Nvidia director Andrew Fear recently addressed the 100-hour monthly playtime limit introduced for GeForce Now’s paid Performance and Ultimate tiers.
Fear explained the reasoning: “We understand everyone’s concern and that everyone is upset about it, but we’re trying to find a way to make sure that the people who are abusing our service are not taking away capacity from everyone. That’s the first principle.”
On potential improvements, he responded positively to suggestions for a true unlocked tier with no monthly cap:
“They’ve even asked us about offering an unlocked tier plan. Yeah, we’re thinking about it. We’re thinking about other options.
We haven’t announced new things yet, but we’re definitely looking at new ideas for plans and ways to let people get additional playtime. One could be a family plan.”
Current tiers include Free (1-hour sessions, lower priority), Performance (6-hour sessions), and Ultimate (8-hour sessions with RTX 5080-class servers and highest priority).
