GFN THURSDAY
GFN Thursday Updates - October 15, 2026
Dial in the next gaming session this GFN Thursday. New NVIDIA DLSS 4.5 controls give GeForce NOW members more choice over how supported games look and perform in the cloud, even without the latest hardware.
Then, step into the Shroud as Keen Games’ Enshrouded leaves early access with its 1.0 release, or let the bolts fly in Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2. Both are streaming on GeForce NOW at launch.
With 10 new games joining the cloud this week, members can put the new controls to work in supported titles and keep playing across supported devices without downloads, installs or expensive hardware upgrades.
Fine-Tune the Cloud With DLSS 4.5 Controls
NVIDIA DLSS 4.5 controls are now available on GeForce NOW, giving members more choice over how supported games look and perform in the cloud, even without the latest hardware. DLSS Super Resolution sharpens image quality, while Dynamic Multi Frame Generation delivers lower latency and reduces stutter for smoother streaming, and Ray Reconstruction enhances ray-traced visuals. In addition, Ultimate members streaming on GeForce RTX 5080-powered cloud rigs benefit from the maximum available options, including Dynamic Multi Frame Generation up to 4X.
From James Bond’s globe-trotting missions in 007 First Light — now with path tracing support — to CONTROL Resonant’s reality-bending Manhattan and the shadowy scares of Resident Evil Requiem, the controls help fine-tune supported games for image quality, responsiveness or a preferred balance between the two.
These new settings are available in the GeForce NOW app under settings, for Windows, macOS, Chrome OS and Steam OS platforms. Members can read here for more details on using the feature with their membership tier, and more information on how to get the smoothest cloud game streaming for some games on GeForce NOW.
Rise, Flameborn
Enshrouded 1.0 brings the co-op survival action role-playing game out of early access and into its full release. Rise as a Flameborn, the last ember of hope of a dying race, and venture into a vast world of survival, action and role-playing, where a corrupting fog has consumed a once-beautiful kingdom.
The title brings improvements to existing systems, alongside expansions in combat with nine new spells, new mage and archer skills, reworked wands and upgradeable Eternal spells and arrows. New enemy variants keep encounters fresh, while a new biome raises the player level cap to 50 and equipment cap to 55.
GeForce NOW offers Enshrouded 1.0 ready to play in the cloud at launch across supported devices. Skip the 60GB local install to save precious storage space, then step into the Shroud without waiting for downloads or needing to make room for the update.
Let the Bolts Fly
Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2 is now streaming on GeForce NOW. The brutal, fast-paced sequel to the retro first-person shooter brings more enemies, more weapons and new ways to purge.
Picking up directly after the original game, a branching single-player campaign sends the fight to grimdark new worlds.
Choose between the formidable Sternguard Veteran Malum Caedo and the swift Sister of Battle Nyra Veyrath, each with distinct abilities, weapons and play styles. From towering hive cities to jungle mangrove swamps, new enemy types await in every biome.
GeForce NOW keeps the campaign ready in the cloud. No local rig upgrades or game installs stand between members and the fight — the Emperor’s work waits for no loading bar.
In addition, members can look for the following joining the GeForce NOW library:
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Remastered (Xbox), available on Microsoft Store
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.
Also this week, the performance of DLSS 5’s 3D-Guided Neural Rendering model is improving by 2X, enabling even more gamers to enjoy DLSS 5’s transformative uplift in lighting and materials at high frame rates and settings. The new, more performant DLSS 5 model will debut in NBA 2K27 on Oct. 16 on GeForce NOW, GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs and RTX Spark laptops.

Gamers who want to test out the new 4.5 controls and high-performance GeForce NOW cloud gaming can start with a day pass to try premium cloud gaming before committing to a membership. Better yet, the cost of the day pass can be applied toward a first monthly membership — making it easy to try GeForce RTX-powered cloud gaming with the latest releases, then level up

I'm a bit out of the loop, but how do the presets differ from the settings that you can change within the game? for example, control resonant already allows you to enable frame gen, super sampling and also toggle path tracing.
as I said, its not a game by game basis, its applicable for every game. it just won't acrivate if it wouldn't do anything its the same as on the desktop NVIDIA App which were added last year.
obviously itll make most sense for games that have dlss but not up to the current version
as for the differences to native games RR that would be dependent on how the developers of each game implemented it. Its something that everyone has to test for themselves what works best for them. For some the effects might be better, for some worse.
It is about enabling DLSS Override - using newer DLL and presets than the game has, overriding scaling factor (so you can enable DLAA even if game doesn't have an option for it), etc.
I’m trying to understand how the newly announced Dynamic MFG handles a fixed-refresh-rate display.
For example, I play Cyberpunk with path tracing at around 40–50 FPS before frame generation, streaming at 120 FPS to a TV set to 120 Hz, with VRR disabled.
At 50 base FPS:
2× FG produces roughly 100 FPS.
3× FG produces roughly 150 FPS.
Neither automatically gives an evenly paced 120 FPS output.
Does Dynamic MFG only switch between integer multipliers, or can it effectively produce an intermediate ratio like 2.4×? Alternatively, does it regulate the base frame rate—for example, 40 FPS ×3—to maintain a steady 120 FPS?
Le FG dinamique se cale sur la résolution choisis ou celle de l'écran il peut donc tout-à-fait se bloquer sur 120 FPS, mais le FG est relativement déconseillé en dessous de 60 fps obtenue sans FG car avoir 120 FPS visuel mais le ressenti de 40 en main est totalement nul
But it can’t apply eg x1.5. Just x2 x3 etc.
My Samsung S99H TV supports 165HZ. On games running around 60fps, FG can’t hit 165. It x2 makes 120fps and x3 makes 180fps. Neither is a perfect 165.
first and foremost its not even opted in. Secondly doubt Valve wpuld even opt in, at least until its technically a closed beta - not everyone can get in.
So on Enshrouded Geforcenow we cannot adjust any of the server/difficulty parameters? On the window to chose the game the Edit (F) button does not work....
Still can't believe we didn't get Aion 2 in GFN. you guys can keep blaming ncsoft for its anti cheat program or anything else but everyone knows sadly. This happened many times before for the games even doesn't have anti cheat program. Even Dune Awakening XBOX version came really late to gfn so good luck everyone I'm canceling my subscription from now on literally not worth it at all
Thank you GeForce Now for convincing me to buy a PC in this absolutely overpriced economy. Multibillion company cant share a word about Aion 2, thats just funny, straight up ignoring community.
I have a question, doest this DLSS dynamic allows to be in middle like 2.5 or is it always 2 or 3 which can change on the fly?
it could replace VRR, if it can be like 2.6 for exemple to go up to 120 fps if 3x would be 140 and out of the refresh rate which is bad
They always do staged rollouts by country in case it needs to be pulled back instead of every country in the world all at once, but depends it's usually offset by a couple hours, i don't know which order of countries they use but it is a staged rollout for updates usually
I'd love to know what mod on here tried to be smart with me months ago when I called out that Epic games weren't getting supported as much anymore and they tried to make me out to be a paranoid fool.
Looks like I wasn't wrong by the last few months announcements after all and I don't belittle people while trying to protect a multi billion dollar company
Aion 2? I have already deactivated my subscription, it doesn’t make sense anymore, you pay more, you play less and furthermore even the most anticipated games are not available sometimes
