Nvidia GeForce NOW Capping Monthly Playtime at 100 Hours

Nvidia on Thursday announced it will start capping the number of hours that GeForce NOW players can game on the service each month. The company will charge an additional fee for more game time.

Performance (formerly called Priority) and Ultimate subscribers will get 100 hours of gameplay a month starting in January 2025. Players can roll over up to 15 hours of unused playtime to the next month. Performance subscribers will be able to purchase 15 additional hours for $2.99, while Ultimate subscribers can purchase the same number of hours for $5.99.

Current GeForce NOW subscribers that have a paid membership as of December 31, 2024 will continue to have unlimited playtime until January 2026.

Nvidia says that the limit should comfortably accommodate 94% of members, who typically enjoy the service within this timeframe. Members can check out how much time they’ve spent in the cloud through their account portal.

The Performance plan, priced at $9.99 per month, provides subscribers with access to a GeForce RTX with 1440p streaming quality. The Ultimate plan is priced at $19.99 per month and offers a GeForce RTX 4080 and 4K HDR 120fps streaming.

Nvidia will continue to offer a free plan for entry-level cloud gaming, as well as day passes priced starting at $2.99.
