Knowing that Microsoft bet heavily on Xbox Cloud Gaming, it has been years without taking the last step and offering it as a comprehensive service. And now, for even more surprise, certain images have been leaked that seem to indicate a Possible Nvidia GeForce Now integration on Xbox consoles. A move that may be surprising, as it would allow PC games to be played on an Xbox console, through this Cloud Gaming service.
Some images leaked by the insider Ecstasy in The same insider assures that this agreement could be announced imminently, and would bring Nvidia's platform to Xbox consoles.
There is speculation about the possible integration of Nvidia GeForce Now on Xbox consoles, offering access to games as a more Cloud Gaming service
This may be, to say the least, striking. Not only because Xbox has its own Cloud Gaming platform which offers the same ability to play games without installing them on the console. In fact, it is a very useful tool for users who did not make the jump to Xbox Series They are distributed on Xbox One, although they have to be available on Game Pass.
In addition, this service was now being included in Nvidia GeForce Now, especially aimed at PC players who did not have hardware capable of playing games. That is the purpose of GeForce Now, whose advantage would not be to play PC games from the Game Pass catalog or those that were available on console. This option by which The integration of Nvidia GeForce Now on Xbox consoles would take place, It would be helpful if products that were not already on consoles were imported, such as Euro Truck Simulator 2 for example.
At the moment, Nvidia GeForce Now is the Cloud Gaming platform most powerful on the market, with over 25 million subscribers. The deal that allows it to bring Game Pass games, or Xbox games that weren't there before, to its service has given it a very powerful strategic advantage.

If you don't add non-Xbox games, something that would have to be seen if it could cause any conflict with legal issues (as is the case with the Nintendo emulator on other platforms), this option doesn't seem to make much sense.
And this happens just when there is talk that Xbox could have a totally digital future, even that the Xbox Cloud Gaming service could take the step we have been waiting for for a long time. That of being able to play your games anywhere through the streaming service.
Therefore, it is better to wait until this really becomes official, since the leaker in question has not provided a source other than those images. They may seem like evidence, but they usually are when they are accompanied by the proper information that contrasts what they say, since, after all, the modern insider lives off the income that the fanbase to whom he addresses gives him. Even Jez Corden or Jeff Grubb have skated on that issue. What will this mean about the integration of Nvidia GeForce Now on Xbox consoles?
