Controller Master


Great things come in twos. Techland’s Dying Light 2 Stay Human arrives with RTX ON and is streaming from the cloud tomorrow, Feb. 4.

Plus, in celebration of the second anniversary of GeForce NOW, February is packed full of membership rewards in Eternal Return, World of Warships and more. There are also 30 games joining the GeForce NOW library this month, with four streaming this week.

Take a Bite Out of Dying Light 2

It’s the end of the world. Get ready for Techland’s Dying Light 2 Stay Human, releasing on Feb. 4 on GeForce NOW with RTX ON.

Civilization has fallen to the virus, and The City, one of the last large human sanctuaries, is torn by conflict in a world ravaged by the infected dead. You are a wanderer with the power to determine the fate of The City in your search to learn the truth.

Struggle to survive by using clever thinking, daring parkour, resourceful traps and creative weapons to make helpful allies and overcome enemies with brutal combat. Discover the secrets of a world thrown into darkness and make decisions that determine your destiny. There’s one thing you can never forget — stay human.

We’ve teamed up with Techland to bring real-time ray tracing to Dying Light 2 Stay Human, delivering the highest level of realistic lighting and depth into every scene of the new game.

Hold on to your humanity and charge into ‘Dying Light 2’ with RTX ON.

Dying Light 2 Stay Human features a dynamic day-night cycle that is enhanced with the power of ray tracing, including fully ray-traced lighting throughout. Ray-traced global illumination, reflections and shadows bring the world to life with significantly better diffused lighting and improved shadows, as well as more accurate and crisp reflections.

“We’ve been working with NVIDIA to expand the world of Dying Light 2 with ray-tracing technology so that players can experience our newest game with unprecedented image quality and more immersion than ever,” said Tomasz Sza?kowski, rendering director at Techland. “Now, gamers can play Dying Light 2 Stay Human streaming on GeForce NOW to enjoy our game in the best way possible and exactly as intended with the RTX 3080 membership, even when playing on underpowered devices.”

Enter the dark ages and stream Dying Light 2 Stay Human from both Steam and Epic Games Store on GeForce NOW at launch tomorrow.

Celebrating the Second Anniversary of GeForce NOW
Thanks for two years of great gaming on the cloud!

Thanks to the cloud, this past year, over 15 million members around the world have streamed nearly 180 million hours of their favorite games like Apex Legends, Rust and more from the ever-growing GeForce NOW library.

Members have played with the power of the new six-month RTX 3080 memberships, delivering cinematic graphics with RTX ON in supported games like Cyberpunk 2077 and Control. They’ve also experienced gaming with ultra-low latency and maximized eight-hour session lengths across their devices.
