Nvidia's cloud gaming service shows ads
@ 2024/02/29So much for a free trial with no catch
Nvidia's cloud gaming service GeForce Now is about to be a bit less of a bargain - on 5 March after Nvidia announces that users will start seeing ads.
The adverts are only for the free tier, and users will see up to two minutes of ads while waiting in queue to start a gaming session.
Nvidia spokesperson Stephenie Ngo said that the free tier often means waiting in line for a remote computer to free up before every hour of free gameplay - now, there'll be a few ads while you wait.
Nvidia says the ads should help pay for the free service tier, and it hopes the change "will cut average wait times for free users over time."
