This GFN Thursday brings a chilling new experience with the launch of Quarantine Zone: The Last Check, Devolver Digital’s latest atmospheric release. Players take on the role of checkpoint personnel during a zombie outbreak, making critical decisions that determine the fate of survivors.

Quarantine Zone: The Last Check streams with GeForce RTX 5080 power for GeForce NOW Ultimate members, delivering stunning visuals and smooth performance. Every tense moment is heightened with maxed-out settings and fluid frame rates, all without the hassle of lengthy downloads or hardware limitations.
Devolver Digital’s catalog is well-represented on GeForce NOW, with titles like Cult of the Lamb, Ball x Pit, Hotline Miami, Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number, Inscryption, and Enter the Gungeon available to stream.
