Those of Redmond are going even further to open their cloud gaming ecosystem to other platforms, as they had promised in their concessions generated thanks to the acquisition of Activision Blizzard. Its partnership with Nvidia to bring its future Activision games and those of Xbox Game Studios to GeForce Now materialized with the arrival of the first a few weeks ago. But now it has a powerful new push: PC Game Pass.
As Sarah Bond said in a private interview after the Xbox Showcase yesterday, we’ll soon be able to play our PC Game Pass catalog on all Nvidia GeForce Now supported devices. Recall that Nvidia’s system allows us to run a game on their own machines in the cloud, equipped with the latest technologies available, and broadcast this content directly to our screens, in order to enjoy the best quality of our games. This was confirmed in Xbox thread:
This will allow the PC Game Pass catalog to be playable on any device GeForce Now runs on, including low-end PCs, Macs, Chromebooks, mobiles, TVs, and more, and we’ll be rolling it out In the coming months.
Nvidia and Microsoft closer than ever with GeForce Now
We understand that the Xbox Series X | S and the Xbox One at the time had AMD’s technology, but on PCs, Microsoft’s most loyal companion is undoubtedly Nvidia. Not surprisingly, Microsoft designed the DirectX RT functions almost for them for their RTX series graphics cards, which currently lead the market with their power and flexibility.
Although at the moment not all PC Game Pass games can be streamed through GeForce Now, but a selection of them. Probably the ones that benefit the most from the levels of performance and image quality that a graphics card like the RTX 4080 can deliver. A power that Microsoft’s own Cloud Gaming does not have at the moment, since it is based on the Xbox Series X.
