A few days ago, we informed you about the removal of all the Activision Blizzard games from NVIDIA’s streaming service, GeForce Now. And earlier this week, the green team explained the reasons behind their removal.
According to NVIDIA, the removal of these games was due to a misunderstanding between the green team and Activision.
“Activision Blizzard has been a fantastic partner during the GeForce Now beta, which we took to include the free trial period for our founders membership. Recognizing the misunderstanding, we removed their games from our service. We hope hope we can work with them to re-enable these, and more, in the future.”
According to reports, Activision Blizzard wanted to negotiate a new commercial agreement before its games were available on GeForce Now. However, NVIDIA had stated that it does not currently plan to have commercial agreements with game publishers. Obviously, this displeased Activision and the publisher decided to remove its games from this service.
NVIDIA claimed that it hope it can re-enable them in the future. However, there isn’t any ETA on when such a thing may happen.
Stay tuned for more!

Great content! Super high-quality! Keep it up! 🙂
Activision Blizzard being absolute kuntz again? I’m shocked… shocked, I tell ya.
Hopefully this project meets the same end what Stadia does. F*k streaming services, it’¨s just another way to control what users get. But most of us are sheep so they dont care and tune in happily to Netflix shows
You’re stupid.
Unfortunately, gamers are too dumb to say no to something that’s very bad for them. Throw a few exclusives and they’ll flock to streaming like sheep.
Not only gamers, people in general.
yeah, excalty and nowadays everyone and their grandmother games. Gaming brought it 150$ billion in profit in 2019. Movies 50 billion. Music 25 billion. Gaming has surpassed ALL forms of entertainment (probably not sportss). TONS of stupid people in the world and now that means TONS of stupid gamer.
Exactly!
F* the streaming game services…
You should probably get a clue what you’re talking about before you talk again.
You have to already own a game to use GFN. It’s entirely useless if not. It is nothing like Stadia whatsoever. There is no version of Now where you can play any game, not one single game, for free, or for a fee, if you don’t already have that game.
Geforce Now isn’t competing with Stadia or PS Now. They’re competing with Valve, who offers the same service for free.
Netflix has literally nothing to do with this and you’re just spouting ignorant ranting BS like most of the wannabe contrarians on this site. They produce more original content than most TV networks do in a year, combined. Also a completely different type of service.
I know you need to own the game. Where did i say that you don’t need to own them?
miscalculation of shares
“When a greedy company meets an even more greedy company”,,,and i like Nvidia.
Not enough money to makes for the greedy Blizzard/Activision

Hi John, may i suggest you renew the picture you use for nvidia articles… Try something maybe 10 years newer, lol. Greetings, love your site!
Absolute complete MORONS.
I am a Geforce Now founder subscriber (not that you can actually pay for it until May when the trial ends).
You literally can’t play a game through GFN unless you already own it.
So there’s no reason for any publisher to be pulling their games.None. None whatsoever. They already made the money off of the game, and there is literally no possible way even tangentially that GFN causes them to lose a sale. Money, yes, probably, because they probably have to pay Nvidia to offer the machines on which to install the game.
No doubt the service will double or triple in price, at least, in the future to counter that, and it would still be cheap.
