Yesterday, news broke that a hacker had gained access to Nvidia’s GeForce Now backend and downloaded an internal list of all games available on the platform. This involved cracking an older version of the GeForce Now client to download Nvidia’s list and not the publicly available listing of games that GeForce Now can actually play.
What that hacker found was a treasure trove of unannounced titles, PlayStation and Xbox PC ports, and even remasters and remakes that fans have been clamoring for years. Games like God of War, Returnal, Demon Souls, and Final Fantasy 7 Remake would make the jump from PlayStation to Steam, while completely unannounced games like Gears 6, Helldivers 2, Resident Evil 4 remake, Half-Life 2 Remastered, and the GTA remastered trilogy were all seemingly confirmed from an unlikely source.
Today, Nvidia is here to put a damper on the GeForce Now leak. In a statement to Wccftech, Nvidia said that the list is just used for internal tracking and doesn’t represent in-development or unannounced games.
"Nvidia is aware of an unauthorized published game list, with both released and/or speculative titles, used only for internal tracking and testing. Inclusion on the list is neither confirmation nor an announcement of any game,” said an Nvidia spokesperson. “Nvidia took immediate action to remove access to the list. No confidential game builds or personal information were exposed.”
We were all really hoping that Nvidia knew something we didn't, especially considering the PlayStation games listed would all make great PC ports. God of War is 2018's game of the year, while Returnal and Demon Souls are two games that defined the PS5's launch.
Sony has already said on multiple occasions that it plans to bring more of its library to the PC platform, although the PlayStation consoles will still get exclusive titles before anyone else.
Even though Nvidia has said otherwise, we can still look at this leak as a wishlist of sorts and use it to keep an eye on developers that might be working on those unannounced titles.
