Setting Up GeForce NOW
If you already have an NVIDIA account, skip steps 1-2!
To get started with GeForce NOW, head over to their website and go through the following steps:
- Sign up for an NVIDIA account
- Note: You do not have to purchase a membership to play Sunderfolk. Simply click the free membership option and you’ll be able to play! Or sign up for the premium memberships, Performance and Ultimate, for higher frame rates and lower latency over free users.
- Once you’ve created and verified your account, you can either download the GeForce NOW app here, or play directly through your supported browser.
Playing Sunderfolk using the Geforce NOW App:
- In the GeForce NOW app, navigate to the Games search bar at the top of the window and type in “Sunderfolk”.
- Hit the “Add to Library” button then hit “Play”!
If playing Sunderfolk through the browser:
- Head over to the Games section and type in “Sunderfolk”!
- Once you’re on the Sunderfolk game page, click on “Add to Library” then “Play”!
When Playing The Sunderfolk First Look Demo:
On certain devices without a controller (gamepad or keyboard/mouse), you may see a dialog pop up which states "This game requires a gamepad". This does NOT mean you need a gamepad, as all input for playing Sunderfolk is done via the Sunderfolk Controller app. Simply select "Continue" to bypass the screen.
On certain TV devices, you may also be presented with a GeForce NOW dialog asking if you're still playing after some play time. Simply hit any button on your remote control to clear this message. We're working to have this message removed for the future.
Getting the Sunderfolk Controller App
Whether you’re playing on the browser or through the GeForce NOW app, you’ll need to make sure you have the Sunderfolk controller app installed on your phone. This will serve as your main controller in playing the game.
Simply scan the QR code on the Sunderfolk home screen with your phone to be automatically sent to your device’s store page! If you prefer a direct download, you can search for Sunderfolk Controller on the Google Play or App Store!
Sunderfolk is best played with friends, and they’ll be able to join you in the demo! They’ll just need to have the Sunderfolk Controller app installed on their mobile device with the steps above!
Remote Play
Want to play with friends but are burdened with physical distance? Don’t worry, Sunderfolk supports remote play!
What you’ll need:
- A way to share your main screen with your party (We recommend using Discord!)
- You can create a room to play in the official Sunderfolk Discord server!
- Have your friends download the Sunderfolk Controller app on either Google Play Store or through the App Store, depending on their device
- Have everyone scan the Sunderfolk QR code on the home screen, click Ready, then hop into a new adventure!
