Microsoft will bring Xbox’s PC titles and Activision Blizzard games like Call of Duty to Nvidia’s GeForce Now cloud streaming service.
The deal will allow anyone with an Nvidia Geforce Now membership to stream Microsoft’s games on PC, Chromebooks, mac OS, and other devices.
“Xbox remains committed to giving people more choice and finding ways to expand how people play,” Phil Spencer, Microsoft Gaming CEO, said in a press release. “This partnership will help grow Nvidia’s catalog of titles to include games like Call of Duty while giving developers more ways to offer streaming games. We are excited to offer gamers more ways to play the games they love.”
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.

“Combining the incredibly rich catalog of Xbox first-party games with GeForce Now’s high-performance streaming capabilities will propel cloud gaming into a mainstream offering that appeals to gamers at all levels of interest and experience,” Jeff Fisher, senior VP for GeForce at Nvidia, added. “Through this partnership, more of the world’s most popular titles will now be available from the cloud with just a click, playable by millions more gamers.”
This announcement comes mere hours after Microsoft’s new deal with Nintendo, which will bring Call of Duty to the publisher’s consoles. Both deals are part of an ongoing effort by Microsoft to ensure its $68.7 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard gets approved by regulatory bodies.
