A warped Manhattan is waiting in the cloud this week. Remedy Entertainment’s CONTROL Resonant arrives on GeForce NOW on day one, bringing Dylan Faden’s extraordinary abilities and a paranatural crisis with it. On top of that, the final days of the CONTROL Resonant Ultimate Membership Bundle are here, NVIDIA is teasing support for a brand-new laptop category called Googlebooks, and nine more games join the library.
Take CONTROL on the cloud
In CONTROL Resonant you explore a warped Manhattan on the brink of paranatural annihilation. You use Dylan Faden’s extraordinary abilities to fight the Hiss, the Mold and other reality-bending threats while searching for his sister – Federal Bureau of CONTROL Director Jesse Faden.
Dylan has to master both his new powers and the ever-changing forms of the Aberrant, his paranatural melee weapon, to face a cosmic threat that has escaped the Oldest House and swept through the city.
Ultimate members can stream the next chapter of the CONTROL franchise with GeForce RTX 5080-class performance in the cloud, including NVIDIA DLSS 4, ray tracing, NVIDIA Reflex and Cinematic Quality Streaming, with up to 5K HDR on supported devices. You skip the 100GB local install and expensive PC upgrades and step straight into the chaos. If you’re still weighing which tier makes sense for you, we have a breakdown of plans and pricing.
The clock is ticking on the bonus: buy a 12-month Ultimate membership through Sunday, Sept. 27, and you get CONTROL Resonant at no additional cost. The offer runs through the GeForce NOW membership page.
Cloud gaming meets Googlebooks
GeForce NOW support is coming soon to Googlebooks – Google’s new category of laptops and the first designed for Gemini Intelligence. The Googlebook is built from premium materials for powerful performance. Secure by design, its Titan C chip and multigrade protection keep viruses out and hackers away. It also lets you jump from phone to laptop without skipping a beat and access files and apps from your phone directly on the laptop.
As Googlebooks start rolling out this fall, GeForce NOW support will bring the cloud gaming library to the new laptop category, so you can stream the latest PC games with GeForce RTX-powered performance and no local installs. More availability details are coming later this year through the GeForce NOW social channels. If the whole concept is new to you, start with our explainer on what GeForce NOW is.
Awaken the Dragon Sword
A dragon has awakened after 60 years and the legacy of six heroes waits to be uncovered. Hound13’s DragonSword: Awakening takes you to the radiant, anime-style continent of Orbis, where Lute’s journey to become the hero known as the Dragon Sword begins. You explore meadows, secret cellars, deep seas, caves and dungeons alongside trusted allies and collectible Familiars.
You build a team from 19 heroes, stack Status Ailments with Active Skills and chain Signal Skills into spectacular tag-team combos. Each character carries a story of their own to uncover along the way. The journey works across supported devices, including Steam Decks, Firefox browsers and Amazon Fire TV devices.
