The natural synergy between the Minecraft RTX beta and GeForce Now gives Microsoft a real opportunity to show it’s serious about its next-gen goal of giving players the freedom to choose how they want to play. Not having the Minecraft RTX beta available on GeForce Now runs counter to the heart and soul of the player-centric, any-game-anywhere vision that Microsoft has been promoting for months. And players who don’t have a Windows PC powerful enough to run the beta get to play the game in all its glory.
Nvidia wins because it gets its own exclusive version of the game. Microsoft wins because it gets its game on another platform. ( Minecraft is currently available on Windows 10, Mac OS X, Linux, PlayStation 3 and 4, Xbox 360 and One, Android, iOS, Windows 10 mobile, and Windows Phone 8.) There doesn’t appear to be any reason to keep Minecraft off GeForce Now.Īdding the Minecraft RTX beta to GeForce Now seems like a win for everyone. Whether it will support the fully path traced ray tracing seen in the Minecraft RTX beta is unknown.Īs far as selling the game, Microsoft owns Minecraft and it makes money no matter which platform it’s played on.
The GPU will support some form of ray tracing, but it’s made by AMD, not Nvidia. In fact, the chips were designed from the very beginning to work in both platforms. The server blades used to stream xCloud from Microsoft’s data centers will be running the same CPU/GPU combo that’s in the Series X. Digital Foundryīut wait, you might say, doesn’t streaming ray-traced Minecraft on GeForce Now compete with Microsoft’s plans to stream the game on xCloud? Maybe.
