Nvidia’s cloud gaming subscription platform, GeForce Now has been busy at Gamescom. The platform announced it would support highly anticipated releases, as well as several old favorites.
The bulk of the newly added games are part of GeForce Now’s new partnership with Microsoft. Starting today, players can link their GeForce Now and Xbox accounts to sign-in automatically when launching GeForce Now. This is part of a wider decade-long deal between Microsoft and Nvidia to bring Xbox titles to the GeForce Now platform.
Ultimately, this will reduce friction for Nvidia’s cloud gaming users. Unlike other cloud gaming offerings, Nvidia’s does not include access to a catalog of games. Instead, it gives users access to a virtual desktop where users can access games they’ve acquired elsewhere. Teaming up with Xbox helps bridge this gap and Nvidia can offer Xbox users access to its high performance GPUs optimized for gaming.
This integration builds upon similar programs GeForce Now has with both Epic Games and Ubisoft for automatic sign-ins. However, unlike its other partnerships Nvidia aimed to synergize with Microsoft’s own cloud gaming ecosystem. With Xbox game sync, GeForce Now will add supported PC Game Pass and Microsoft Store titles to members’ cloud libraries. To date, there are over 140 PC game Pass titles compatible with GeForce Now and that number is growing quickly.
