The Nvidia GeForce Now leak caused ripples in the gaming world, accurately predicting some releases while also making a few incorrect calls Discover the games that materialized and those that didn't, as we delve into the aftermath of this significant leak
Highlights
The Nvidia GeForce Now leak seems increasingly credible, with a significant number of accurately predicted titles being released or confirmed for release since the leak.
The leak's accurate prediction of Sony's expansion of first-party exclusives to PC adds to its overall credibility. Although there are still some leaked titles that have not been released, the ratio of released to unreleased games indicates that more of the leaked titles may still be coming in the future.
The Nvidia GeForce Now leak, once heavily disputed, has now emerged as one of the most credible video game leaks in recent memory. While leaks should always be taken with caution, the fact that a considerable number of titles mentioned in the leak have actually been released adds validity to its claims. Although some speculated games, like the rumored Final Fantasy 9 remake, are still pending, the existence of released titles increases the likelihood that the remaining leaked games may eventually be unveiled. Examining the released and unreleased games in light of the initial leak reveals an intriguing pattern, with some titles already available and others officially announced with planned release dates in 2024, such as Helldivers 2 and Dragon's Dogma 2. This abundance of accurate predictions further supports the reliability of the leak, even as a few games continue to remain elusive. However, given the ratio of released to unreleased games, there is genuine potential for more of the leaked titles to materialize in the future.
Every Game From the Nvidia GeForce Now Leak That Has Released or Been Confirmed
The games listed below were accurately predicted by the GeForce Now leak. They have either been released within the past two years, like the Chrono Cross remaster, or have been confirmed for release sometime in 2024. The leak's accurate prediction of Sony's decision to bring its first-party exclusives to PC adds credibility to its overall authenticity. It is worth noting that there are other Sony first-party exclusives that were not included in the leak but have since been confirmed for release on PC.
Some of the leaks pertaining to Microsoft were initially presented as coded titles, but they have been revealed to be the latest installments in popular franchises like the Fable reboot or Forza Motorsport, the latter of which was released just last week.

Every Game the Nvidia GeForce Now Leak Got Wrong (So Far)
Although the leak includes an impressive number of confirmed games, there are still notable titles that have not yet been released. It's important to note that these games may still be released in the future, but currently, there are no official announcements regarding any of the unconfirmed games. One highly anticipated title in the leak is the rumored remake of Final Fantasy 9. Despite lacking an official announcement, industry insiders still consider it a legitimate game. Interestingly, Square Enix has sold several Western studios and IP since the leak, making it impossible for some of the leaked games from the developers to be realized.
Surprisingly, none of the leaked games from Atlus have materialized. However, the studio has shifted its focus towards remaking and porting the cherished Persona series to PC and modern consoles, even though these titles were not part of the leak. Similarly, in the GeForce Now leak, a remaster of Final Fantasy Tactics was mentioned, but since the leak's revelation, Square Enix has chosen to remaster its spiritual predecessor, Tactics Ogre, instead. It is entirely possible that the unreleased projects mentioned in the leak will undergo significant changes before they are finally released to players. Sony
