Activision Blizzard gets its games from game streaming service GeForce Now

GeForce Now, officially introduced last week, has to do without Activision Blizzard’s games. As a result, Nvidia’s game streaming service will lose popular games such as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Overwatch.

The removal of support for Activision Blizzard’s games has been reported by Nvidia itself on the GeForce Now forum. The company states that the removal is at the request of Activision Blizzard, but Nvidia does not give a reason. “It’s a shame, but we hope to continue working with Activision Blizzard to make these games and more accessible again.”

Nvidia further claims that other developers have registered more than fifteen hundred games to add to the service. In any case, the departure of Activision Blizzard is a big downer for Nvidia and users of GeForce Now. A week ago, Nvidia took the service out of beta, so anyone can now purchase the service. This is possible for free with an unlimited number of play sessions of up to one hour and paid for temporarily 5.49 euros per month, whereby the playing session can last up to six hours.

On the GeForce Now forum, customers are expressing dissatisfaction with the way things are going, with some complaining about Activision Blizzard, while others blaming Nvidia for this message coming so soon after the service’s launch.

With game streaming service GeForce Now, players can run their previously purchased games on Nvidia servers. Gamers have to link their games on platforms such as Steam, uPlay and the Epic Games Store to Nvidia’s service. Nvidia must also provide support for the game in question on its servers. A link was possible with Battle.net games, but after the withdrawal of Activision Blizzard, it is probably no longer there.
