Is Stalker 2 on GeForce NOW? Answered

With Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl out of the gates after years in development and many trials and tribulations, players can finally get their hands on the sequel to the cult trilogy. The game requires a beefy machine to run on PC, along with a hefty size of around 150 GB. With all that, GeForce NOW is a good solution for players who can’t quite match the criteria. But can you play the game on Nvidia’s service? We’re here to answer that.

Can you play Stalker 2 with GeForce NOW?

The answer is short and sweet yes, you definitely can. Stalker 2 is available on GeForce NOW from day one. Moreover, you can play the game practically for free if you have an Xbox Game Pass subscription. Technically, you have to pay for the sub to both services, but that’s beside the point. And if you purchase the game through any other platform, like Steam, Epic, or GOG, you can still play the game by using GeForce NOW to power your exploration of the Zone. 

What are the benefits of playing Stalker 2 with GeForce NOW? 

GeForce NOW is a cloud service that takes care of the hardware needs of any game you want to play. Essentially, you will be streaming Stalker 2 onto your PC, using Nvidia’s hardware and storage. So no matter how old your rig is, as long as you have a stable internet connection, you can play Stalker 2 on the highest settings, without having to worry. This service has a free option that gives you only the basic rig and one-hour sessions to get a taste, but Performance and Ultimate memberships will net you much better performance and session times, at a price of course. These memberships cost $10.99 and $21.99 per month respectively. There are also options for a daily pass, as well as 6-month memberships available.
