It is universally understood that Microsoft still has a long way to go regarding the future of the Activision Blizzard purchase following the ban announced by the UK Competition and Markets Authority (CMA). Among the possibilities isappeal the decision and negotiations that are conducted directly with government entities in the northern territory.
However, it’s not all bad news. Those in Redmond, in their effort to show themselves against any monopoly, have made several agreements that now translate into public support, such as the one that NVIDIA itself granted with its subscription service. GeForce now.
NVIDIA in favor of Microsoft and openly against the CMA
GeForce NOW and other cloud gaming providers are expected to acquire an even more comprehensive catalog of games if Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision is finalized.
We see this as a benefit for cloud gaming and hope for a positive resolution.

In addition to publicly opposing the CMA’s decision, NVIDIA’s announcement reinforces that sagas like Halo or Gears of War, among many others, will be part of GeForce Now even if the acquisition of Activision Blizzard does not ultimately materialize.
If we go into the details of the service, NVIDIA GeForce Now currently has around 1600 PC titles supporting cloud games. In fact, this week it made its first games into the Resident Evil saga with Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 3, and Resident Evil 7 Biohazard.
