Xbox Game Pass on Switch sounds great, but don’t forget about Nvidia

Microsoft is prepping its Xbox Game Pass and xCloud streaming service for the Nintendo Switch, according to a Direct Feed Games report. Direct Feed Games has a reputation for getting Nintendo rumors right, which is why so many people are taking this seriously. But while this deal may be in the works, it doesn’t quite add up as someone looking at it from the outside. And there’s one reason it doesn’t make a lot of sense: Nvidia.

Nintendo and Microsoft are chummy with each other — especially compared to Sony’s relationship with either company. Microsoft’s Minecraft and Xbox Live are already on Switch, which enables crossplay with PC and Xbox One. But that relationship doesn’t compare to the partnership between Nintendo and Nvidia.
