Xbox Game Studios' Gears 5 arrives on NVIDIA GeForce Now, with more Xbox Games coming soon 🎮

NVIDIA GeForce NOW, the popular cloud-gaming service, has recently announced an exciting addition to its platform. In collaboration with Microsoft, NVIDIA will now offer Xbox games to its subscribers, starting with the highly acclaimed title Gears of War 5. This collaboration brings Xbox titles to GeForce Now, allowing users to stream and play their favorite games on PC and other compatible devices.

Gears 5, the fifth installment in the renowned Gears of War franchise, is available for play on GeForce Now right now! This action-packed game takes players on a thrilling journey filled with intense combat and a gripping storyline. By adding Gears 5 to its library, GeForce Now ensures that fans of the franchise can enjoy the game on their preferred devices without the need for extensive hardware requirements, just need a subscription to the service.

But the exciting news doesn't end there. On May 25, 2023, three more Xbox games will be joining the GeForce Now library. Grounded, Deathloop, and Pentiment will expand the selection of Xbox PC games available for streaming. Grounded is a unique open-world survival game that shrinks players down to the size of ants, challenging them to navigate a perilous backyard environment. Deathloop, created by Arkane, immerses players in a thrilling first-person shooter experience where they must break free from a time loop on the mysterious island of Blackreef, and Pentiment offers an intriguing narrative-focused adventure set in 16th-century Bavaria, where players must unravel a conspiracy involving murders and political intrigue (this last one is a personal recommendation, really special hidden gem! 😉)

These movements are part of the NVIDIA's collaboration with Microsoft to bring Xbox games to GeForce Now is part of a larger strategic effort by Microsoft to gain regulatory approval for its acquisition of Activision Blizzard. As Microsoft aims to convince regulators that its control over the vast library of titles from Activision Blizzard will not stifle competition, it has entered into 10-year agreements with various rival platforms. Among these agreements are partnerships with Nware, Boosteroid, and NVIDIA, showcasing Microsoft's commitment to ensuring widespread availability of its games. Furthermore, Microsoft has made a significant pledge to bring Call of Duty to Nintendo's consoles for the next decade, guaranteeing feature and content parity. While this approach has garnered approval from entities like the EU, it has faced skepticism from the UK, which raises concerns about Microsoft's potential dominance in the cloud gaming market and its potential impact on competition.

NVIDIA has ambitious plans for the future of GeForce Now, with a commitment to adding more Xbox titles to its library of over 1,600 games. This expansion of available games not only enhances the gaming options for existing GeForce Now subscribers but also attracts new users looking for a diverse and immersive gaming experience. GeForce Now can be enjoyed on a wide range of devices, including TVs, laptops, mobiles, Androids, and PCs, making it accessible to a broad user base.
