2K Games becomes the third major publisher to pull its games from GeForce Now

2K Games has pulled its games from Nvidia’s GeForce NOW game streaming service. It is the third major game publisher after Bethesda and Activision Blizzard to take that step. 2K releases games like Borderlands 3, Civilization VI, XCOM 2, and BioShock.

The Verge writes that neither Nvidia nor 2K have responded substantively to the removal of the games. In the beta period of the service, 2K games were common. Incidentally, Activision Blizzard and Bethesda have also not explained why they prefer not to have their games available on GeForce Now.

GeForce Now is a service similar to Google Stadia; Nvidia makes gaming hardware available for a monthly fee and users can stream the images to their PC, smartphone, tablet or Shield media player. Users still have to buy their games separately. GeForce Now supports platforms such as Steam, uPlay, the Epic Games Launcher and Battle.net.

In early February, GeForce Now was released to the general public, after a period of beta testing. The service has a limited free variant and for 5.49 euros per month, gamers can have longer gaming sessions and RTX effects are on. That is a temporary introductory price, which applies throughout 2020.
