Hinterland Studio isn’t the primary group to take away its games from Nvidia GeForce Now. A couple of weeks in the past, Activision Blizzard also pulled its entire oeuvre from the service, which noticed the departure of titans like Call of Duty and Overwatch.
“Per their request, please be advised Activision Blizzard games will be removed from the service,” reads the official Nvidia forum post. “While unfortunate, we hope to work together with Activision Blizzard to re-enable these games and more in the future.”
