Xbox has sneakily dropped a huge update to their services that allow you access to more games than ever.
With pretty much no fanfare, aside from anannouncement made on Twitter, it seems that Xbox has now partnered with GeForce NOW to integrate their service into the rival cloud gaming platform.

According to theXbox website, “Xbox has partnered with NVIDIA GeForce NOW and Boosteroid to bring first-party titles to more players.”
Essentially, this means that when you choose to stream your games via the cloud you can opt to use the GeForce NOW servers rather than Xbox’ own, meaning more variety for folks where Xbox Cloud Gaming isn’t as well supported.
You can also see this as a big win for quality as, more often than not, the GeForce NOW servers offer a higher bitrate for visual quality, higher framerate for stability, and less latency.

It also seems that having a Game Pass subscription will give you access to the same games on GeForce NOW, although they’d likely be the PC versions of the games;
