Microsoft teams up with Nvidia to bring Xbox games to GeForce Now

While Call of Duty has been a big part of the discussion around Microsoft's planned acquisition of Activision Blizzard, regulators have also expressed concern regarding the cloud market. To help with that, Microsoft has now entered an agreement with Nvidia to bring all of its Xbox PC games to GeForce Now.

Previously, Xbox titles were limited to Microsoft's own Xbox Cloud Gaming service. However, this partnership with Nvidia will now mean that all of Xbox's first-party PC games will be added to the service, granting access to more than 25 million gamers across 100 countries.

Speaking on the deal, Microsoft Gaming CEO, Phil Spencer, said: “Xbox remains committed to giving people more choice and finding ways to expand how people play. This partnership will help grow NVIDIA’s catalogue of titles to include games like Call of Duty, while giving developers more ways to offer streaming games. We are excited to offer gamers more ways to play the games they love.”

Xbox games will start heading to GeForce Now in the near future, as Microsoft and Nvidia are swiftly beginning work on this. The deal will ensure all current Xbox PC titles from first-party studios will be supported, in addition to Activision Blizzard games should Microsoft's acquisition gain approval.

KitGuru Says: The GeForce Now library was already pretty strong, particularly with publishers like Square Enix, Ubisoft and EA expanding support. With Xbox titles now heading over, the library will improve even further.
