Although the price for India is yet to be unveiled, it is likely to be pegged to global standards. The special features—including DLSS and Ray Tracing—that define the Ultimate subscription tier make it highly priced for certain users.
There are both free and paid tiers for GeForce Now, with the free tier allowing gaming in full HD for up to an hour. The paid Performance tier extends playtime and supports resolutions up to 1440p at 60 frames per second. NVIDIA also announced that Ultimate memberships would soon become available in India. This membership offers the best deals in terms of providing the best experience with the least time in queue, 100 hours of gaming a month, and the ability to play in 4K at up to 240fps—a premium gaming experience.
Global expansion of GeForce Now
In addition to India, GeForce Now will launch in Colombia, Chile, Thailand, and Peru, building upon NVIDIA’s commitment to expanding the territory of cloud gaming worldwide. This expansion allows game enthusiasts to enjoy gaming with maximum quality, even if they do not have a high-end system to support such capabilities. The announcements made by NVIDIA at CES 2025 highlight the rapid advancement of cloud gaming. By using powerful GPUs and innovative AI, NVIDIA is setting a new standard for what gamers can expect from cloud-based platforms.
