I doubt any gamer would complain about their favorite titles being added to more services, but someone may ask why Microsoft is adding so many games to the library of a competitor. While NVIDIA and Microsoft compete in the cloud gaming space, there’s still a clear path to monetization when Microsoft puts games on NVIDIA GeForce Now. NVIDIA provides a platform for game streaming but the revenue from in-app purchases and game purchases still goes to Microsoft (or Steam or whichever platform is involved).

The list ofNVIDIA GeForce Nowtitles expands regularly, often adding support for the most popular titles as they start trending. WithGamescom 2024going on right now, there’s plenty of buzz in the gaming world. The expansion of GeForce Now’s available games should help entertain gamers for a while and hold folks over until some highly anticipated titles ship.
