Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War IV Headed to GeForce NOW Alongside DLSS 5 Updates

NVIDIA has announced that KING Art Games' upcoming real-time strategy title, Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War IV, will be accessible via its GeForce NOW cloud gaming platform following its Steam launch on Thursday, December 3 [1]. The announcement forms part of the latest updates to the platform, which also brings integration for NVIDIA DLSS 5 technology to other major titles [1].

Cloud Integration for Dawn of War IV

Developed by KING Art Games and published by Deep Silver, Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War IV returns to the roots of the series by featuring large-scale battles, base building, and a conflict set on the planet Kronus [1]. Players can command the Space Marines, Orks, Necrons, or the Adeptus Mechanicus, marking the latter's series debut [1]. The game supports solo and co-op modes across more than 70 campaign missions, alongside The Last Stand, Skirmish, and multiplayer modes [1]. Through GeForce NOW, users can stream the title across supported devices without occupying local storage for downloads and updates [1].

DLSS 5 and Neural Rendering Updates

NVIDIA's DLSS 5 technology featuring 3D-Guided Neural Rendering is expanding to additional games [1]. Gaijin Entertainment's War Thunder will receive the update in mid-November as part of its Eagle’s Shadow major update, which also brings new vehicles, cluster bombs, and visual enhancements [1]. Meanwhile, Everstone Studio's Where Winds Meet will integrate DLSS support on Monday, November 23, to enhance its wuxia open-world environment [1]. Both titles utilise the DLSS 5 model released in October, which doubles model performance compared to the prior version and achieves a tenfold increase since its initial announcement in March [1]. Ultimate tier members can access these features using GeForce RTX 5080 cloud rigs [1].

Expanded Library and Additions

Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen has also joined GeForce NOW, introducing new encounters, the abandoned region of Norgan, 12 dungeon challenges in Lost Rites, and a collaboration with Delicious in Dungeon [1]. Additionally, several new titles are joining the GeForce NOW library, including Worst Class Ever, Ashes of the Singularity II, Cyberpunk 2077 via Xbox Play Anywhere and Battle.net, DreamWorks Shrek 2 Remastered, Warhammer Survivors, Main Sequence, and Deadly Days: Roadtrip [1]. Furthermore, Ultimate members can access a playable demo titled GeForce 8800 GTX – 20 Years of a Legend, celebrating the 20th anniversary of the GPU using DLSS 4.5 and path tracing in the cloud [1].

GeForce NOW is NVIDIA's cloud gaming service that allows users to stream games across supported PCs, Macs, handhelds, and other devices without requiring local downloads [1]. NVIDIA DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) is an artificial intelligence rendering technology designed to boost frame rates and image quality.

The expansion of cloud gaming libraries and the deployment of advanced AI rendering technologies like DLSS 5 highlight how hardware and cloud infrastructure continue to evolve to support resource-intensive modern video games across a broader range of client devices.

Continuous enhancements in AI-driven neural rendering models like DLSS 5 could enable higher fidelity graphics and smoother gameplay performance across cloud streaming setups, reducing hardware barriers for end users.

GeForce NOW availability for individual titles can vary as games are onboarded following their respective store releases.
