“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.” “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. Nvidia therefore is offering its full support for regulatory approval of the acquisition.” Nvidia is now throwing its weight behind the deal, stating its new partnership with Xbox “delivers increased choice to gamers and resolves Nvidia concerns with Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard. Reports from earlier this year alleged Nvidia was worried about the Microsoft-Activision tie-up and had provided evidence to support the FTC’s claim that Microsoft would take an unfair advantage in the nascent cloud gaming market as the FTC sued to block the buyout. □ it announced a similar deal with Nintendo earlier this week □ Microsoft likely made the move to ease concerns about its Activision deal □ Microsoft and Nvidia announced the partnership jointly CMA chief executive Sarah Cardell backed their decision to block the deal, and spoke against the EU decision, saying: “Microsoft’s proposals, accepted by the European Commission today, would allow Microsoft to set the terms and conditions for this market for the next 10 years. They would replace a free, open and competitive market with one subject to ongoing regulation of the games Microsoft sells, the platforms to which it sells them, and the conditions of sale. This is one of the reasons the CMA’s independent panel group rejected Microsoft’s proposals and prevented this deal.☁️ Future Xbox games released on PC will also be put on GeForce Now Microsoft is taking the UK CMA’s decision to the courts, and faces a legal challenge with the US Federal Trade Commission as well, but it certainly feels as though the deal could be getting back on track. This decision came just a few weeks after the UK’s Competition and Markets Authority moved to block the deal outright. We remain committed to releasing current titles from Xbox Game Studios and Bethesda, and future Activision Blizzard PC games once Microsoft’s acquisition closes.”Įarlier this week, the EU Commission approved Microsoft’s Activision acquisition. Sarah Bond, Corporate Vice President of Xbox wrote, “This is the first in a series of partnerships we’re activating to make our PC games available to players globally through a variety of cloud gaming services, starting with NVIDIA GeForce NOW, and with Boosteroid, Ubitus, EE and Nware in the future. The NVIDIA partnership is not the only one that is in the pipeline. This is the start of a decade long partnership which will see further Xbox Game Studios and Bethesda games added to GeForce Now as time goes on, and will be streamable through PC, Mac, SHIELD TV, and Android devices as well as on on Chromebook and iOS Safari. On May 25th, Deathloop, Grounded, and Pentiment will be added to the service. The rollout is in the UK, US, EU and around the world. Microsoft and NVidia have rolled out Xbox game access to NVIDIA GeForce NOW members, with players able to get their hands on Gears 5 from today.
