GeForce NOW is going atomic as it returns with another new crop of games for subscribers this week. And quite honestly, the list of titles being added today definitely includes at least a couple of really intriguing options. All of this also comes on the heels of a pretty big announcement from NVIDIA and Microsoft. On February 21, the two companies announced a contract agreement that will see Call of Duty and other Activision games brought to the GeForce NOW cloud gaming service.
Pending Microsoft getting the approval for the Activision acquisition of course. For those who have been around for GeForce NOW’s more humble beginnings, this is a pretty big announcement. Some Activision games were available to stream during the service’s closed beta. But were later pulled as Activision left the program. So if things play out as Microsoft and Activision hope, GeForce NOW subscribers could be playing CoD in the cloud by year’s end.
Not just CoD though, potentially Blizzard titles as well, including World of Warcraft, Diablo IV, Hearthstone and others.
Atomic Heart joins the GeForce NOW library alongside five other games
Atomic Heart is a brand-new game that just released and it’s bound to look stunning on high-end PCs. Luckily, you won’t need a high-end PC to take advantage of the game’s best graphics features. Because it’s available on GeForce NOW starting today. And if you subscribe to the Ultimate membership, then you can play the game with graphics powered by the RTX 4080 SuperPOD. Which activates features like DLSS 3 and more.
Atomic Heart is also one of six new games joining GeForce NOW this week. The other five games include Blood Bowl 3, Chef Life: A Restaurant Simulator, Sons of the Forest, Ember Knights, and Cartel Tycoon.
Xbox PC games are coming
The Microsoft partnership has the potential to really blow up the GeForce NOW game collection with new games from Activision Blizzard. But part of the agreement includes bringing Xbox PC games to the service as well. NVIDIA says it’s now working with Microsoft to integrate Xbox PC games. This will kick off with PC games from Xbox Game Studios that you can find on Steam and the Epic Games Store.
Neither company mentions any titles by name. But with a little research you can probably make some good assumptions. Gears 5, Halo Master Chief Collection, Halo Infinite, Microsoft Flight Simulator X, Pyschonauts 2, Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice, Battletoads, Sea of Thieves and more are all games that come from XGS that could be viable candidates. So look out for them.
