WoW Now Available on Geforce NOW

In this week’s Geforce NOW Thursday blog, Nvidia has announced that World of Warcraft has come to their cloud-gaming service Geforce NOW, inviting players to dive into the immersive realms of World of Warcraft in the 3 supported versions (Dragonflight, Classic: Season of Discovery, and Classic: Cataclysm).

If you’re looking to adventure across Azeroth no matter what your current gaming setup looks like or while mobile, then consider Geforce NOW. Jump in for a quick dungeon run with friends or an all-night raiding session without worrying about sizable downloads or PC performance.

According to release support article, Addons are not currently supported when playing WoW on Geforce NOW so players will have to play the game ‘au naturel’ with the base UI, but it is being investigated for future updates.

Players can utilize a gamepad when playing WoW in Geforce NOW, but must enable the command in chat – “/Console GamePadEnable 1”.

Accounts and Subscriptions

Note that to play WoW on GeForce Now, you still need to have a Battle.net account. The platform is just a way to play the game without having it downloaded on your computer. WoW expansions and subscriptions are not included with GeForce Now.
