Minecraft is coming — and maybe Call of Duty.
Practically speaking, Nvidia plans to roll out just a few games a week, says Eisler. The company doesn’t have the capacity to do more than maybe 10 games per week at present, he suggests. While Nvidia plans to make the first Microsoft games available in the next few weeks from Steam and the Epic Games Store, he estimates it’ll take between six and 12 months to enable the Microsoft Store catalog and enable all existing games.
That’s just an estimate, by the way. Eisler says the deal came together just last week, and the companies “haven’t worked on detailed implementation plans yet.” The big question in my mind: if I have the rights to play a game because I subscribe to Xbox Game Pass, will I be able to play those games on GeForce Now? Will Microsoft make me buy the game all over again? Eisler won’t say. “We have no announcement about Game Pass right now.”
When I ask him yes or no — “does the contract give you the rights or not?” — he says simply: “I can’t answer that question.” It wouldn’t be surprising if Game Pass is entirely separate: in 2021, Microsoft gaming boss Phil Spencer made it clear that studio acquisitions like Bethesda were aboutBut it also wouldn’t surprise me if Microsoft did agree to let Game Pass subscribers play those games on GeForce Now. If Microsoft’s already getting its money, why not let Nvidia shoulder the server costs? I suppose it depends how much Microsoft cares about its own cloud gaming future.
