Summer Game Fest Main Event
Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown – Coming January 18, 2024. Amazon Luna was listed in the trailer and the game will certainly be coming to GeForce NOW as well.
Mortal Kombat 1 saw an extensive game play trailer that looked jaw dropping – with incredible looking gameplay, fighting techniques and stunningly gruesome fatalities. We think there is a good chance that we see this game in the cloud given that Mortal Kombat 11 is available on multiple cloud services.
Nicholas Cage is coming to Dead by Daylight – a game that is available on multiple cloud gaming services.
The Witcher Netflix TV Show on Netflix got a trailer for season 3 – the last with Henry Cavill. The Witcher, The Witcher 2 and The Witcher 3 are all available to play on GeForce NOW.
We got a new trailer for Lies of P, which we know to be coming to Xbox Game Pass and Xcloud. The game looks absolutely stunning. It is probably the best looking game at the showcase in our opinion so far!
Throne and Liberty is a new game from Amazon Studios that saw some play time at the show. But, unfortunately Luna logos were nowhere to be found…
Party Animals, which we know to be coming to GeForce NOW, got new gameplay footage!
The Samsung Gaming Hub had an ad spot highlighting its cloud gaming capabilities! The ad covered games from Xbox, GeForce NOW, Luna, Utomik, Antstream Arcade and Blacknut.

Black Desert Land of the Morning Light expansion, which is known as coming to both GeForce NOW and Xcloud later this month (June 14th) got a brand new trailer with stunning game play.

Devolver Digital
The quirky and fun Devolver Digital showcase was highlighted with the announcement of Human Fall Flat 2! Since Human Fall Flat is on so many cloud gaming platforms, we definitely hope the sequel arrives in the cloud as well. Why not give it the full RTX treatment on GFN?
We also got some new gameplay footage of The Talos Principle II, which recently opted into GeForce NOW on Steam.
Other Games Highlighted that are Likely to Hit the Cloud
- Wizard With a Gun (2023)
- Baby Steps (2024)
Tribeca Games Showcase
The Tribeca Games Showcase highlighted a number of special hand picked upcoming indie games. The games have unique and extraordinary art styles, impactful game play and a strong narrative. Any or all of these games could end up on the cloud:
- A Highland Song
- Goodbye Volcano High
- Chants and Sennaar (September 24)
- Nightscape
- Stray Gods: The Roleplaying Musical (August 3)
- despelote
- The Expanse – A Telltale Series
That final game will appear to fans of the TV Show and looks like Telltale at its best.
Wholesome Direct
The 2023 Wholesome Direct showcased a huge number of games. Check out the link to see them all. A couple that caught our attention were:
Quilts and Cats of Calico is a spin off of the game Calico that was on Stadia before its demise and is now on Utomik.
Frongsong – a fun looking RPG in a world of frogs and bugs
Bestieball – Sports management game … of a team of beasts??

Again, over 50 games were showcased! Here are some of the highlights
Instinction – A game that was committed to coming to Stadia before its closure. We’re still expecting it to hit the cloud.
Moving Out 2 – The sequel to Moving Out which is available on a handful of cloud gaming services.
Alaskan Road Truckers – This is a game that has opted into GFN on Steam.
SteamWorld Build – The SteamWorld games are beloved by cloud gamers. We’re expecting to see this on in the cloud.
Check out the full list of games shown off at this gamesradar roundup. Lot’s of great titles were showcased to look forward. We think a majority will end up playable in the cloud.
OTK Games Expo
Shacknews has a good summary of every game showcased at the OTK Games Expo. Nothing strikes us as cloud-centric. However, Saturnalia (a current cloud available game) was showcased – as it will be coming to Steam in the near future.
Turnip Boy Robs a Bank will be the sequel to Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion which is currently available on a handful of cloud gaming services.
Innchanted was showcased at the OTK Games Expo which has opted into GFN on Steam. It’s an Overcooked style game where you manage an Inn, with a bit of magic thrown in.
