sourceMicrosoft is bringing its Xbox PC games to Nvidia’s GeForce Now cloud gaming service. Speaking at a press conference in Brussels today, Microsoft president Brad Smith announced the news as it seeks to convince EU regulators to approve its proposed Activision Blizzard acquisition.
“Microsoft will be bringing its Xbox games that play on PCs to Nvidia’s GeForce Now cloud gaming service,” said Smith in a press conference. “We will also bring all of Activision Blizzard’s titles including Call of Duty to GeForce Now.”
this is a far bigger deal than Nintendo getting the Call of Duty series on their consoles. as not only have Nintendo and Microsoft consistently collaborated before. but Geforce Now is a direct competitor in the cloud gaming market.
with them generally beating Microsoft's offering in every possible avenue (a free tier that lets you play 1-hour sessions, uses your library of games you already own off services such as Steam, has the lowest input latency.)
the only real issue is that it frequently requires you to manually login to each launcher to access your owned games. but they've fixed this for a few of them. such as with the Ubisoft Launcher as well as Fortnite (but only Fortnite, everything else on the Epic Games Store still requires the login process.)
