Welcome to the Zone
Trust no one, file everything.
Quarantine Zone: The Last Check is now available in the cloud, extending its intense isolation and critical decision-making gameplay from its Steam launch to all GeForce NOW-supported devices.
Players take on the role of managing a vital checkpoint during a zombie outbreak, utilizing advanced screening tools and their instincts. A single error could allow the infection to spread. Tasks include screening survivors, managing limited resources, and fending off the undead. Beyond simply holding the line, players must reinforce defenses and ensure the camp’s survival as the situation escalates daily.
For GeForce NOW Ultimate members, Quarantine Zone: The Last Check streams with the full power of a GeForce RTX 5080, delivering sharp visuals and smooth performance for every critical moment. Maxed-out settings and high frame rates enhance each document check, tough choice, and late-night guard shift, eliminating concerns about lengthy installations or hardware limitations.
The Devolver Digital catalog also features other popular titles already streaming on GeForce NOW, such as Cult of the Lamb, Ball x Pit, Hotline Miami, Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number, Inscryption, and Enter the Gungeon. These games offer unique and chaotic experiences.
These titles demonstrate Devolver’s talent for bold design and memorable game worlds, all instantly accessible via GeForce NOW.
