- GeForce now has no plan available at all for the moment
- Day passes will be back in a few weeks, we are told
- Waiting for complete subscriptions could be much longer, due to the transition from Nvidia to a new payment system for the service
NVIDIA’s GeForce NVIDI NOW streaming service is currently open to any new subscription – on any From his plans – and apparently, this situation will not change any soon.
Polygon reports that he has heard of Nvidia spokesperson Stephenie Ngo, the pass of this day come back for too long, the NGO informing us that the new inscriptions for one day should come back in “About two weeks”.
However, it will be a good time longer before the complete subscriptions (monthly and biannual) that most players want to get back into play, and we have not been told exactly when. Thus, those who are tired of not being able to buy an RTX 5080 or 5090, and plan to go to the storm of the playing pond, are rather without luck.
We were given a reason for this disruption via an official announcement pronounced on the Sanforce Now Sandredit. This is because Nvidia goes from a third-party payment processing system to use these tasks itself.
The firm said: “We expect the transition to take a minimum of 5 weeks.”
Ouch. However, there are good news for existing subscribers, which will not be billed during this period.
NVIDIA noted: “From January 31, 2025, invoicing will be canceled while we are transitioning payment services. Even if you will not be billed, your account remains in good standing. »»
Analysis: Combo with high request for payment payment
Aside from the free time granted to existing subscribers, which is clearly a good bonus for those who already use the streaming platform, it is also good news (in theory) in the longer term. Hope is that it shows a commitment to GeForce now, because bringing this system internally is not a small business for Nvidia, as we can see on the duration of the time of stopping here. In other words, it is a decision that was probably not taken lightly.
However, it will be a small comfort for those who may want to register for a subscription plan at the moment or in the near future.
There is not yet clarity to know if GeForce subscribers will now have to reintegrate the payment details for their subscription, but that should not be many hassles, even if it is necessary with the new system.
All this comes out from Nvidia’s back, temporarily interrupting most subscription plans a few weeks ago, apparently due to high demand on servers. Given this, it may seem a strange moment to also move payment suppliers, but perhaps Nvidia takes the opportunity to perform server or infrastructure upgrades at the same time as the repositioning of its system of payment.
Who knows, your assumption is as good as mine – but I hope that after this next month or two of the bump, in terms of the availability of the subscription, he will be back in business as usual for GeForce now and those Who would like to completely join the Cloud Club of the game. There is probably a big leap in the stock levels of high -end Blackwell graphics cards of Nvidia, to be fair.
