Every Friday, we take a look at the biggest news regarding services such as Nvidia GeForce Now, Amazon Luna, PlayStation Now, and Xbox Game Pass, among others.

New World’s cloud debut is on… GeForce Now?

In addition to its new 3080-tier announced this week, Nvidia also brought on Amazon’s New World to its cloud gaming GeForce Now service. This is the first time New World has been available for cloud gaming since its launch, but it’s ironic that Nvidia is getting the first chance given Amazon owns its own cloud gaming platform in Luna. New World is available on Steam for $39.99.

Other new games on GeForce Now this week include:

Amazon Luna adds Amnesia Rebirth and USB powered controller

One new game was added to Luna this week was Amnesia Rebirth, which is available through Luna+.
