NVIDIA’s GeForce NOW Welcomes Assassin’s Creed Shadows

Assassin’s Creed Shadows Now Available on NVIDIA GeForce NOW

Today marks the exciting launch of Assassin’s Creed Shadows, now readily accessible through NVIDIA’s GeForce NOW platform. This initiative allows gamers whose PCs may not meet the game’s demanding specifications to enjoy an impressive streaming experience after purchasing the title from either Steam or Ubisoft Connect.

Enhanced Gaming Experience with Ultimate Subscription

Subscribers to the Ultimate tier can further elevate their gaming with features such as ray-traced global illumination, enhanced reflections, and advanced NVIDIA technologies including DLSS Super Resolution and Frame Generation. With the underlying infrastructure powered by RTX 4080-class hardware, users can anticipate performance metrics akin to those recorded by gaming expert Francesco De Meo in his review.

Performance Highlights

In his testing, De Meo reported impressive results while playing at 4K resolution with NVIDIA DLSS Quality and Frame Generation. On his high-spec setup equipped with an i7-13700F CPU and RTX 4080 GPU, the game frequently approached 120 FPS during gameplay, though cutscenes were intentionally capped at 30 FPS for a cinematic quality. Benchmarks also reflected strong performance with averages of 117 FPS and 99%/0.1% lows at 93 FPS.
