JAKARTA - During his press conference in Brussels Tuesday, February 21 yesterday, Microsoft said it would create its PC Xbox game to be available on Nvidia's cloud gaming service, Nvidia GeForce Now.

Announced by Microsoft president Brad Smith, the decision was made as an attempt to convince EU regulators to approve the long-proposed acquisition of Activision Blizzard.

"Microsoft will bring its Xbox games that can be played on PC to the Nvidia GeForce Now cloud gaming service. We will also present all the Activision Blizzard titles including Call of Duty to GeForce Now," Smith quoted The Verge as saying, which was also present at the event.

With today’s agreements with NVIDIA and Nintendo, we will bring Call of Duty to 150 million new devices. That will serve consumers AND advance competition. https://t.co/koCNCiWOYI

This deal is a 10-year deal, which was previously Microsoft's commitment to presenting its games on other streaming platforms. However, you still have to buy the games one by one on Nvidia GeForce Now.

Nvidia VP Phil Eisler did not tell what games will be available on its cloud gaming service, whether all the games on Xbox Cloud Gaming or Xbox Game Pass are available. To be sure, you will be able to view Microsoft's games on the Nvidia platform.

In exchange for this agreement, Nvidia now publicly supports Microsoft's agreement for its acquisition of Activision Blizzard, which has yet to be completed.

This partnership provides gamers with more options and resolves Nvidia's concerns with Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard. Therefore, Nvidia offers its full support for regulatory approval for the acquisition," reads another part of Nvidia's press release.
