Nvidia will soon be showing adverts to calm queue rage for free tier users of GeForce Now

Nvidia GeForce Now.

When Nvidia launched GeForce Now back in 2020, the game streaming service bucked the trend of most media companies by offering a completely free membership. With no strings whatsoever, other than a time restriction on the gaming session, there was little to complain about. That's still the case now but users of the free tier will soon be shown adverts while they're waiting in a queue for a server space to become available.

The change will commence March 5th, according to The Verge who reported the news, and you could be looking at up to 2 minutes worth of ads. I guess that's how long Nvidia estimates the average queue time to be, but if it's longer, does that mean you'll see more? That's not clear at the moment, but we won't have long to wait before we'll know for certain.
