NVIDIA Partners With Electronic Arts to Bring Hit Games to GeForce NOW
September 30 2021 - 9:00AM
NVIDIA today announced that Electronic Arts is bringing more of its
hit games to the NVIDIA® GeForce NOW™ cloud gaming service,
beginning with Battlefield™ 1 Revolution, Mirror's Edge™ Catalyst,
Unravel™ Two, Dragon Age™: Inquisition and Apex Legends™.
GeForce NOW membership has more than doubled in the last year,
giving Electronic Arts access to more than 12 million gamers.
Collectively, over 20 million hours of gameplay are streamed each
month via GeForce NOW, from 30 data centers in more than 70
countries.
“GeForce NOW expands the reach of the GeForce PC gaming
experience to reach millions of underserved gamers on new devices
and in new regions,” said Jeff Fisher, senior vice president of the
GeForce business at NVIDIA. “It’s an opportunity for Electronic
Arts to get some of their most beloved franchises into the hands of
a rapidly growing global audience instantly.”
The Cloud Catalyst to EA’s Next Massive
AudienceGeForce NOW allows Electronic Arts games to be
played with legendary GeForce® performance by gamers who may not
have a gaming PC— that includes more than 1 billion underpowered
PCs and incompatible devices, like phones, tablets and Chromebooks.
Nearly 80 percent of the devices that currently access GeForce NOW
would not otherwise be capable of playing the latest PC games.
GeForce NOW is connected to the most popular game stores —
including Steam and Epic Games Store — a win-win for developers and
gamers. No additional development work or porting is required of
developers, while gamers get access to hit titles from their
library without having to purchase the games again, or having to
deal with hefty downloads, patches and updates. Electronic Arts
games can be added quickly to GeForce NOW through regular “GFN
Thursday” releases.
Stream It NowFive games from some of Electronic
Arts’ most popular franchises are available on GeForce NOW,
starting today. Members can stream Battlefield 1 Revolution to
experience immersive untold stories of World War I; become a heroic
leader and restore order against agents of chaos in Dragon Age:
Inquisition; solve puzzles with the family-friendly Unravel Two; or
dive into a fast-paced, free-running adventure with Mirror’s Edge
Catalyst.
These additions from Electronic Arts join one of the most-played
games on GeForce NOW, Apex Legends. The high-speed hero shooter has
already been streamed by more than 1 million members.
Global AvailabilityThe initial set of
Electronic Arts games is streaming today in more than 70 countries,
including through the GeForce NOW Alliance network — a partnership
of operators using NVIDIA RTX™ Servers and NVIDIA cloud-gaming
software to expand and provide the GeForce NOW cloud gaming
experience globally.
Alliance partners in Russia, Turkey, Korea, Japan, Taiwan and
Saudi Arabia were recently joined by new regional operators in
Australia, Singapore, Brazil and select other South American
countries.
