Nvidia has announced that it plans to implement a limit on the time players can use its GeForce Now game streaming service.
In a post on the GeForce Now Reddit page, the company announced that starting in 2025, players will have an allocation of 100 hours per month.
It says these limits will affect members of its Performance and Ultimate subscriptions. Performance costs $9.99 per month and offers 1440p streaming, ray tracing, and 6-hour long sessions, while Ultimate costs $19.99 per month and offers 4K 120fps/1080p 240fps, HDR, ray tracing. rays and sessions lasting 8 hours.
“Early next year, GeForce Now will implement a 100-hour monthly playtime allotment to continue delivering exceptional quality and speed, as well as shorter queue times, for Performance and Ultimate members,” the company explained.
“This broad limit comfortably accommodates 94% of members, who typically enjoy service within this time period.”
Nvidia also said that up to 15 hours of unused playtime will automatically roll over to the next month, theoretically giving players up to 115 hours, and that if players exceed their monthly limit they can pay an additional $2.99 for 15 hours. of performance streaming, or $5.99 for 15 hours of Ultimate.
Although the 100-hour limit begins “early next year,” Nvidia says existing active paid members, or those who sign up for a membership before December 31, will not be affected for another year, which which means that the limit will only apply from January 2026.
“As long as a member’s account remains uninterrupted and in good standing, they will continue to receive unlimited playtime throughout 2025,” he explained.
Players with a Founders membership “will still have unlimited hours of play for life,” Nvidia says, but if they upgrade to another membership like Ultimate, the limit will apply.
The service’s free membership, which is ad-supported, has the longest queue times and only offers players one hour of play per session, will not have the 100-hour limit.
