Nvidia on Thursday began rolling out early access to its GeForce Now cloud gaming service in India, with access opening in beta from Thursday. Gamers can join a waitlist to receive invitations on a first-come, first-served basis. GeForce Now allows users to stream PC games directly from the cloud without requiring high-end hardware. It works across devices such as PCs, Macs, smartphones, smart TVs, and handheld consoles, and supports libraries from platforms including Steam, Epic Games Store, Xbox Game Pass, Ubisoft Connect, and GOG.

As part of the early access phase, Nvidia is offering 90-day passes priced at Rs. 999 for the Performance tier and Rs. 1,999 for the Ultimate tier. An additional 200GB of persistent storage can be purchased for Rs. 299 for the same duration. A free tier is expected to be introduced in the coming weeks, the company added in a press release.

The rollout of GeForce Now in India is powered by Nvidia's Blackwell-based RTX 5080 SuperPOD infrastructure. The company says these servers deliver up to 2.8 times faster performance than previous generations and more than three times the performance of leading consoles. Each instance offers up to 62 teraflops of compute performance and a 48GB frame buffer, enabling advanced AI-driven rendering, ray tracing, and DLSS features, according to the company.

The service also offers a Cinematic Quality Streaming mode that uses AV1 encoding, AI-based video enhancements, 4:4:4 chroma, and 10-bit HDR to improve clarity, colour accuracy, and motion.

GeForce Now currently supports more than 4,500 titles, including over 100 free-to-play games such as Counter-Strike 2, as well as titles like Cyberpunk 2077, Forza Horizon 5, and upcoming releases like PRAGMATA. The company says new games will be added to the platform on a weekly basis.
