Part of the Steam library is available on Xbox via GeForce Now

Modern technologies are expanding the capabilities of Xbox consoles. Now, fortunate owners of Microsoft's console can access selected games from the Steam library

Now Xbox console owners will be able to play many games from the Steam library. The GeForce Now cloud gaming service and the updated Microsoft Edge browser will help make this possible.

The update added native GeForce Now support to Microsoft Edge, which means games can now be streamed on Xbox consoles as well.

Many games from the Steam library, including titles with multiplayer modes, are available on GeForce Now. A journalist from The Verge emphasized that Edge supports keyboard and mouse input, making it possible to play CS: GO without a gamepad.

However, at the moment, this is not an “ideal experience”. The issue is input latency, which negatively affects the multiplayer experience, and a virtual keyboard may also pop up on key presses.

Earlier, dataminers found a God of War page mentioning Steam in the NVIDIA GeForce NOW database prior to the official announcement. Later, other exclusives were discovered, such as Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection (officially announced for PC).
