In a partnership announced on Tuesday, Microsoft and NVIDIA revealed their plans for the next 10 years. This collaboration will bring Xbox PC games to the NVIDIA GeForce NOW cloud gaming service, which currently has over 25 million members from over 100 countries.
With this new agreement, gamers will now have the option to stream their favorite Xbox PC titles from GeForce NOW onto multiple devices, including PCs, macOS, Chromebooks, and smartphones.
The partnership is a significant development for NVIDIA's cloud gaming service, as it now has access to a wealth of popular Xbox PC games that can be streamed across different platforms. The addition of Activision Blizzard PC titles, such as Call of Duty, is also set to be a significant benefit. With Microsoft's acquisition of Activision, GeForce NOW members can expect to have access to the Activision Blizzard library of games on the platform.
This new partnership opens up a whole new world of possibilities for gamers and is sure to provide them with a seamless and high-quality gaming experience. Microsoft and NVIDIA's joint effort to bring Xbox PC games to the GeForce NOW cloud gaming service will enable gamers worldwide to play their favorite titles on various devices without worrying about storage space or hardware limitations.
"Xbox remains committed to giving people more choice and finding ways to expand how people play," said Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer. "This partnership will help grow NVIDIA's catalog 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."
"Combining the incredibly rich catalog of Xbox first party games with GeForce NOW's high-performance streaming capabilities will propel cloud gaming into a mainstream offering that appeals to gamers at all levels of interest and experience," said Jeff Fisher, senior vice president for GeForce at NVIDIA. "Through this partnership, more of the world's most popular titles will now be available from the cloud with just a click, playable by millions more gamers."
The partnership delivers increased choice to gamers and resolves NVIDIA's concerns with Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard. NVIDIA therefore is offering its full support for regulatory approval of the acquisition. Microsoft and NVIDIA will begin work immediately to integrate Xbox PC games into GeForce NOW, so that GeForce NOW members can stream PC games they buy in the Windows Store, including third-party partner titles where the publisher has granted streaming rights to NVIDIA. Xbox PC games currently available in third-party stores like Steam or Epic Games Store will also be able to be streamed through GeForce NOW.
