Overview

  • Starting in September, GeForce Now’s Ultimate tier will run on Nvidia’s Blackwell-powered RTX 5080-class instances at no extra cost to existing subscribers.
  • The new Install-to-Play model will immediately surface over 2,300 Steam Cloud Play titles pending publisher sign-off, with additional games added weekly.
  • Cinematic Quality Streaming brings YUV 4:4:4 chroma, 10-bit HDR and up to 100 Mbps AV1 video streaming while Multi-Frame Generation and ISP L4S partnerships promise higher frame rates and lower latency.
  • Ultimate members gain 100 GB of session-based cloud storage and can purchase persistent tiers (200 GB for $2.99, 500 GB for $4.99, 1 TB for $7.99 per month) to keep installs ready.
  • RTX 5080-class performance will be available for about 20 games at launch and will grow weekly as Nvidia scales server capacity and publisher opt-ins.
