Ubitus is a cloud-based gaming service who currently provides streaming support for the Nintendo Switch’s cloud-based library of games. Neither Microsoft nor Ubitus have made any comment as to whether this cloud agreement relates to the company’s relationship with Nintendo. Microsoft has previously signed a similar agreement with Nintendo themselves to bring feature complete versions of Call of Duty to Nintendo platforms for the next ten years.
