We’re thrilled to share that starting today, NVIDIA GeForce NOW cloud gaming members in the U.K., the U.S., the European Union and around the world can stream Gears 5, and on May 25 will be able to enjoy fan-favorites Deathloop, Grounded, and Pentiment. This is just the beginning stage of our forward-thinking 10-year partnership with NVIDIA to make PC games from Xbox Game Studios and Bethesda available to their GeForce NOW members. Together, we’re accelerating access to players around the globe by letting them choose how and when they game.

The initial slate of launch games spans our catalog, providing players high-quality, immersive titles with a little something for everyone–single player campaigns, story-driven experiences, and opportunities to play with friends and family through multiplayer. Following this initial release, we’ll continue to add more content from our portfolio on a regular basis to ensure players can always find a new and exciting game. News and release dates will be shared via GFN Thursday updates.

Members will be able to stream PC hits from Xbox Game Studios and Bethesda purchased through Steam or Epic Games Store (for eligible games) on PC, Mac, SHIELD TV, and Android devices – or by visiting play.geforcenow.com on Chromebook and iOS Safari. Our teams are also working to bring support for games purchased through the Microsoft Store in the coming months.

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. We remain committed to releasing current titles from Xbox Game Studios and Bethesda, and future Activision Blizzard PC games once Microsoft’s acquisition closes.

Delivering our content through more partners and cloud gaming services puts players at the center, empowering them to play the games they want, with the people they want, on the devices they want. NVIDIA has been an outstanding partner for team Xbox over the years, and we can’t wait to see their devoted fans discover and play their next favorite PC games from Xbox.

Seems like they didn't skip the UK despite the threats, lmao.

I wonder if this is part of another PR offensive.

So people now can play the game they already owned on a PC that they rented? Wow imagine that, revolutionary.

Someone at Xbox right now.

How does this work? You can stream gamepass via GeForce?

 

[Cool hand luke]

Are they trying to strengthen Nvidia's market share ahead of appeals? Nvidia operates in a different segment of the market (BYO vs B2P) so that's not going to work.

Maybe this was pre-planned and was going to happen anyway. Maybe they thought that they would be finalizing and about to close the deal by now.

How embarrassing for Microsoft. It's starting to look like this trillion dollar company didn't have a contingency plan for the failure of the acquisition.

It would also explain why their shills are trying to hard to bend the world to their fantasy where this acquisition is not anticompetitive.

They're inarguably in a worse position as a company than they were at the start of this process, having conceded games to platforms like GeFN and having sat on 69bil while being frozen out of other deals. Heads will roll for this. It's a nightmare scenario for them.

Other publishers also allow that with GeForce Now. There is nothing special about this deal.

If Xbox was so nice they would have done earlier before the Activision deal backfired in their faces. Who was waiting to play Gears 5 or Pentiment anyway?

Nvidia was dumb getting involved for these shit games no one cares.

The long term ploy is to kickstart the gaming cloud transition in any way possible. Helping anyone not named Amazon/Google should be good for MS.
