The GeForce Now cloud service started unsuccessfully. In the first month, Activision Blizzard and Bethesda left him. But now other major publishers are campaigning for the platform: Epic Games and Ubisoft.

Tim Sweeney was the first to speak out in support of GeForce Now.
The head of “epics” said that his company is entirely on the side of Nvidia. Epic Games considers GeForce Now subscription to be the “friendliest” in the streaming services market — both for game authors and for players. That’s because it does not take a commission from developers (unlike the creators of Steam and the same Epic Games Store).
Sweeney assured that Fortnite will not disappear from the service. But as for other games available in GeForce Now to Epic Games Store users, the issue of access to them will be decided by the developers themselves.
“Epic sincerely supports Nvidia’s GeForce Now service along with Fortnite and titles (including exclusive ones) from EGS, whose developers are interested in this. Over time, we will improve integration (with GeForce Now),” Sweeney wrote.
Epic Games is confident that Nvidia’s attempt to spread the independence of games from platforms and stores leads to the recovery of the industry. Ubisoft developers agree with them. They also promise full access to their PC titles in the Ubisoft Store, Steam and other supported stores via GeForce Now.
“We consider GeForce Now to be an advanced service with which current and new PC players will get a first-class experience, as well as a choice of how and on what to play their favorite games,” Ubisoft said for Kotaku.
Earlier, GeForce Now lost Activision Blizzard and Bethesda games. A new wave of dissatisfaction with the service rose when Nvidia arbitrarily added the Hinterland Studio game to it — without the consent of the developers.
In addition, the GeForce Now library lacks games from EA, Capcom and many other publishers who helped test the platform. The reasons remain legal. You can read more about this in our material.
