Microsoft and NVIDIA have signed a 10-year agreement to bring Xbox PC games to the NVIDIA GeForce Now cloud gaming service.
The deal would allow gamers to stream Xbox PC titles from GeForce NOW to PCs, macOS, Chromebooks, smartphones, and other devices. The partnership comes as Microsoft has been struggling to get its $70B Activision Blizzard acquisition approved by regulators.
The agreement would also enable Activision Blizzard PC titles, such as Call of Duty, to be streamed on NVIDIA GeForce NOW if Microsoft's acquisition of Activision closes.
- In the statement announcing the partnership, Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer said the company remains committed to giving people more choices and finding ways to expand how people play.
- NVIDIA had previously been against Microsoft's Activision Blizzard acquisition and had complained about the deal to the U.S. FTC.
- NVIDIA now says it supports the acquisition.
- NVIDIA's GeForce Now has over 25 million members, while Microsoft's cloud gaming equivalent Game Pass has 25 million subscribers.
