GeForce NOW in September: NBA 2K27 with DLSS 5 and Many New Titles for All Tastes

The month of September brings a wave of new features for gaming enthusiasts on GeForce NOW, NVIDIA's cloud gaming service. With a whopping 28 new games arriving, all eyes are on a prominent title: NBA 2K27, which introduces NVIDIA DLSS 5 technology with 3D-Guided Neural Rendering. But it's not the only protagonist: between dark fantasy adventures and the return of classics, there's much to explore.

What Really Changes with DLSS 5 in NBA 2K27?

For us at bisp&d, who have always followed technological evolution in the gaming world, the introduction of DLSS 5 in NBA 2K27 represents a significant step forward. Thanks to the close collaboration between NVIDIA, Visual Concepts, and 2K, this new iteration of DLSS promises to elevate visual realism to a higher level. It's not just about an increase in frame rate, but a substantial improvement in the rendering of lights and materials.

• Lighting and Details: DLSS 5, with its 3D-Guided Neural Rendering functionality, has been optimized to make the action on the court even more faithful to reality. This translates into more natural lighting that captures details on athletes' skin and hair, and greater precision in facial geometry, preserving the authenticity of real faces.
• Immersive Gaming Experience: For players, this means a more engaging visual experience, almost like watching a real sports broadcast. The details on the court, the uniforms, the interaction of light with the environment: everything contributes to making the game more credible and satisfying.
• Cloud Accessibility: GeForce NOW Ultimate members can enjoy NBA 2K27 with DLSS 5 on a wide range of devices, from PCs to Macs, from mobile devices to TVs, without the need to download the game or manage storage space. The power of a GeForce RTX 5080 in the cloud makes this high-fidelity experience possible.

Who Is This For and Why?

This wave of new features appeals to different categories of players:

• Sports Enthusiasts: Anyone who loves sports games, especially basketball, will find in NBA 2K27 with DLSS 5 an extra reason to immerse themselves in the action. The enhanced visual realism makes the experience even closer to reality.
• Cloud Gamers: GeForce NOW users, especially Ultimate members, will directly benefit from these improvements, being able to access latest-generation titles with high performance without investing in expensive hardware.
• Fantasy and Action Lovers: The arrival of titles like The Blood of Dawnwalker by Rebel Wolves and Onimusha: Way of the Sword by Capcom offers new adventures for those seeking dark worlds, strategic combat, and engaging narratives.

Beyond Basketball: New Adventures on GeForce NOW

September isn't just NBA 2K27. The GeForce NOW catalog is enriched with other notable titles:

• The Blood of Dawnwalker: A dark fantasy open-world action RPG that plunges players into 14th-century Europe. The peculiarity lies in the protagonist, Coen's, transformation between human by day and vampire by night, influencing abilities and choices.
• Onimusha: Way of the Sword: The return of the famous Capcom series, which takes players to an Edo period Kyoto infested by Genma. A solitary samurai, armed with the mystical Oni Gauntlet, must master the art of the sword and absorb enemy souls.

2. Internet Connection: Cloud gaming requires a stable and fast connection. Check your broadband to avoid lag or interruptions.
3. Device Compatibility: Although GeForce NOW supports many devices, check that yours is among the compatible ones for an optimal experience.
4. Game Ownership: Remember that GeForce NOW allows you to play titles you already own on supported platforms (Steam, Epic Games Store, Xbox, GOG, EA app). Make sure you have purchased the desired game.

bisp&d's Conclusions

The ability to play AAA titles with latest-generation graphics on almost any device, without downloads or installations, is a huge advantage. September promises to be a month full of opportunities to explore new worlds and enjoy high-quality gaming experiences, both for sports enthusiasts and adventure and fantasy lovers.
