Phantom Blade Zero is finally here, bringing its slick martial arts combat and striking kungfupunk world to PC. If you’re worried that your PC can’t run it, Nvidia has a cloud solution. The game is joining GeForce NOW at launch, allowing players to experience S-GAME’s ambitious action RPG without investing in expensive new hardware.

The announcement is part of Nvidia’s latest GFN Thursday update, which brings nine games to its cloud gaming service this week, alongside modding support for two popular RPGs and new subscription options for players in India.

Fancy graphics without the expensive hardware

With Phantom Blade Zero arriving on GeForce NOW, players can stream the game directly to supported laptops, desktops, smartphones, and other compatible devices. There’s no need to download the game locally. But keep in mind that players still need access to a copy through a supported storefront.

Ultimate subscribers can also tap into RTX 5080-class cloud performance on supported servers, giving them access to high-end PC gaming capabilities without needing an actual RTX 5080 in their system. This is great for people trying to experience AAA-titles like Phantom Blade Zero, which bring cinematic sword fights, elaborate animations, and fast-paced combat in a dark fantasy setting inspired by Chinese martial arts.

Meanwhile, Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — Remastered are getting in-game mod.io support, allowing cloud gaming subscribers to customize their experiences without having to manage local game installations.

Anthropic cracks down on video game cloning with new Claude restrictions
Claude can still help develop original games, but copying existing titles is now off the table.
Claude website open on laptop

AI has been making its way into video game development for a while now, but the recent developments have started raising some serious concerns. Popular games are being reverse-engineered with AI assistance, recreated for web browsers, and made playable on platforms they were never released for. Between all that, indie developers have started pulling down their demos over fears of getting copied. Anthropic has now stepped in with new restrictions for Claude Code.

The change was first spotted on X and subsequently confirmed by Anthropic's Addy Osmani. The new instructions prevent Claude from recreating specific existing games, even if they are renamed or presented as original projects. Users can still make original games, work on games within a genre, and use their own designs and assets.

Phantom Blade Zero hands-on: An extraordinary game with unbelievable combat that I can’t get enough of
Every fight feels like a beautifully choreographed martial arts movie, except I'm the one controlling every move.

We have had a considerable number of high-profile game releases this year, but none so far have had as much hype behind them as Phantom Blade Zero. The source of all that hype was a 2023 trailer highlighting its fluid kung-fu-derived sword combat. Considering that, at the time of writing this piece, there are over 700,000 concurrent players on Steam alone, on a weekday no less, I think it's safe to say that the hype has converted into gamers actually showing up for the game. I have sunk around 10 hours into this game today, and so far, it has been nothing short of an absolute masterclass in action combat.
