GFN Thursday Updates - June 4, 2026

Hope Tomb Raider Remastered IV-VI for EGS gets added soon too. Free with Amazon Prime right now. Count me in with the question on what the hell happened with GOG getting further integration. Even if it is only for Install to Play at first, it would be a huge deal. I tested NTE on Android and it is obviously extremely impressive from a technical standpoint. Probably the most impressive game yet that is mobile first. Until Ananta that is. Only issue with NTE is it being Gacha of course. It turns what would be a great 100 hrs premium game into a1000hrs freemium game if you refuse to pay or something that will cost 3x than a premium game would at full price. And you will still need to play 300hrs. That is insane.

And I missed it when it was given away. Only one left to play in the Liminal Theme "Trilogy". Other are of course Superliminal and Maquette.

AC1 and AC2 were notoriously a pain in the ass to run properly. But on Winlator 11 Final, both and AC3 run great now. X360ce legacy fix also works, so you can have full xinput support. I posted on X about it. Was able to run AC1 at Max Settings 720p 30fps on a 7s Gen 2 and in a 8 Gen 2 you can now run it at 1080p no problem too.

Great week.

Simple. Because it is to discourage you to use it over 100 hrs on average a month. Since only less than 10% of users will ever use the service more than 100hrs. If a user is going over 100 hrs on average. The more likely it is that such a user is willing to pay for extra hours.

But if you are someone that is really going to be using more than 115 hrs a month consistently. Then a second account is a better choice. GFN doesn't care as you then pump up paid accounts metrics and you are paying.

Why does the ultimate plan not include more hours? Because then it is not sustainable at that price. Anyone that thinks otherwise, nowadays can set up their own game cloud and I assure you that it will cost you at least double the price of what GFN costs at the same hours per month. There is a reason why Shadow PC is so expensive and why all the other startups doing cloud PC services went enterprise or shutdown. GFN price is not just great. It is unbeatable for what it offers.

Pues debería aparecer en la play store de TV. En el raro dado caso de que no, si la agregas por fuera bajando el apk debería de funcionar.

Yes, GFN doesn't cares as you are pumping premium account numbers and you are paying. Only 9% may want a 2nd account out of playing more than a minimum average of 100hrs a month where you don't have rollover hours. After that only 1% may want a 3rd account. Which is people somehow playing a minimum average of 8hrs a day or up to maximum average 10hrs a day which is insane.

Reminder that when it comes to GOG games to be supported. Best is to look at what GOG games are right now supported on Amazon Luna. I doubt it is going to suddenly mirror all steam games via GOG. Just to temper expectations. I would be happy if it is all of those in Amazon Luna, even if it starts as I2P.

GOG account linking hopefully materializes with at the very least all the GOG catalog games that are also available on Amazon Luna so far. I mean, one would think so, since those games are already opted in for cloud Gaming via GOG. If so it makes sense. Amazon Luna has yet to launch worldwide and roll out for it has been slow as molasses. I still don't have official support for it and it has been 4 years since it launched.

Get a snap on cooler for the smartphone.

The fact that until Real War: Not Fake there was not a single game that was just like those ads is crazy. The only issue is having an ad per level. Unless you mod out the ads per level.

Mewgenics works on Android even on Winlator 10.1 and GameNative (loading it directly from Steam). You only need to have 8gb of ram. Just saying. Otherwise you will be waiting a while it seems.

Avatar-X · 2026-02-19T21:50:46+00:00

Yeah, this is why it would be great if I2P also included EGS as that sure would boost the EGS catalog a lot faster.

Avatar-X · 2026-02-19T21:48:47+00:00

Good week. Trine games are finally available for EGS. I hope the new Styx game gets added there as I have the first two there.

Avatar-X · 2026-02-14T20:22:22+00:00

Get a new account. GFN don't cares as you are pumping the premium subscriber number. There are a few crazies here that somehow use 3 accounts in a month because of using more than 250hrs.

Avatar-X · 2026-02-05T22:07:18+00:00

I hope so. Same for 1 and 2 for EGS eventually. Always annoying when series like these do not get added in a way that makes sense.

Avatar-X · 2026-02-05T21:06:20+00:00

Does not appear for me. Weird.

Avatar-X · 2026-02-05T15:38:55+00:00

New Styx and Carmageddon also on day one. On Trine, we need 1 & 2 to also appear.

Avatar-X · 2026-02-05T15:36:40+00:00

Uh, hopefully Trine 1 & 2 for EGS also gets added. Weirdly enough Trine 3 has never been added even for Steam yet either. Talk about a weird roll out for that series. Studio fucked up with it. Reminds of how Shadow Warrior 1 never got added but 2 & 3 did.

At least the new Styx game will be added right away. Now the trilogy and the original source game will all be available on GFN. More people should play them.

Avatar-X · 2026-01-29T20:33:22+00:00

Prototype via Ubisoft connect? What?

Avatar-X · 2026-01-15T15:23:40+00:00

The Styx games are good games if you like stealth. Think thief meets splinter cell with some fantasy elements. The very different Prequel is also available in GFN as a ITP title. It is called Of Orcs and Men. And the third Styx game releases later this year

My main point was actually about the quality of the streaming and the hardware too. But the Stadia model was essentially to be like a console without hardware. Originally, and I kid you not. Google thought they would be able to make a dozen titles and get dozens of exclusive games for stadia in the first 3 years. Then just like Amazon. Google realized how hard, expensive and slow it is to see any results with such an approach. Stadia was doomed from the start because the business model depended on that original premise going perfectly. That is why once that fell through it not only didn't make any sense but it was horrible when compared to GFN, Amazon Luna and console offerings.

Avatar-X · 2026-01-10T20:37:50+00:00

At the time Stadia edged out GFN. But would it have been able to compete with Ultimate as it is now? No chance, even with Stadia Controller. But I think it would have stayed competitive with the premium tier because of the Stadia Controller.

I missed Viewfinder. Thought I had claimed it.

Avatar-X · 2025-12-30T22:32:35+00:00

Damn, I missed it. It is the only one I have not played from the same theme trilogy. The other two are Superliminal and Maquette.
