NVIDIA has announced that starting January 1, 2026, each GeForce NOW cloud gaming subscription will be limited to 100 hours of play time per month. The company is implementing its long-lasting promise revealed in 2024, with the option for users to purchase additional play time as needed. Under the standard Performance tier, which costs $9.99 per month, after the 100-hour play time is reached, users can buy extra 15-hour blocks for $2.99 each. For the Ultimate tier, priced at $19.99 per month, additional 15-hour blocks are available for $5.99 each.
Since months are averaged to about 30.437 days, any play time exceeding the 100-hour limit is rounded up to the next 15-hour block, potentially leading to extra charge if someone wants more play time. For instance, playing around three hours per day (approximately 91 hours per month) remains within the base fee, but playing four hours daily (about 122 hours per month) results in extra costs of approximately $15.97 on the Performance tier or $31.97 on the Ultimate tier.
i am the ideal customer for this type of service. i don’t have a gaming computer, and I don’t want to own a gaming computer, but I want to dip into new titles as they come out and indulge once in a while.
i tried geforce now and the waiting rooms and the time caps make it unusable to me. i am paying for convenience here, and yet I can’t play when I want to play, and I get kicked if i play for too long or if I make a coffee. and then I wait again. im paying money to wait in a line on the internet.
im trying to sneak video games into the small amount of time that I have, and it’s not letting me do that. there’s actually no ideal customer for this service. it’s a product that doesn’t make any sense. they can suck my balls with this shit
