NVIDIA GeForce NOW disappoints gamers with new 100 hour playtime cap
NVIDIA’s upcoming changes to its GeForce NOW service might come as a disappointment to many gamers, particularly with the introduction of a 100-hour monthly playtime cap for the Performance and Ultimate memberships. Starting in 2025, members will face this limit, which seems like a step backward for a service that has marketed itself as offering seamless and unrestricted cloud gaming. For those accustomed to extensive play sessions, this change could be a serious drawback, raising questions about the true value of the paid tiers.
While NVIDIA claims that 94 percent of current users won’t be impacted by the cap, it’s a shift that feels restrictive and may leave the more dedicated gamers feeling constrained. For those who push beyond the 100-hour mark, the company offers the option to buy 15 extra hours at $2.99 for the Performance tier and $5.99 for the Ultimate tier -- essentially putting a meter on premium gaming.
