The inclined cloud gamer probably already knows that a comprehensive review on the subject of cloud gaming by our guest author Stefan is published here every Sunday. He also brings some insider news for you and occasionally refers to articles that you may have already read with us during the course of this week. Have fun with the news for the first calendar week of the new year 2023!
stages
The last days of Google Stadia and probably the last remaining programmer has released an update of the app. Download it quickly, there are minor fixes.
Xcloud
New year, games fly out. There are:
- Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc
- Nobody saves the world
- Pupperazzi
- The Anacrusis
- Windjammer’s 2nd
But of course there will be supplies again, two real heavyweights.
The action RPG Mortal Shell: Enhanced Edition and the survival adventure Stranded Deep.
Blacknut
At Blacknut you will find the top-down shooter Blackwind new in the library.
antistream
Correction: Last week I wrote that Antstream reduced the price of the subscription to 12 €. That seems to be a limited offer though, as we’ve been told. Unfortunately, this was not communicated openly either, which is a pity. Mea culpa of course also from me to that effect.
The new games on the retro service:
- Runaway (’82 Arcade)
- Asteroids (’81 Atari 2600)
- Flag Capture (’78 Atari 2600)
The new challenges:
- Banishing Racer – Road Trip With Caveats
- Flip and Flop – Animal Antics
- Flea! – The Blood Bank
GeForce Now
The Nvidia service ignited fireworks, the competitors have to dress warmly.
- As of now, the RTX 3080 subscription is no longer available. This will be continued as an Ultimate subscription model. But the prices remain the same.
- RTX 4080-class cards complement the Super Pods and will gradually be released to Ultimate subscription users over the next few weeks.
- The RTX 3080 is still reserved for the Ultimate subscription. These GPUs do not move into the Priority subscription.
- The prices remain stable. You can continue to save with the offered gift cards. €90 for 6 months Ultimate, €50 for 3 months, €20 for one month (not worth it).
The tickets are here: https://www.nvidia.com/de-de/geforce-now/gift-cards/
- The latencies improve even more with the RTX 4080 and, according to Nvidia, are said to be on par with local hardware (Nvidia Reflex)
- 240 fps support and 120 fps 4K on PC and Mac, DLSS 3 and widescreen resolutions are supported
There are five new games available now:
- Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game Complete Edition (New on SteamJan 5)
- Carrier Command 2 (Steam)
- Project Hospital (Steam)
- Portal with RTX (Steam)
- Severed Steel (Epic Games Store)
and at least this one over the course of January:
Also, Nvidia has the titles The Day Before other Party animals mentioned as “coming soon”.
boosteroid
The only newly announced game at Boosteroid is Ready or not. I have already tested the tactical shooter on another platform and had a lot of fun.
utomy
New this week at Utomik is the science fiction visual novel Our World is Ended. Although there are other new games, these are not available in the cloud. Additionally, the CEO of the service was at CES and talked about the future of gaming.
