This move marks Boosteroid as the second external cloud service where Microsoft is making its games available. Game Pass Ultimate subscribers can already stream these titles via Xbox Cloud Gaming. Notably, NVIDIA GeForce Now users have been enjoying the ability to stream Gears 5 since May 18th, and Deathloop, Grounded, and Pentiment will soon be added to the GeForce Now platform later this week.
To expand the accessibility of Xbox and Bethesda games, as well as PC versions of Activision Blizzard titles (pending the completion of the acquisition), Microsoft has inked 10-year deals with cloud gaming providers such as NVIDIA and Boosteroid. These agreements were strategically made to persuade regulators to approve the proposed $68.7 billion merger. While the acquisition has been approved in numerous territories, including China most recently, cloud gaming has been a point of contention for regulators in some countries.
