The NVIDIA GeForce Now Rockstar catalog disappears due to a possible exclusivity agreement with Google Stadia

The disappearance of the entire Rockstar game catalog from NVIDIA GeForce Now sparks endless rumors about an exclusivity agreement with Google Stadia.

It seems that Google is beginning to outline the Stadia catalog, which aims to be very beast. A few days ago he disappeared from NVIDIA GeForce Now the game Grand Theft Auto V. It quickly began to speculate that it could be that Google took the exclusivity of this game on cloud platforms. This measure has been extended to the entire catalog of games owned by Rockstar.

GeForce Now is a cloud gaming service designed for Shield with a price of about 8 euros per month. It has a catalog of more than 100 games that run in the cloud and we can play them without the need for advanced hardware. Google Stadia competes directly with the NVIDIA platform and it seems that he has stolen the Rockstar catalog.

Rockstar withdraws its catalog from the NVIDIA GeForce Now platform

After knowing the disappearance of GTA V from NVIDIA's service, rumors pointed to a deal with Google. Rockstar is one of the best valued companies today with two great franchises such as Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption. By removing the entire catalog, rumors about an exclusivity with Google increase.

A Reddit user has asked on the NVIDIA channel the reason for the withdrawal of the games. From the company they have said that "It was a decision of Rockstar to eliminate them". This makes it clear that it is not because NVIDIA is dismantling its platform, far from it.

From my point of view, this points to a brutal agreement between Google and Rockstar. The constant lag of the PC version of the Red Dead Redemption 2 It makes me think it was only coming to Stadia. If this is confirmed, the blow on the table from Google would be very strong and would put a new player in the war between Steam and the Epic Games Store.
