Cloud gaming is one of those things that seems to be trying to catch on. With the announcement of theNvidiaShield several years ago, as well as itsGeForce now streaming service, it seems as though there is the potential for a market there, but it looks as though the GPU company is potentially going to do itself a bit of a disservice with its latest announcement.
A recent report indicates thatNvidiawill be doubling the price of its GeForce Now service to reflect the increased popularity of it. It seems as though its Founders Tier will be making way for a new Priority tier, which will cost around $10 per month as opposed to $5. As the name suggests, this tier will give paying customers priority access to its gaming servers, and will include extensions to login sessions, which will see play sessions stretching from one to four hours.

On top of that, this new, although still sort of similar to the old, tier will enable RTX ray tracing andDLSS support for some games. Nvidia has also said it will be looking to add even more features to the service, which could see the company putting emphasis on things like V-Sync support, as well as upping its weekly releases from 10 to 15 titles. All of this is still yet to be fully confirmed, however.
Over the last few months,Nvidiahas been the talk of many PC enthusiasts who are still unsure about the future of its GPU stock. With talks that newgraphics cards may not become readily available until 2022, it is a bit of a tumultuous time to be a PC gamer. With the word that GeForce Now will cost twice as much for new and returning customers, it’s entirely possible that people will not be happy with recent developments but its apparent that the company is trying to keep itself relevant in the gaming market, especially considering its only competition when it comes to cloud gaming is Google’s Stadia.
