With Nvidia GeForce NOW you can now play Phantom Blade Zero and Cyberpunk 2077 with mods. With this new update, GeForce NOW has addressed a significant obstacle for cloud gamers looking to personalize their gameplay. This eliminates any concerns about conflicts during local installation or issues with file management. This new feature offers a convenient way to mod games within the cloud gaming service.
Cloud gamers can now personalize gameplay without local file conflicts
This modding feature is specifically offered for certain high-profile titles. The first games that are supported with mods are Phantom Blade Zero and Cyberpunk 2077. Nvidia incorporates mod files directly into the cloud gaming experience. Users can utilize mods for these games through the regular GeForce NOW interface.
Mod support for these games opens up more content options without needing extra hardware. GeForce NOW manages the process of loading mods on its servers. This ensures that modded game versions are optimized to play on remote systems. This feature provides the ease of cloud gaming with more content.
Earlier we reported on NVIDIA GeForce Game Ready Driver 621.01. This driver update included optimizations for games like Call of Duty and Phantom Blade Zero for local play. These optimizations were centered on performance improvements for these games.
Now with mod support, it offers more content variety to go along with the previous driver optimizations. GeForce NOW continues to improve the list of compatible games.
Nvidia has confirmed that mod support is now available for the specified games. Users can immediately begin using mods in their cloud gaming sessions. This is a step forward in providing more personalization options in cloud gaming. GeForce NOW is dedicated to broadening the software compatibility on their platform.
This is a server side injection, not native Proton compatibility. The anti cheat for Cyberpunk might still block some mod loaders that hook the renderer.
finally no more local file conflicts 🤔
Phantom Blade Zero on cloud feels like a waste of a subscription unless the latency is under 20ms
Does this apply to the Phantom Blade Zero mod support mentioned in the driver 621.01 optimizations? Or is this a separate implementation path for the game?
The article links the driver update to performance optimization for local play. The mod feature is a new GeForce NOW platform layer, so they are distinct tracks. One fixes frames, the other adds content.
id say this is huge for people with potato pcs. no more bricking installations just to try out a texture pack
Mods on cloud gaming introduces variable load times. I want to see independent benchmarks on how these injected files affect server response latency during heavy combat scenes.
Another update to my client. Great. Just what I needed.
Im waiting for the day they let me mod my subscription fee down to zero
