NVIDIA has added the Rivage Demo to GeForce NOW, letting subscribers stream the PC demo without installing it locally. (nvidia.com) GeForce NOW is NVIDIA’s cloud gaming service: it runs PC games on remote servers and sends the video feed to a browser, phone, TV, handheld, or computer. NVIDIA says the service now streams on a wide range of devices and connects to game stores including Steam, Epic Games Store, and Xbox. (nvidia.com) The new addition is a demo, not the full game. Steam lists Rivage Demo as a separate entry published this week, and says the full game Rivage is still “to be announced.” (steampowered.com) Steam describes Rivage as a first-person sci-fi puzzle adventure set on the A.R.E.S. space station, with players controlling a character named Miranda inside a time-loop story. The store page for the full game lists Exnilo Studio as developer and Raw Fury as publisher. (steampowered.com) A Steam Community FAQ for the demo says the demo runs about one hour, has no set removal date, and its save files will not carry over to the full release. (steamcommunity.com) That makes the GeForce NOW version a low-friction test: players can sample the game’s art, puzzle design, and streaming performance without downloading a local build first. NVIDIA’s GeForce NOW catalog page says new games are added every GFN Thursday, the company’s weekly update cycle. (nvidia.com) NVIDIA has used demos on GeForce NOW before. In May 2024, the company promoted the Resident Evil Village demo on the service alongside support for features such as ray tracing and high dynamic range for eligible members. (blogs.nvidia.com) The broader pitch is device reach. NVIDIA says GeForce NOW can stream to laptops, Macs, phones, iPads, handhelds, TVs, and browsers, which turns a demo like Rivage into something users can try without checking whether their own hardware meets the game’s PC requirements. (nvidia.com) For Rivage, the immediate result is simple: a newly released Steam demo is now also a cloud-streamed tryout, and the full game remains unreleased. (steampowered.com)
