“…Game Pass members will soon be able to stream select PC games from the library through Nvidia GeForce Now…”

Do you want me to subscribe to Game Pass and GFN? Because this is how you get me to subscribe to Game Pass and GFN…

On a more serious note, this reads a lot like a move by Microsoft to convince government investigators that they aren’t planning to edge competing cloud services out of the market.

Also, I’m going to reserve my enthusiasm until I’ve seen the games list.

      That was my thought. It seems like you’d be paying twice to stream games. I’m not sure if GeForce NOW is available on platforms that xCloud isn’t though. That’s the only way this makes sense to me. For example, Android TV, but I haven’t bothered to look it up.

    • You can only stream console games with xcloud. GFN would be able to stream the pc only games included on gamepass. That on top of better quality streaming and support for inputs besides a single controller can make GFN a valuable choice for game streaming over just xcloud. It sucks that you would be paying for two game streaming services thou.
