If your PC is one dropped frame away from early retirement, you’re probably wondering if Assassin’s Creed Shadows can be streamed instead of fried. Good news: yes, it can. Assassin’s Creed Shadows will be playable on GeForce NOW starting launch day, March 20, 2025.
You’ll need to own the game on Steam or Ubisoft Connect, but once you do, GeForce NOW has your back—and your CPU can finally relax.
When Can You Play It?
Day one. No waiting. Ubisoft and NVIDIA confirmed that Shadows will launch on GeForce NOW the same day as it hits PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. Not on Game Pass though—don’t get your hopes up there.
How Does GeForce NOW Work?
It’s cloud streaming. You play the game on NVIDIA’s hardware, not yours, and the video is streamed to your screen like magic (or more accurately, the internet). GeForce NOW offers three tiers:
Free tier: It’s free, but expect long wait times, ads, and one-hour play sessions. Also, the graphics won’t blow your socks off.
Performance tier: About ten bucks a month. Shorter wait times, 6-hour sessions, better graphics (1440p), and RTX lighting effects. Basically, the “good enough” tier.
Ultimate tier: Double the price, double the power. 8-hour sessions, 4K HDR, smoother gameplay, and all the fancy features like DLSS 3 and 240 FPS. For folks who want cloud gaming to feel like rocket science.
If you’re looking for balance, Performance tier is the sweet spot. Enough time to explore feudal Japan without getting kicked mid-battle, and your game won’t look like it was filmed through a potato.
Final Blurb
If your PC is allergic to new games, GeForce NOW is your ticket into Assassin’s Creed Shadows without needing to build a new rig. Just stream it, stab some samurai, and let NVIDIA’s servers do the heavy lifting. Your hardware (and electric bill) will thank you.
