I think Microsoft might actually turn GeForce Now into a very strong competitor thanks to these deals...

  • They're already Microsoft's #1 rival.
  • GeForce Now is technically superior (in latency, resolution, framerate) to xCloud.
  • Nvidia has their own data servers just like Microsoft, only they can upgrade them easier and quicker than Microsoft.
  • GeForce Now supports K&M while xCloud doesn't.
  • GeForce Now currently has a larger library.
  • GeForce Now will now have a free license for all XGS, Zenimax and ABK content (Lol) for 10 years.

Really, Microsoft's only advantage now is that xCloud is attached to Game Pass and now xCloud might be crippled in UK as well, haha.

Yes, 100%, It's cool that MS is attempting something with Xcloud, but the way things are now, they clearly just want to offer the feature without much of having it be a point of focus where they need to innovate on a continual basis.

I think Microsoft is better to create an environment where partners can thrive on this than really single things out. Kinda the same way MS partners with software development companies everywhere in the world for the development of custom software solutions that they could very well offer themselves but don't, it create a more focused separation of concern and an area where every actor could thrive and be more efficient.
