Video game leaks are a source of chaos for industry developers and fan communities. Whether they are true or a source of false hope, leaks by their very nature will provoke discussions — sometimes heated ones — over their credibility. The Nvidia GeForce Now leak was one of the biggest in recent years: The leak consists of a list of possible sequels, remasters, remakes, and PC ports coming to the service in the near future. Said Nvidia leak is also quite long, and can easily be dismissed as wishful thinking.
However, what the Nvidia GeForce Now leak has that several of its contemporaries lack is credibility. While it is unlikely that all the listed releases will become a reality, the leak is seemingly not just pipe dreams. Some of the games in the leak were eventually revealed, but whether the leak is right about all its ideas is currently up to speculation.
Sony
Sony has already shown interest in porting its exclusives to PC, with games like Uncharted 4 and Lost Legacy receiving such treatment. Having former Sony exclusives on PC, especially titles from staple developers like Naughty Dog, is a huge deal.
PlayStation consoles have historically had a library of exclusives as rich as Nintendo’s, even discounting series that became multiplatform like Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon. Continuing to take such a step with these games could lead to an interesting future for Sony’s developers, and the concept of console exclusives in general.
- Demon’s Souls
- Deracine
- Ghost of Tsushima
- God of War
- Gran Turismo 7
- Helldivers 2
- Horizon Forbidden West
- Ratchet & Clank
- Returnal
- Sackboy: A Big Adventure
- Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Edition
The Ratchet & Clank game remains unspecified, but it could be referring to the 2016 remake of the original title.
Microsoft
Unlike Sony, Microsoft's consoles have a history of sharing their exclusives with PC or other consoles. Bioshock, Mass Effect, and Dead Rising are all games that started as Xbox 360 exclusives and became multiplatform releases with sequels.
It makes sense with PC, considering the Windows operating system is also a Microsoft creation, but the aforementioned games were released on other systems including the PlayStation 4. Even Halo, the Xbox’s flagship franchise, is now accessible to PC gamers through Steam and Game Pass via The Master Chief Collection. If everything in the Nvidia leak is true, then Microsoft’s streak is far from over.
- Avowed
- Contraband
- Fable
- Forza
- Gears of War 6
- Gravity
- Halo 5: Guardians
- Indus
- Untitled The Initiative Game (Unspecified)
- Kalimba
- Oxide
Contraband, Fable, and Forza are labeled "Project Typhoon," "Project Holland," and "Project Woodstock," respectively
Square Enix
The games listed under the Square Enix banner are mostly Final Fantasy-related. It feels like announcements that aim to specifically cater to Square Enix’s biggest fanbases. So far, one game in this section is officially released, Final Fantasy 7 remake, so that likely refers to a port of the game. The other games might be announced in the future, but there is no guarantee they are in development.
- Chrono Cross remaster
- Final Fantasy 7 Remake
- Final Fantasy 9 Remake
- Final Fantasy 16
- Final Fantasy Tactics remaster
- Kingdom Hearts 4
- Tomb Raider Anniversary
- Unannounced Square Enix Game
Capcom
Capcom is surprisingly lacking in the Nvidia leak considering its various creations, but what is included remains possible. Some of them are likely to happen with or without leaks. However, the leak seems to be missing some other big properties like Mega Man, Devil May Cry, and Ace Attorney.
- Dragons Dogma 2
- Monster Hunter 6
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Street Fighter 6
Take-Two Interactive
Take-Two Interactive is the company that owns the rights to BioShock and Rockstar Games’ works. Both BioShock and one of Rockstar's biggest series, Grand Theft Auto, are included in the leak.
- BioShock 2022
- BioShock remaster
- Grand Theft Auto 3, Vice City, and San Andreas remasters
The GTA remasters have already been confirmed as a reality thanks to Grand Theft Auto - The Trilogy: The Definitive Edition.
EA
EA follows the same path as other companies in the leak, with an expected sequel and an interesting way to bring back a well-received game from the past both included in its potential offerings.
- Mirror’s Edge remaster
- Untitled game from Respawn Entertainment
- Titanfall 3
Sega
Sega is similar to Capcom because of its lack of games despite plenty of potential remasters, remakes, and sequels among its franchises. In a leak full of fan requests that can easily be faked, there are no signs of a Sonic Adventure 3, or the comeback of forgotten franchises like Billy Hatcher and NiGHTS.
- Bayonetta 3
- Judgment
Bayonetta 3 is a PlatinumGames title officially being published by Nintendo, but was included with Sega's offerings in the original leak.
Atlus
Despite the series’ 25th anniversary, no Persona games were included in the Nvidia leak. Popular ideas like a PC port of Persona 5 Royal, a possible remake of Revelations: Persona or Persona 2: Innocent Sin and Eternal Punishment, and a version of Persona 3 were not been found.
- Catherine Full Body
- Shin Megami Tensei 5
Singular Game Companies
Like previous companies, many of the developers listed with just one game in the leak are not completely unbelievable. For example, an Arkham Knight remaster could follow up the Arkham Asylum and Arkham City remasters, meanwhile a Half-Life 2 remaster, while not the elusive third title, could be Valve's way of seeing if people are still heavily invested in the series after Half-Life: Alyx in 2020. Tekken 8, part of a prominent fighting game series, may likely be made available in the future.
- Batman: Arkham Knight Remaster (WB)
- Crysis 4 (Crytek)
- Earth Defence Force 6 (D3 Publisher Inc.)
- Half-Life 2 Remastered (Valve)
- Human Fall Flat 2 (Curve Digital)
- Project FPS (Paradox)
- The Talos Principle 2 (Devolver Digital)
- Tekken 8 (Bandai Namco)
Other Third-Party Titles
How likely the remaining games in the leak are to become a reality depends on the game themselves. Some, like Crash Team Racing, are already rumored to be ported on other systems like the PlayStation 5. Others, like the updated Ultra Street Fighter 2, have yet to be hinted at beyond this leak.
Not only are many of these offerings in the Nvidia GeForce Now leak rarely the subject of rumors, they seem specific enough to only potentially be catering to fan demands. That said, Destroy All Humans! 3 may be the most likely due to the recent announcement of a Destroy All Humans! 2 remake.
