Microsoft plans to add 'favourite' PC Game Pass games to Nvidia GeForce Now catalogue
On Sunday, 11 June, at a private briefing in Los Angeles, Xbox's Head of Player Support Sarah Bond announced that Microsoft plans to bring its PC Game Pass titles to Nvidia GeForce Now, as it does with Boosteroid, for example:
"You will be able to play your PC Game Pass catalog on all the devices supported by Nvidia GeForce Now,- said Bond."
Here's What We Know
It should be clarified right away that we are not talking about the entire Game Pass library, as Xbox Wire editor-in-chief Joe Scribbles writes in his article that "...Game Pass members will soon be able to stream selected PC games...". It can be assumed that games will be added gradually, as is the case with Boosteroid, where Deathloop, Gears 5, Grounded, and Pentimen appeared in early June. Although, in any case, this is a significant improvement for cloud gaming.
Agreements with Nvidia, Boosteroid, and other companies are part of Microsoft's plan to "appease" regulators regarding the acquisition of Activision Bliizard. Nevertheless, the existence of these agreements did not prevent the CMA from blocking the acquisition due to a "threat to the cloud gaming market" in April.
When We Can Expect It
Unfortunately, neither Bond at the briefing nor Scrubbs in the blog post gave a date for Game Pass to appear in GeForce Now, so we'll wait for news.
