Nvidia's cloud gaming platform, GeForce NOW, now features updated Day Pass choices. The introduction of Day Passes on Nvidia GeForce NOW reflects the evolving landscape of gaming. Many players today prefer trying out different options before committing to a specific gaming platform.

Game distributors strive to maximize revenue while catering to players' needs. In recent years, the live service model has gained popularity, offering access to game libraries and specific games through subscription services and battle passes. GeForce NOW enables cloud-based access to Nvidia rigs, allowing users to play games they own without the need for a dedicated gaming PC.

The newly launched GeForce NOW Day Passes grant full 24-hour access to the cloud gaming service. Gamers can choose between two options: Priority Day Pass and Ultimate Day Pass, each tailored to different levels of GeForce NOW membership. The Priority Day Pass is priced at $3.99, offering up to 1080p resolution and 60 FPS on Premium Rigs for 6-hour sessions. On the other hand, the Ultimate Day Pass costs $7.99 and provides up to 4k resolution and 120 FPS on RTX 4080 Rigs for 8-hour sessions.

GeForce NOW's Day Pass offerings present an attractive option for gamers looking to enjoy brief gaming sessions without a long-term subscription commitment.

There is no limit on the number of sessions initiated, but queues may be encountered for server access, including with Day Passes and subscriptions. Session time begins upon purchase, contrasting with models that track hours spent within specific applications or games.
