Customizing WoW with CurseForge Addons
Returning to World of Warcraft with GeForce NOW is now more exciting than ever, thanks to the integration of top CurseForge Addons.

GeForce NOW has collaborated with CurseForge to make over 25 of the top Addons available to Ultimate and Priority members, including Day Pass users.
