Big Nvidia GeForce NOW Upgrade Adds Support for Major Activision Games
01.03.2024 - 16:52 / gamerant.com / Dominik Bo
The Nvidia GeForce Now library has expanded to encompass a handful of high-profile Activision Blizzard games, including Diablo 4 and multiple recent Call of Duty entries. These additions are just the tip of the streaming platform's late winter content iceberg, with GeForce NOW already confirming nearly two dozen new arrivals for March 2024.
As part of its efforts to get the Activision Blizzard acquisition over the finish line, Microsoft signed content licensing agreements with a number of streaming platforms over the course of 2023. This was meant to convince European regulators that the company wouldn't try to monopolize the nascent cloud gaming market by withholding titles like Call of Duty from Xbox Cloud Gaming rivals. One of those agreements was made with Nvidia, which later even went to bat for Microsoft to defend its Activision Blizzard acquisition.
Less than a year later, this collaboration started yielding some user-facing results. Specifically, a February 29 update to GeForce NOW saw the platform incorporate support for select Battle.net titles. The first wave of those additions comprises Diablo 4, Hearthstone, and Overwatch 2. The Call of Duty HQ app is also part of the package, allowing GeForce NOW users to stream Modern Warfare 2, Modern Warfare 3, and Warzone.
