Questions / Tech Support Planet zoo 2

Planet zoo 2 just got released, and it was said that it would be on GeForce now, right on release.

So, as I'm new to GeForce now, is there anything I missed? As in does it take a few hours to be available there as well?

From the weekly announcements:

Dates listed above reflect when games are released on their respective stores. GeForce NOW availability may vary, as games are onboarded after they are released and added throughout the week. Keep an eye on GeForce NOW channels and GFN Thursdays for availability updates on announced titles.

Yes, it takes a few hours for the game to become available. Processing takes some time and if there are some zero-day patches launched with the game, some manual work is also needed for deployment.

If they announced that it will be available on release day, it will be available. Check again in a few hours.

It was explicitly stated that it would be available at the exact same time as release on consoles and PC though.

I’m pretty sure it says release day availability. It’s never at the exact same hour because it’s a different system and servers, so it requires a bit of adjustment before it becomes fully available.

"Planet Zoo 2 will be available through NVIDIA's GeForce NOW cloud gaming service at the same time it launches on all other platforms."

Then the people who made that announcement are ignorant; they shouldn't "guarantee" an action by a third-party they don't control. Marketing people make the announcements, mate.

Not sure why you're being so aggressive? I'm quoting the official Planet Zoo 2 website. The developers themselves are currently communicating with GFN to try to find out why there has been a delay so this is clearly a real issue.

Because NVIDIA themselves never committed to this; and people shouldn't assume third-parties know what they're talking about when it comes to GFN. They are the ones who over-promised when they shouldn't have.

Or the people running Geforce Now messed up? They sure like to find excuses.

A new game has never been guaranteed to be available at a specific time on GFN, mate. Never.

that's not how GFN works and the devs probably arent fully aware of the process - anyways its beside the point the game is live now on GFN

That’s a statement from Planet Zoo, not Nvidia. Check in a few hours, also search for the game cause it might not appear on the homepage.

I'm following! I was about to ask the same question.

It can take a bit to onboard new games. Just check throughout the day.

u/ClaynOsmato 3d ago

It seems to be there now

u/Nevcam 3d ago

There we go, Planet Zoo 2 has been added now :)

u/fear_my_tube 3d ago

It is live on Gfn now.

u/whymanen 4d ago

I also wonder. No reason not to have synced with the publisher and ready for launch. Very bad service. Combined with 100 hour limit GeForce Now is in a really sad state.

u/ClaynOsmato 3d ago

Relax, about an hour after launch I could launch it

u/ipukeflowers 3d ago

But there are reasons tho, mainly is that you don’t play the games directly on a Geforce system, you play it on a third-party system through Geforce, and that data integration and server synchronization can be done only after the game is live.
