Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Launching on Nvidia's GeForce Now Tomorrow

Activision’s Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Launching on Nvidia's GeForce Now

On Friday, October 25th, Activision is set to release Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 on Nvidia’s GeForce Now game streaming service, coinciding with its launch on all other platforms.

This marks a significant milestone as it is the first time a Call of Duty game will be available on GeForce Now on the same day as its official release. The decision is a result of Microsoft's recent acquisition of Activision Blizzard and its ongoing deal to bring these blockbuster games to Nvidia.

The Impact of Microsoft's Acquisition

Over the years, new Call of Duty titles have enjoyed exclusive content deals with PlayStation. However, under Microsoft's guidance following their purchase of Activision Blizzard, a new agreement with Sony was formed. This agreement focuses on ensuring that all future releases of the franchise will receive equal access across platforms.

Compromises Made for Parity

To reassure regulators during the acquisition process, Microsoft made several compromises. Key among these was the commitment to introduce Activision Blizzard's games and selections from the Xbox PC game library onto Nvidia’s streaming service. Additionally, Microsoft promised that Call of Duty titles would also make their way to Nintendo platforms.

GeForce Now Enhancements

Nvidia's GeForce Now service is further expanding its offerings by including Call of Duty HQ, a dedicated launcher that provides access to the game titles Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III and Call of Duty: Warzone, both of which are available on Xbox and PC Game Pass.

Upcoming Releases on GeForce Now

• Call of Duty: Black Ops 6
• Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III
• Call of Duty: Warzone

Conclusion

The launch of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 on Nvidia's GeForce Now marks a new era for the popular franchise, showcasing the benefits of strategic acquisitions and partnerships between tech giants. As players eagerly await the October 25th release, the landscape of gaming continues to evolve with expanded access and cross-platform parity.
