With the recent arrival of over a dozen Xbox Game Pass games on Nvidia's GeForce Now, fans have more of a reason to check the streaming service out. This includes a mixture of old and new games. Players will be able to revisit classes like Age of Empire and Quake at their leisure. But if the mood strikes, they can switch over to modern classics like Wolfenstein 2 and No Man's Sky.
It should be noted that, like with other titles on the service, players must have purchased these through the Microsoft Store to stream them through GeForce Now. Alternately, Xbox Game Pass subscribers can dive right into them. Since these streamed renditions will be mirrored from Nvidia's ecosystem, players can enjoy solid performance and visuals for high-end games like Deathloop.
