Support NeoGAF

The end of a dream:

Yesterday Nvidia officially announced that God of War (2018) was on its way to its game streaming service, GeForce Now, the best part of all is that the game is now available.

So, if you're a subscriber to Nvidia's gaming service, just buy your copy of God of War (2018) and enjoy the title with all its graphics maxed out.

But unfortunately not everything is good news, as it is no secret, it is possible to use GeForce Now on Xbox via browser, you are free to play practically everything that is available on the streaming service, but (again), Sony has decided to block God of War (2018) and the game is not available to be played via browser on Xbox

It was reportedly playable for a couple hours:

God of War on Xbox Series X? We are not crazy, with GeForce Now you can

We know what you are thinking …. God of War on Xbox is simply impossiblebut in reality thanks to the arrival of the game on the GeForce Now platform it is possible to play with the adventure of Kratos and Atreus also on Microsoft consoles. God of War is available on GeForce Now from April […]

Does Sony know about people playing PS2 games on their Series consoles?

 

[nominedomine]

Called it, once Xbox warriors started using it as a way to make Sony look bad they were going to pull it. It's a shame that NVidia actually listens to publisher they shouldn't have any say.

edit: now that I'm reading into it, it looks like it was never available to begging with, all Sony published games are blocked.

I wouldn't be surprised that only once they realized people were doing that did they actually thought it was a good idea to make their own legacy catalog available to play on their current devices, lmao

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

Lol and people think all of Bungie's games are going to come to Xbox

 

[solidus12]

Anti-consumer Sony lol

[mejin]

It was our chance. A sad day to all green brothers.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Lmao, this is petty as fuck but thh I didn't even know you could use Geforce now on xbox.

 

[Warnen]

Seems petty

I used to play Ps4 games on my iPad via streaming. Hope apple doesn’t get wise and block that..

 

[GymWolf]

Many soners right now

 

[dotnotbot]

Many soners right now

Another win for PlayStation Nation™

 

[Bogroll]

Can you still play on the Ps5 browser ? Oh I forgot not got one yet unless I jump through hoops that I can't remember.

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

Another win for PlayStation Nation™

This wouldn't have been possible without Bryank and his militia

 

[adamsapple]

That's so petty of them

But it's not the first time, probably won't be the last time.

 

[GymWolf]

[M1chl]

Cringe as fuck, also while we are at it, don't block GamePass cloud on PS5....
...well as far as I know, they don't have a browser there...
...hmm

 

[FingerBang]

This is so hilarious hahaha. I mean, it's really stupid, which makes it even more fun.

Lol and people think all of Bungie's games are going to come to Xbox

...dude, Sony literally confirmed that lol

Lol they didn't. Jim played with his wording like usual

 

[adamsapple]

It was actually playable as of 9~10 hours ago. Looks like someone in Sony HQ made quick panic'ed calls overnight to NVidia

Its funny you think you can somehow relate this back to bungie games lol.

 

[sn0man]

Sony doesn’t give a crap about PrePS4 titles unless they can monetize a remaster. (Sadly.)

 

[SlimySnake]

If they dont want GOW to become multiplatform then maybe dont put it on PC. Just a thought.

 

[SJRB]

Just get a PlayStation™, you plebs.

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

Its funny you think you can somehow relate this back to bungie games lol.

It shows their stance on PS games being playable on Xbox. Yeah, it's pretty easy to relate the two.

 

[Umbasaborne]

Lmao petty as fuck sony at it again, first they were protecting the children from cross play

 

[jaysius]

Many soners right now

Yup, that's how petty they really are.

It's amazing that Xbox has such a fully functional browser that you can use Geforcenow on it.

I'm sure there are ways around this block.

 

[adamsapple]

It shows their stance on PS games being playable on Xbox. Yeah, it's pretty easy to relate the two.

 

[intbal]

Nice try, Sony.
But I can still play all your Playstation games on my Xbox. Take that!

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

I'm surprised they were on top of this ahead of time . . . this sounds like it would have been a great loophole that would take about a week to shut down.

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

Can't tell if you're being serious or not. We all know why that franchise is on Xbox and Switch

 

[wolffy71]

Safe to say that most of those consumers have a pc anyway. They've already obviously bought an xbox so its kinda pointless to restrict it tbh.

 

[adamsapple]

Can't tell if you're being serious or not. We all know why that franchise is on Xbox and Switch

We literally don't know what Bungie's terms of deals are. For all we know, continued multi platform development was a core tenant.

Their PR and blog post after the acquisition news broke certainly makes it sound like that.

 

[remember_spinal]

Its ok, you can still play Ryse Son of Rome on Xbox, its like the same thing

 

[Zannrebel]

I don't think MLB the show is on GForce now either.

 

[Hezekiah]

And rightly so

Same as Activision and Bethesda. The games and franchises that aren't affected are stated clearly (Destiny, COD, Deathloop etc.)

Beyond that it's left open for interpretation for a reason

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

What does MLB have to do with it?

 

[SLB1904]

Competition pull games from the Competition.
Quick everyone makes pikachu faces

 

[Topher]

Probably don't want Aaron Greenberg turning this into some weird twitter promo. Would not put it past him.

Edit:

 

[TrebleShot]

Don’t bother playing GFN on Xbox its
The worst way to play it.

 

[remember_spinal]

I could def see him doing that too

Sure, I agree with you on both counts. The one thing we can do is wait till the deal is closed, at that point Sony/Bungie will probably start making more concrete and truthful statements.

Phil/Bethesda didn't start talking about Starfield only coming to platforms with Game Pass until after the deal closed.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

LOL. Sony cares that much about streaming God of War on Geforce Now through Xbox. Tough luck for the 7 people wanting to do it.

It doesn't matter really, if playstation sees putting their games on xbox will harm their plans they will pull the plug. And same goes for xbox

 

[adamsapple]

They did the same for Death Stranding.

You can't search for that game on Geforce streaming when using the Xbox Edge browser.

It doesn't matter really, if playstation sees putting their games on xbox will harm their plans they will pull the plug. And same goes for xbox

But letting Geforce Now games run on Xbox browsers doesn't hurt them in any way lol, you need to have separately purchased the games to be able to run them via Geforce Now anyway.

So anyone who wants to stream has already put down money on the game.

This is just a move out of spite/pettiness, nothing more.

 

[Goalus]

Microsoft could easily re-enable it if they made their Edge browser behave like the desktop version when connecting to GeForce Now.

If GeForce Now doesn't know the browser runs on Xbox, they can't block it. And there is nothing Sony can do about it.

Aside from take it off GFN, you think they didn’t make this deal without this being at the forefront of their minds?

Sony will never allow their big first party games to be played on the competitors console in anyway shape or form

 

[Vognerful]

Nice try, Sony.
But I can still play all your Playstation games on my Xbox. Take that!

Now you mention this, I really miss the snap feature on original Xbox.
