NVIDIA announced that a new partnership with Electronic Arts will see the company bring several of their biggest titles to NVIDIA’s GeForce NOW cloud gaming service. The first five games to be added following the agreement were: Battlefield 1 Revolution, Mirror’s Edge Catalyst, Unravel Two, Dragon Age: Inquisition, and Apex Legends. GeForce NOW allows for games to be played with legendary GeForce performance by users who may not have a gaming PC— that includes more than 1 billion underpowered PCs and incompatible devices, like phones, tablets, and Chromebooks. Nearly 80% of the devices that currently access GeForce NOW would not otherwise be capable of playing the latest PC games.
“GeForce NOW expands the reach of the GeForce PC gaming experience to reach millions of underserved gamers on new devices and in new regions,” said Jeff Fisher, senior vice president of the GeForce business at NVIDIA. “It’s an opportunity for Electronic Arts to get some of their most beloved franchises into the hands of a rapidly growing global audience instantly.”
GeForce NOW memberships have more than doubled in the last year, giving Electronic Arts access to more than 12 million gamers. Collectively, over twenty million hours of gameplay are streamed each month via GeForce NOW, from thirty data centers in more than seventy countries.
GeForce NOW is connected to the most popular game stores — including Steam and Epic Games Store — a win-win for developers and gamers. No additional development work or porting is required of developers, while gamers get access to hit titles from their library without having to purchase the games again, or having to deal with hefty downloads, patches, and updates. Electronic Arts games can be added quickly to GeForce NOW through regular “GFN Thursday” releases.
