At a press event following the Xbox showcase on Sunday, Sarah Bond, head of gaming partnerships, announced that the PC Game Pass library will soon be available as part of Nvidia's GeForce Now streaming service The announcement was made at a press event. Just a few months ago, we called GeForce Now's new ultimate layer (which streams cloud games from systems with the powerful new RTX 4080) one of the most effective and affordable ways to upgrade your gaming experience.
"In the coming months, you will be able to leverage GeForce Now to play our PC Game Pass catalog.
"You'll be able to play it on any device that has GeForce Now on it (low-power PCs, Macs, Chromebooks).
However, a post on the Xbox website adds a little asterisk to this quote, noting that "Game Pass members will soon be able to stream select PC games from their library through Nvidia GeForce Now." No indication was given as to how many games "selected. The announcement expands on the Xbox-Nvidia partnership launched in May, which will make first-party Xbox PC games available through the streaming service.
GeForce Now currently allows users to stream a selection of games they own via their Steam library through a deal Nvidia has set up with developers and publishers. There are free, $10, and $20 tiers, with the free service limited to one-hour sessions, low PC performance, and low streaming fidelity. The higher tiers extend to 1080p and 4K resolution, 60fps and 120fps. And of course, RTX ON.
Bond did not say exactly when PC Game Pass and GeForce Now will be tied together, but the Xbox post reiterated that the rollout will begin "in the coming months."
