at say 120 fps 1080p with just my APU desktop in my system specs?

Yup. That's the entire design of GFN - playing games on a computer (or tv, or tablet) without a GPU. Xbox GamePass Ultimate offers the same but with games you don't need to buy.

It just never occurred to me, since I always had a rig.

Honestly, I think I am going to give this a go, with some games I already own first to see how it goes. Cheap option to get my by for awhile anyway.

It would even let you play at 4k@120fps and with RTX on (where available), but you'd need a hefty Internet connection to deliver that smoothly.

But at $200/year a pop, I guess you have to take a number, there may be billions of subscribers in line for the service already

I don't own 4k device, so that's not an issue.

My internet is very fast as well 1 gig down, so won't be an issue. This might work out very well for me, I tried Sony's version of Playstation Now or w.e it was called like in 2019 or 2018, it was pretty horrible experience, latency ruined it. So it will be interesting to see if that's an issue here too or not. If not, this will hold me over for awhile.

I imagine it's not a matter of maximum bandwidth, but of how much of that can actually be sustained. ISP are selling "up to", what that translates to in practice can vary wildly.
As for latency, that will always be the Achille's heel for fast paced games. We don't know just how paced DD2 is.

That bufferbloat benchmark can reveal what you may expect of your connection latency wise.
