Nvidia confirms India launch for its cloud gaming service, GeForce NOW: Launch timeline, pricing, features and other details

August 22, 2025 / 11:39 IST

Nvidia has confirmed the launch of its cloud gaming service, GeForce NOW, in India this November. The announcement was made during Gamescom 2025, where the company also detailed its latest Blackwell RTX architecture upgrade, which brings RTX 5080-grade performance to the platform. India will join Thailand as the newest market to gain access to GeForce NOW through Nvidia’s GFNA partner, Brothers Picture.

Launch timeline

GeForce NOW is scheduled to go live in India in November 2025, expanding access to the service in Asia. Nvidia said the rollout will be handled through local partnerships to ensure optimized performance and connectivity. The company has been steadily expanding GeForce NOW’s global reach and is now targeting key emerging markets where cloud gaming adoption is expected to grow.

Pricing

Nvidia confirmed that pricing for GeForce NOW memberships will remain unchanged despite the major RTX 5080 upgrade. The Ultimate membership will continue at $19.99 per month or $199.99 annually, while the Performance membership is priced at $9.99 per month. Pricing in India is expected to align with global tiers once officially announced.

Features

With the upgrade to the Blackwell RTX architecture, GeForce NOW Ultimate members will gain access to RTX 5080-class performance, delivering 62 teraflops of compute power, 48GB frame buffer, and 2.8x faster frame rates compared to previous-generation servers. This enables streaming at up to 5K resolution and 120 frames per second. Nvidia Reflex technology will also allow competitive gaming with latency under 30 milliseconds.

A new feature called Install-to-Play will expand the library to over 4,500 games, including more than 2,200 Steam titles. Members will be able to install games directly in the cloud with 100GB session storage included, and optional persistent storage add-ons ranging from 200GB to 1TB.

Nvidia confirmed that upcoming titles such as Borderlands 4, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, Dying Light: The Beast, and The Outer Worlds 2 will be optimized for GeForce NOW at launch. Supported devices include handhelds, LG TVs, monitors, and Macs, offering flexibility for Indian gamers once the service goes live.
