Hogwarts Legacy Gets DLSS 5 on GeForce NOW, and World of Warcraft: Forever Streams With Add-ons
Hogwarts Legacy gets DLSS 5 neural rendering on GeForce NOW, WoW: Forever streams with about 100 CurseForge add-ons, and eight games join this week.
Hogwarts Legacy got an NVIDIA DLSS 5 upgrade on Thursday 5 November, and GeForce NOW members can stream it with the new feature from today. It leads this week's update to NVIDIA's cloud gaming service, alongside World of Warcraft: Forever, which is now streaming with support for CurseForge add-ons, two Ubisoft expansions and eight new games.
Hogwarts Legacy with DLSS 5
DLSS 5 arrives in Hogwarts Legacy with what NVIDIA calls 3D-Guided Neural Rendering. According to NVIDIA, it adds more lifelike lighting and material detail while keeping the game's underlying geometry and textures, and developer Avalanche Software tuned it with DLSS 5's developer controls to keep the game's art style intact.
The game also supports DLSS Multi Frame Generation and Ray Reconstruction. On GeForce NOW, you can stream it from Steam, the Epic Games Store or Xbox, with Xbox Play Anywhere support, and Ultimate members get GeForce RTX 5080-class performance on PCs, Macs, handhelds, browsers, phones and compatible TVs. NVIDIA recommends an Ultimate day pass if you want to try the full DLSS 5 version without a membership.
World of Warcraft: Forever, now with add-ons
World of Warcraft: Forever launched on Wednesday 4 November and is now streaming on GeForce NOW. The service also supports CurseForge add-ons for it: premium members get around 100 of the most popular add-ons at launch, and NVIDIA says the list will change to reflect what players use. You can request others through the in-app feedback.
NVIDIA's launch-week access reward is also on offer: new WoW players without a subscription can redeem it in the GeForce NOW Account Portal on any membership tier, while supplies last, and the access runs until 11:59pm PT on Wednesday 11 November.

Two Ubisoft expansions
- Tom Clancy's The Division 2: Echoes of Central Park, out earlier this week, opens Central Park and the Upper West Side for the first time in the series. NVIDIA calls it the biggest expansion since Warlords of New York. You team up with three companions with distinct combat roles, solo or in co-op, and there's a level boost for agents below level 40.
- Anno 117: Pax Romana, Dawn of the Delta, out today, adds the province of Aegyptus, with deserts, farmland and seasonal floods. You can play it in an existing save or start a new game there.
The eight games joining this week
- World of Warcraft: Forever (Battle.net, released 4 November)
- County of Fortune (Steam, released 5 November)
- CURE: A Hospital Simulator (Steam)
- Leaf it Alone (Steam)
- Planet Zoo 2 (Epic Games Store)
- Probably Stolen: Cyberpunk Shopkeeper Sim (Steam)
- RuneScape: Dragonwilds (Epic Games Store)
- SpiritVale (Steam)
Coming later in November
NVIDIA has lined up another 16 games for the rest of the month, including Cyberpunk 2077 on Battle.net and Xbox from 10 November, Warhammer Survivors (Steam and Xbox, on Game Pass) on 10 November, and Baldur's Gate 3 on Xbox. Games arrive on GeForce NOW after their store release, so each one can appear at any point in its week.
NVIDIA also added 16 games in October on top of the 25 it had announced, including Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, Crimson Desert on the Epic Games Store and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Remastered on Xbox.
NVIDIA has since announced that Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War IV is coming to GeForce NOW, and DLSS 5 to War Thunder and Where Winds Meet.
