Nvidia is clamping down on playtime for players of its GeForce Now cloud gaming service. The trillion-dollar company announced it will introduce a "100-hour monthly playtime allowance" at the start of next year. Hardcore gamers who might hit the 100-hour limit can extend their playtime with a small fee.
This change is purportedly designed to help keep GeForce Now's "exceptional" quality and speed consistent and provide short queue times specifically for Performance and Ultimate players. Nvidia says the 100-hour limit is generous, with only 6% of its entire GeForce Now user base actually being impacted by the change. 100 hours of playtime gives players three hours per day of game time if they play every day for an entire month.
