Kane99 Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 Looks like Microsoft and NVIDIA are teaming up to get Xbox PC games to work through NVIDIA's cloud service GeForce Now, similar to what Xbox has with their game streaming options. Now you can play these games through NVIDIA. My guess is that they did this because not everyone is into Xbox and probably don't want to download the Xbox app. Now they can play these games through GeForce Now.

Empire Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 This is interesting, because prior you couldnt just buy a xbox game and stream it for free. You had to get Game Pass for xcloud regardless if you owned the game. With Geforce Now you don't have to subscribe to a service to stream a xbox game anymore. Also this includes PC games that you can't even stream on Xbox itself like Fallout Tactics and other ancient bethesda titles, though perhaps that might be about to change which is great because I'd love the option to pick what version of a game I want to stream as I play on both Fallout 76 PC and Xbox.

Hmm, I didn't know that. I always thought if you owned the game you could still stream it through xcloud. Unless it's been changed recently? I get wanting to charge something for streaming, especially since it takes so much to do it. I imagine it costs these companies a lot of server power and costs to handle.

To a point you can but you have to pay to stream and use the game. Also the game sthat we or you might want to play might not even be supported. At least you can give it a try for an hout but the waiting line is sooooooooooooooooooooo Longggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Techno Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 It's rather cool that we'll be able to do this. But I dont really think this will effect most people as there are only 20 million subscribers on GeForce Now and I can't see this making them grow all that much bigger.

killamch89 Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 I'm not really sure what to make of this - I guess it's a good thing...Honestly, it might interest a good few gamers but most probably wouldn't care as they hardly use GeForce Experience anyways.

Shortie Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 This might actually be a good thing for Xbox and their PC games. As you stated, many people don't want to have to download the Xbox App to be able to play games through their service and if you are like me and are on Windows 10, the version of the Xbox App available doesn't work for me anymore and I would need to upgrade to Windows 11 to gain access to it again like I used to, something like this would be ideal for those who also can not gain access to the Xbox App. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so I may consider trying to stream games more often and see how it does. 20 minutes ago, Shortie said: This might actually be a good thing for Xbox and their PC games.

Nintendo has been working with them more and I know they were in talks about getting Xbox live and all that on the Switch. I don't remember whatever came of it, but I bet they could easily add Xbox streaming on the Switch, or even the PlayStation in the future if PlayStation allows it.
