Sarah Bond, the Corporate Vice President of Xbox, has announced a 10-year partnership with NIVIDIA, a computer parts manufacturer known for their Graphics Processing Units. It gives GeForce NOW access to Xbox users and other Microsoft devices.

Microsoft and NIVIDIA have joined together to bring cloud gaming to Xbox devices as well as support to iOS, Android, MAC, and SHIELD TV. The partnership gives Xbox players the ability to stream games via the native GeForce software. Last year, Xbox announced its plans to bring Cloud Gaming to connected devices.

In the statement, Sarah Bod, Corporate Vice President of Xbox, stated:

"We’re thrilled to share that starting today, NVIDIA GeForce NOW cloud gaming members in the U.K., the U.S., the European Union and around the world can stream Gears 5, and on May 25 will be able to enjoy fan-favorites Deathloop, Grounded, and Pentiment. This is just the beginning stage of our forward-thinking 10-year partnership with NVIDIA to make PC games from Xbox Game Studios and Bethesda available to their GeForce NOW members. Together, we’re accelerating access to players around the globe by letting them choose how and when they game."

Bond also announced that they will be bringing PC games to Xbox via GeForce NOW in the coming months:

"Members will be able to stream PC hits from Xbox Game Studios and Bethesda purchased through Steam or Epic Games Store (for eligible games) on PC, Mac, SHIELD TV, and Android devices – or by visiting play.geforcenow.com on Chromebook and iOS Safari. Our teams are also working to bring support for games purchased through the Microsoft Store in the coming months."

NIVIDIA also announced on their site that you will have two different resolutions based upon your subscription:

"GeForce NOW Priority members can skip the wait and play Gears 5 or one of the other 1,600+ supported titles at 1080p 60 frames per second. Or go Ultimate for an upgraded experience, playing at up to 4K 120 fps for gorgeous graphics, or up to 240 fps for ultra-low latency that gives the competitive edge."

This announcement comes on the heels of Amazon announcing an open world MMO set in the Lord of the Rings universe. 2023 and 2024 seems to be an exciting times for gamers.
