Since NVIDIA announced its GeForce Now streaming service is out the beta and that it will start charging subscribers, many important publishers removed their games. According to them, NVIDIA didn't ask for permission before letting people play their games on GeForce Now, whereas until a few months ago, the service was in beta and available for free to everyone.

One by one, companies like Activision-Blizzard, 2K, Square Enix, Bethesda, CAPCOM, Microsoft and Warner Bros. asked NVIDIA to remove their games from GeForce Now. On the other hand, publishers like Epic Games and Ubisoft confirmed their support to NVIDIA service and promised to bring all their games to GeForce Now as they're released.

Although many subscribers lost faith in the service and even decided to cancel their subscriptions, NVIDIA continues to work behind the scenes to try and bring back some of the lost titles. Earlier this week, NVIDIA announced that it managed to convince Square Enix to make its catalog available to GeForce Now subscribers once again.

Starting this week, 14 Square Enix titles can be streamed on GeForce Now, including BATTALION 1944, Boundless, Deus Ex: Human Revolution - Director’s Cut, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, Just Cause 3, Just Cause 4, Life is Strange, Life Is Strange 2, Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration, Shadow of the Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition (RTX On), Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition, Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance, The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit, and Tomb Raider (2013).

Currently, NVIDIA's GeForce Now service allows subscribers to play more than 500 games from at least 200 publishers. Although the number of games Square Enix added to the service this week isn't that high, it's a clear sign that NVIDIA is trying to negotiate with major publishers their return to GeForce Now. It remains to be seen whether or not the company will be successful.
