Microsoft Signs New 10-Year Deal with Cloud Gaming Startup Nware

wccftech.com:

Microsoft isn't done fighting for its proposed $68.7 billion merger with Activision Blizzard. Following the decision of the UK's Competition and Markets Authority to block the deal to prevent what they believed would be dangers to the nascent cloud gaming market, Microsoft has now signed yet another 10-year deal with a cloud gaming platform, following the contracts with NVIDIA's GeForce NOW, Boosteroid, Ubitus, and EE.

This time, the beneficiary is Madrid-based startup Nware, which provides servers in Madrid and São Paulo to stream PC games via a Windows PC client, Android mobile, or Android TV. I couldn't find detailed specifications on Nware's server capabilities, though the website mentions 16GB of RAM and 4GB of VRAM for streaming up to 1080p@60FPS, provided you've got at least a 10Mbps connection. There are two main ways to get access to your games through Nware, as detailed on the company's website:

Right now our catalog integration feature inside the THUMBNAILS section works with Steam. If you have your licensed games purchased in Steam, you’ll be able to sync your Steam account with Nware and play your games in the cloud. There is a specific section in the Nware app where you can sync your Steam profile so that your game library can show up under your personalized ‘My Games’ section. For example, if you have already purchased a game on Steam, you don’t have to purchase it again to play it on Nware. On the other hand, if there is a game that you would like to play but you have not yet purchased it, you will be redirected to the Steam website so that you can make that purchase and afterwards update your game catalog in Nware. If you leave Nware in the future, you will not lose your games nor your progress.
