Alongside Epic Games, Ubisoft has announced that it is fully supporting NVIDIA’s cloud gaming service, GeForce Now. As such, PC gamers can enjoy most of the Assassin’s Creed games. They can also play the two The Division games and the latest Far Cry games via this service.
As Chris Early, SVP of partnerships and revenue for Ubisoft, told Kotaku:
“Ubisoft fully supports NVIDIA’s GeForce Now with complete access to our PC games from the Ubisoft Store or any supported game stores. We believe it’s a leading-edge service that gives current and new PC players a high-end experience with more choice in how and where they play their favorite games.”
Of course, Ubisoft’s stance should not really surprise us. After all, the French company has a strong relationship with NVIDIA. So yeah, it was a given that it would support its service.
On the other hand, 2K Games has already requested the removal of its games from GeForce Now. 2K Games is the third big publisher that requested such a thing. The other two are Bethesda and Activision.
Stay tuned for more!

“with more choice in how and where they play their favorite games.””
Which is why we’ll force you to use Uplay even when you buy the game on Steam.
Classic Ubi.
Too bad because I stopped supporting Ubisoft when they left Steam and got in bed with Epic Games and Tencent.
Should have stopped supporting them when they started homogenizing all of their games and pumping out yearly trash.
Finally something you and I can agree on. Because they were never on Steam. I don’t know why people think using 2 launchers to use a game is acceptable and means it’s “On Steam”.
They were on Steam before 2010.
Their games were never really “ON STEAM”. Using 2 launchers to launch game is R$Tarded.
Well done. ?
Do you get paid ten cents each time you shill for Tencent?
Ahahahahahahahahaahaha ten cents !!
Not a surprise since both Epic and Ubisoft are owned by Tencent.
BUT only 5% for Ubisoft… Still this is such a f* shame
Ubisoft were always a bit dodgy going back to the days of supporting the Everquest EU servers. Their BS with Valve and jumping in to bed with Epic must have hurt them a little so it’s no surprise they are trying to win favour with this stunt.
Ahahahah no surprise here !!!

Nvidia GeForce Now Membership Selling Out Amid Coronavirus Outbreak
Nvidia’s GeForce Now has been subject to heaps of setbacks through developers pulling out of the service.
Nevertheless, it appears that Nvidia’s game streaming service is still quite the success, as the Founder’s Edition slots in Europe are all sold out with the company expecting the U.S. to follow soon.”As you can imagine, we’re experiencing a substantial increase in the number of GeForce Now players and their amount of
playtime.” an Nvidia spokesperson said this week. “As a result, our Founders memberships are currently sold out in Europe, and we anticipate North America won’t be far behind.
We suspect that the increase in activity is due to the COVID-19 outbreak, as much of Europe is in lockdown, with people unable to go to work, cafes, clubs, group meetings shut down and general recommendations or obligations to stay home.

Amazon planning its own Cloud Gaming Service dubbed “Project Tempo”
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/02/technology/amazon-making-video-games.html
https://www.techpowerup.com/265377/amazon-planning-its-own-cloud-gaming-service-dubbed-project-tempo
In a report by the New York Times, plans by Amazon to launch a new cloud
gaming product in the already crowded field were detailed. Dubbed “Project Tempo” the project has reportedly been in development for several months and at the cost of several hundred million dollars. Amazon hopes to develop new AAA games to accompany the launch of the service which will integrate with its popular game streaming platform Twitch.
The project is one of Amazon’s largest investments in original entertainment since its founding, and places them in a prime position to compete with Google’s Stadia, Microsoft’s Project xCloud, NVIDIA’s GeForce NOW and the countless other game streaming platforms.
One advantage Amazon possesses is its vast network of data centers as part of Amazon Web Services which will play a significant role in ensuring the service achieves the minimal latency required for an optimal experience. Amazon’s vice president for game services and studios has stated: “The big picture is about trying to take the best of Amazon and bringing it to games” in regards to the game making process. The first of Amazon’s major game releases will be New World a fantasy MMO in May which will be followed by more games throughout the year, primarily targeting hardcore gamers.
