Bethesda has decided to remove its games from GeForce Now

Forget about free streaming Bethesda games like Skyrim, Fallout, Doom and the like. It's not going to happen.

Nvidia GeForce Now's streaming service may have been tried by more than a million users, but this figure does not impress record companies that make no profit. First, Activision Blizzard withdrew its games from that platform, and only a week later we learned that they had pulled the same move from Bethesda.

So, it will no longer be possible to play on GeForce Now: TES V: Skyrim, Doom (2016), Dishonored 1 & 2, The Evil Within 2, Fallout 3, New Vegas and Fallout 76, Wolfenstein 1 & 2. Only Wolfenstein: Youngblood remains on offer as one of the few raytracing-enabled games.

The reason why record companies pull games with GeForce Now is that Nvidia does not currently want to pay any compensation to the owners of the rights to those games. In other words, game publishers make no financial profit from having players stream their games through GeForce Now.

In Nvidia, they hope that game publishers will get better in the future and see the benefits of the streaming platform. One such benefit is that thanks to the GeForce Now service, people who wouldn't buy it without the streaming option can decide to buy a game because they don't have a strong enough computer to run the game.
