Activision Blizzard just pulled its

games from Nvidia’s GeForce

Now, and that sucks

N

vidia and Activision Blizzard

seem like close partners. Call of

Duty: Modern Warfare is one of

the biggest games to take

advantage of the real-time ray-tracing

capabilities in modern GeForce graphics

cards, and games like Overwatch have graced

Nvidia’s GeForce Now for most of the

gaming-from-the-cloud service’s multi-year

beta. But a mere week after GeForce Now

fully launched and obliterated Google

Stadia’s value proposition (go.pcworld.com/

gnow), Activision Blizzard’s games are being

yanked from the service at the publisher’s

request, effective immediately.

No more playing Overwatch on your crappy

old laptop. No more Diablo III on your phone.

No more playing the latest World of Warcraft
