NVIDIA has announced that the major expansion "Path of Exile: Curse of the Allflame" is joining its cloud gaming service, GeForce NOW[1]. The lineup also brings Battlefield 6 Season 4, a set of Capcom classics, and Advanced Access for the highly anticipated "Halo: Campaign Evolved," adding a total of 9 new titles to the cloud this week. Members can jump in right away on their supported devices, without waiting for downloads.
"Path of Exile: Curse of the Allflame" Launches This Week
The headline is that the new expansion "Curse of the Allflame" for the free-to-play action RPG "Path of Exile" launches on July 24[1][2]. Players brave the perilous Frozen Seas, and guided by corsair captain Valerie and her cursed navigator Vesper, they piece together scattered treasure charts, board the legendary vessel known as The Sovereign, and set a course into the abyss[1]. On the ocean floor, players light Allflame Lanterns to secure safe zones while surviving the dangers lurking in the depths to uncover valuable relics.
The gameplay overhaul is sweeping as well[2]. The sockets and links system that forms the core of gear has been completely reworked, and the Scion gains an all-new Luminary Ascendancy that lets you permanently recruit a Mercenary as a combat ally. On top of that, the Mercenaries of Trarthus return and the mysterious Atlas Anomalies appear, while existing mechanics such as Abyss, Legion, and Talisman have been tuned into more rewarding forms.
GeForce NOW members can experience this expansion on their own devices the moment it launches[1]. Without a high-end gaming PC on hand, Ultimate members can stream at GeForce RTX 5080-class performance — a strength that becomes especially valuable when a big expansion pushes processing demands higher.
Battlefield 6 Season 4 Brings New Maps and Modes
The large-scale FPS "Battlefield 6" also adds new battlegrounds and ways to play in Season 4[1]. The new map "Tsuru Reef" and the fan-favorite "Wake Island" arrive in the second phase, both featuring aircraft carriers with operational flight decks, new naval vehicles, and a dynamic wave system that keeps matches moving. The update also adds Custom Lobbies, which let players freely configure matches, and a Spectator Mode for watching games, broadening how the title can be played.
From large-scale multiplayer to intense vehicle combat, GeForce NOW lets members join in on nearly any device[1]. Ultimate members can stream at GeForce RTX 5080-class performance across PCs, Macs, handhelds, mobile devices, and TVs, and can jump into the latest update right away without waiting for patches.
Advanced Access for "Halo: Campaign Evolved" and Capcom Classics
For the latest entry in the popular series, "Halo: Campaign Evolved," players who prepurchase the Premium Edition can enjoy Advanced Access ahead of the global launch[1]. The official global release is July 28, on Xbox Series X|S, PC (Steam), and PlayStation 5[3]. Being able to reach for it early through the cloud on GeForce NOW is welcome news for series fans.
There is plenty for nostalgia, too[1]. Three Capcom classics — the role-playing game "Breath of Fire IV" and the dinosaur survival-horror titles "Dino Crisis" and "Dino Crisis 2" — arrive on GeForce NOW. Whether revisiting old memories or discovering these legends for the first time, players can enjoy them on approachable devices like Chromebooks, smart TVs, and handhelds.
