Gears 5 is the first Microsoft-published game Available on GeForce NOW

Microsoft and NVIDIA recently joined hands to bring Xbox games to NVIDIA’s cloud gaming platform GeForce NOW. This 10-year deal will integrate Xbox PC titles into GeForce NOW, whether they were purchased via the Microsoft store, Steam, or Epic Games Store. 

Gears 5 is the first game published by Microsoft to be available on NVIDIA GeForce NOW, provided that it has been purchased on Steam. NVIDIA and Microsoft are currently working to add Microsoft Store support to GeForce NOW which will take a couple of months. 

There are several more first-party Microsoft games scheduled to be added to GeForce NOW soon. Arkane Lyon’s Deathloop and Obsidian’s Grounded/Pentiment combo will be available on GeForce NOW in the next week. 

Gears 5 is the fifth main installment of the Gears of War series. It follows Kait Diaz who breaks away from the enemy forces to uncover her connection to Sera. Players can also enjoy this war-ridden game in a three-player campaign co-op mode.

Along with Gears 5, players can also stream The Outlast Trials, via Steam Early Access, and Tin Hearts which was launched on Steam a few days back. Players should keep a lookout for the enticing titles coming to the cloud gaming platform.

NVIDIA has announced a new Version 2.0.52 for the GeForce NOW app on PC and MacOS. This update adds promotional tags which can be found on featured games. These tags will showcase new DLC, discounts, free games, and help players navigate exciting ongoing offers on the GeForce NOW library with over 1600 games.
