NVIDIA GeForce NOW finally supports Firefox on Windows, marking a step towards greater browser diversity for cloud gaming.
NVIDIA GeForce NOW has officially declared support for Firefox on Windows, according to GamingOnLinux. This decision marks a significant development in the cloud gaming sphere as it diversifies potential access points for users who might not want—or be able—to use mainstream browsers like Chrome or Edge. The lack of Linux support as part of the announcement may frustrate users who rely on open-source operating systems, but the inclusion of Firefox still broadens accessibility significantly for Windows users.
Retro Games Make a Comeback
In other news, ZOOM Platform has announced the return of the 2006 Ukrainian FPS “You Are Empty” in the form of “You Are Empty: Absolute Edition.” As reported by GamingOnLinux, this remake seeks to bring a fresh take to a forgotten classic. ZOOM Platform’s move to revisit and revive older, niche games could indicate a growing trend of interest in retro gaming, tapping into nostalgia while potentially finding new audiences.
Platformers and Roleplaying Games
RockPaperShotgun highlights “Clipmatrix,” a unique platformer embracing momentum mechanics reminiscent of “Counter-Strike” bunny hopping. Set in surreal and industrial landscapes, it represents how niche mechanics can graduate into fully fledged features that define new games.
Meanwhile, for fans of role-playing games, “Entropy,” a challenging RPG noted for its Final Fantasy-like aesthetics and the permadeath of party members, has entered early access. According to RockPaperShotgun, Entropy aims to lure gamers with its complex mechanics and grim tone, a signature style of developer Lovely Hellplace.
Leaks and Speculation
GTA 6 leaks continue to surface, this time sparked by a group advocating for offline modes in games like “The Crew,” alongside opposition to digital preorders. These leaks, surfacing yet again, demonstrate the ongoing tension between developers and segments of the gaming community who demand more control over their purchased games.
Finally, PCGamesN reports speculation surrounding the inclusion of the “OG Doom Slayer” in Fortnite’s Season 4, alongside other major characters like Mega Man and Crash Bandicoot. This potential crossover continues Fortnite’s strategy of aggregating pop culture icons, keeping the game relevant and widely appealing across various fanbases.
