Microsoft has just signed a 10-year deal with NVIDIA, that will see Xbox and Activision games released on the GeForce Now platform. A similar plan was previously announced last year--one that would bring the Call of Duty franchise to Nintendo systems and to Steam for the next decade. This new agreement will bring Xbox's PC lineup of games, including Call of Duty, to GeForce Now's streaming service, notably, a rival to Xbox's own xCloud Gaming streaming service.

Of course, this all hinges on the Activision deal going through, which Microsoft will soon be defending to EU regulators.

We have signed a 10 year agreement with NVIDIA that will allow GeForce NOW players to stream Xbox PC games as well as Activision Blizzard PC titles, including COD, following the acquisition. We´re committed to bringing more games to more people – however they choose to play.

Really hoping other companies take notice of this. Looking at you, Bandai Namco and SEGA.

Nintendo should bring their games to PC or don't complain people pirate their games. They can't have it both ways.

They're surely worried that people will make a no-moustache mod for Super Mario Odyssey.

So basically they're competing against themselves, and there's no point to buy an Xbox... Neat.

...Wasnt that the Whole point of Game Pass. To saturate the Market to the point that Xbox Hardware is redundant. The Money is at Software not Hardware. "Play on a POTATO, as Long as you are paying for Game Pass Ultimate"
They don't care if I buyi a Series X ( loss leader which they don't really earn anything) When They have Millions, Including me, already stacked up on 3 year of Game Pass.

PlayStation going the same way.

Does this mean we will get a Xbox Geforce or a Geforce Xbox device now?

yup they want to turn people into subscribers, heck in the future i bet they dont even want to make hardware, they just want to do it like netflix and windows and sell the subscription/software.

if sony ever agrees to let gamepass be on ps5 then they wont even bother to make new hardware imo, they will be all about cloud gaming amd gamepass subscriptions.

 

[Marc_LFD]

if sony ever agrees to let gamepass be on ps5

That could be how Hi-Fi Rush makes its way to PS/Nintendo.

It really looks like a game Sega would have developed back in the day.



Sort of a spin-off of Jet Set Radio.

I need more HI-FI RUSH... any way I can ... PERIOD

I actually thought this game was the JSR spiritual successor that's coming out:



Want it so badly!

I'm more excited about the Nintendo deal--seeing how they port CoD to Switch will be interesting.

At 540p and 20 FPS is how. Unless they put iD on the project.

I read something about Microsoft promising the same capabilities--including cross-compatibility--to Nintendo ports. I think the only real way something like that could be pulled off is through cloud gaming.

Nevertheless, this should be interesting, if not humorous.

Yeah I wouldn't count on that meaning the same performance or quality settings, obviously impossible to match a PS5/XSX. Just the same game with the same ability to play with everyone else online.

deffinately humorous the last time cod was on a nintendo device was cod wii. go google it i dare you
