Microsoft's relationship with Nvidia continues to blossom, with Xbox today announcing it's now "enabled" GeForce Now integration on its official store pages.
To reiterate, this will allow users to launch supported games on GeForce Now via the Xbox.com game page. Below is the announcement, courtesy of Xbox's social media account. As you can see, a GeForce Now banner will appear just below Xbox Cloud Gaming.
When you click the Nvidia GeForce Now button on the store page, you'll be taken to the GeForce Now website, where you can sign in and play.
Since Microsoft entered a 10-year agreement with Nvidia, the GeForce Now streaming service has continued to bolster its offerings with all sorts of releases. We've already seen series like Forza Horizon and Minecraft on the service, and even Bethesda's newest IP Starfield.
While today's update is just a minor one, it illustrates how Microsoft and Nvidia are slowly evolving the GeForce Now streaming experience for Xbox users.
Have you tried out Nvidia's GeForce Now streaming service? How about Xbox Cloud Gaming? Let us know.

Is there games we can't play on Xbox on this at all? Read something other day saying could play pc games on Xbox using this anyone know about it?
I think MS is playing smart here. 1) It helped their merger case. 2) It keeps them working together vs competing against each other. If GP isn't alluring for those that typically only play a few choice games, Gforce could easily gain traction and muscle out Xbox. This keeps players connected and gives players one less need for a console. Any game on GP available on GForce can be played anywhere you have access to GForce. You don't need the Xbox app. The GForce app is already widely supported on a varieties of TVs.
This is potentially BIG news. GeForce Now is much better quality than Xcloud. Will have to test it to see if this holds up in practice, but if it does streaming to becomes much more viable.
Expensive, but this kind of salvages the cloud use of game pass because Microsofts own streaming is kinda bad.
Every game should now have 2 buttons
*Play instantlyish on Xbox Cloud
*Play instantly on a good platform.
@Decimateh yeah,It's a PC gaming cloud sub (RTX 4080 rig or 4060 rig), so it's the PC version of Game Pass included here.
Smart move : the GFN streaming quality is unmatched and with PC gamepass the combo is ultimate
Next step, expand the GFN library with ALL the PC gamepass games and ALL play anywhere games at least and make login to pc gamepas games from GFN smoother too.
I’m not getting this. Still just giving me Xcloud only
Account connection failed
We were unable to connect your account. Return to the GeForce NOW app and try again later.
I keep getting this. @liam_doolan
@MjJmediablogger Sorted. It’s an extra expense but it makes cloud gaming worth it. Xcloud is poor but through Nvidia it’s how it should be.
I tried linking my xbox account on geforce now. But it fails every time. Does anyone else have this issue?
@MjJmediablogger yeah me too. Doesn't work.
@CutchuSlow Basically I have found that if you find a game that you have in your Xbox library and then select that you own the game and instead of clicking - connect now - skip that and it will get you to log in via Microsoft and will then take you to the game.
The performance is way better than Xcloud BUT it is all very fiddly. It certainly doesn’t work from the Xbox store.
@MjJmediablogger thank you will try that. Does it work with any gamepass game or does it have to be a game you own on xbox?
As long as the game is in your library - so if you have it in your library it is mostly fine but o have noticed that performance is very sketchy on certain games.
It’s crazy that to get a cloud gaming service that runs as well as Luna and even Stadia did, that we have to pay another £20 a month. Spencer and Xbox are taking the p1ss
So @Liam_Doolan I have now been though every game via Xbox.com from the UK they should be playable on GeForce Now. Not ONE game offers the ability to launch with GeForce Now.
I’ve even set VPN to USA and still no different.
The only this way this works is by setting up Nvidia GeForce App and then choosing your game. You can’t even connect your Xbox account.
You have to sign in every time.
Whilst performance is brilliant at times on 4K rig, it’s a real faff and it’s disgraceful that Xbox basically wants you to spend another £20 to get Xcloud to be worth playing.
And performance through GeForce now is often unreliable.
Worth doing a deeper dive into this as it’s certainly not ‘integrated’ at all.
