Following a bunch of long-term contracts granted to the likes of Nvidia, Boosteroid, EE and more, Microsoft has started adding its titles to these third-party cloud streaming services. Last week, Xbox announced that four games were hitting the Nvidia GeForce Now library in the coming days, and now it has made a similar commitment to Boosteroid.
Starting June 1st, the same four games offered to Nvidia will launch on Boosteroid - those being Xbox first-party titles Deathloop, Gears 5, Grounded and Pentiment.
More games will be heading to these services in the coming weeks and months, including Activision Blizzard titles if and when the ongoing acquisition is approved around the world.
As mentioned, more cloud services were also granted similar contracts earlier this year, so expect Xbox to start adding these games, and others, to those services in the weeks and months ahead. Ubitus, Nware and EE are among the other beneficiaries so far.
Which games would you like to see hit these cloud gaming services next? Let us know.

playing 3d chess aren't we
Suspiciously convenient how they're porting games so suddenly to cloud platforms following the CMA'a concerns of future cloud monopolies.
Eerie really that they didn't care as much prior and it's a "small market".
@GADG3Tx87 @Moonglow Phil Spencer really has stayed true to his word.
Play gamepass on Xbox, PC, Steam Deck, Smart TV’s, and Phones.
10years on other services exposes their IP’s to new gamers, then make exclusive to Game Pass.
Wish people could see the reason Game Pass isn’t on PlayStation. Phil Spencer said 7 or 8 years ago that he hopes PlayStation Plus, Nintendo Plus, and Game Pass could be on each others console, eliminating exclusives.
@Kaloudz im sure they made an agreement that has activision deal to be completed as requirement....
And im sure activision wont be delivering there games to those services if deal isnt complete
I see this as no obligatory act by MS to make CMA concerns looks silly...
@TakeItEasy The CMA and FTC concern's are silly. When Sony joins cloud gaming, who do you think will be the leader?
The top leaders are Tecent and Sony. Most developers Tecent, Sony, and Embracer Group.
CMA math is wrong. This deal closes. No one gets hurt and Microsoft raises in the market a little.
Microsoft wanted this buy in order of reason. 1. King, this helps with mobile and King has a lot of developers. 2. Blizzard, really helps the PC market. Sony even bought PC only developers. 3. IP’s, helps blow up Game Pass. 4. More developers and studios. 5. Call of Duty, it’s just a bonus. I don’t think they care about COD has much. CMA tried to get them to sale Activision and keep the two. That defeats 3 and 4.
@Deshalu
in one way i agree on PS having an advantage on player base
but Sony is a hardware company even PS4 dashboard and menu was slow as hell when loading game info and DLCs in bottom and i have 200Mb internet!
Microsoft is the king of software companies and cloud services outside and inside gaming and i can't see sony beating them right now on cloud gaming (maybe if they use azure cloud and share profit with MS
PS: i feel like your comment is like im pointing finger on MS, but im not i just say the real motive behind this move, MS is a software company and they should use their advantage and build on it
@TakeItEasy that’s not it at all but I do get the vibe that a lot of people defend Sony, when Sony is the monopoly in the console market.
Phil didn’t lie when he said they’ve already lost the console war.
That’s why Microsoft is thinking outside the box. game pass is where they’re making the majority their money. problem is they can’t ditch the Xbox because if they do that, and bring GamePass onto PlayStation, in order for it to be on PlayStation they’re going to demand a percentage of what game pass makes. That’s not what Microsoft wants.
@Deshalu Phil is smart guy and he know how to play with poeple emotions and media thats actually the his best aptitude his social skills.
So a guy like that will go on s**tinb on his brand for no reason? His not a devoloper or some small guy his the CEO of Xbox
So what then? In my opinion xbox got lot of heat on redfall disastrous lunch so much that poeple were ready to sell there xbox, he got on there to hit 2 birds with 1 rocks 1.take the blame and absorb the heat
2. Is to get poeple sampathy by looking weak and direct media from " xbox sucks and deserve the hate" to "oh what if xbox is no more we need compitition....even sony fanboys and big ponies like dreamcast guy showed compassion! Imagine
And also he show to be the small guy to get ABK approved
Xbox is going no where and yes they are in tight position but with MS supporting them they will get on top its just about time (5years?10?30?)
@Kaloudz thats facts, it almost look like they want to block this just to showoff and feed there ego
What the CMA pretty much did was the foolish part of blocking Microsoft, effectively locking the gate after the horse has bolted.
CMA: "By blocking the ABK deal, we're stopping Microsoft growing their cloud gaming monopoly."
Reality: Microsoft, making deals WITHOUT ABK being on the table at the moment, is growing the 'cloud monopoly' anyway.
Literally, if this was about Cloud Gaming, the CMA shouldn't have put an injunction in place to stop them going ahead with the merger, they should have filed a suit to cancel the 10 year deals that are now going ahead without any restrictions.
