ShankWhere to play Shank in the cloud
GeForce NOW streams Shank to your PC, phone, tablet or TV without installing it, but it does not include the game: you need your own copy from one of the stores below, then the service runs it for you. On GeForce NOW it is an Install-to-Play title: the game is downloaded onto your session's cloud storage when you start it, which takes a few minutes and needs the Performance or Ultimate plan.

Where to buy Shank for cloud play
GeForce NOW and Boosteroid do not sell games: they stream the copy you already own. If you do not have Shank yet, buy it from one of these stores — it then works on any device you stream from. Live store prices, for the country we think you are in.
Shank performance on GeForce NOW
GeForce NOW has three plans. The plan decides how good Shank looks, how long you can play in one go, and whether you wait for a machine — these limits are the same for every game on the service. Shank needs a paid plan — the free one cannot start it.
