Xbox Games Coming to Boosteroid Cloud Gaming Platform in June

Boosteroid users in the US, UK, EU and Ukraine will be able to stream eligible Microsoft-owned games that they purchase from Steam or the Epic Games Store, supporting Microsoft Store purchases and other titles on the way, Engadget reports.

“We’ll be regularly adding more hits and fan favorites from our extensive catalog of PC games,” Sarah Bond, corporate vice president of Xbox, wrote in a blog post.

This will make Boosteroid the second third-party cloud service where Microsoft will make its games available (Game Pass Ultimate subscribers can stream all of these titles via Xbox Cloud Gaming, too), and NVIDIA GeForce users have now been able to stream Gears 5 since May 18th. Deathloop, Grounded, and Pentiment will land on GeForce Now later this week.

Microsoft has signed 10-year deals with NVIDIA, Boosteroid and other cloud gaming providers to provide those platforms access to Xbox and Bethesda games, as well as PC versions of Activision Blizzard titles if that company’s takeover bid passes, and it made those agreements to try to convince regulators to agree to the deal. $68.7 billion deal.

While the takeover has been sealed in dozens of regions, most recently China, cloud gaming has been a sticking point for regulators in some countries. The UK’s competition watchdog blocked the deal, claiming it would cement Microsoft’s leading position in the emerging cloud gaming market.
