Microsoft has signed a 10-year agreement with Nvidia to bring all of its games to the GeForce Now cloud gaming service. Here’s what to expect based on a conversation with Nvidia VP Phil Eisler.

Microsoft is trying to convince the entire world that it should be allowed to buy Activision Blizzard for $69 billion — and it just bartered for Nvidia’s support, signing a 10-year contract that gives Nvidia the right to stream Xbox PC games over its GeForce Now cloud gaming subscription service.

Sound neat? Just remember that we’re just talking about streaming rights for games that you’ve already purchased and games that are free to play — and even then, you shouldn’t expect to have access to every Microsoft game right away. GeForce Now doesn’t sell games. Unless they’re free to play, you have to buy them from Steam, the Epic Games Store, and / or the Microsoft Store for now — and possibly Battle.net in the future should the Activision Blizzard deal go through.
