If you try to sign up for Nvidia GeForce Now<\/a>, the GPU maker\u2019s game streaming service that lets you stream your PC games on other devices, you currently can\u2019t. Every tier of service has a \u201csold out\u201d notice above it, with no indication as to when people will be able to sign up again. But don\u2019t fret, it\u2019s coming back soon \u2014 well, part of it is, anyway.<\/p>\n

Nvidia spokesperson Stephenie Ngo told Polygon that it expects to be able to welcome new sign-ups \u201cin roughly two weeks with Day Passes.\u201d So, you still won\u2019t be able to sign up for the one-month or six-month plans, but you\u2019ll at least be able to pay to play games one day at a time. <\/p>\n

As for why the service currently isn\u2019t accepting new members, Ngo told Polygon that Nvidia is \u201ccurrently transitioning to a new payment provider.\u201d During that transition, it\u2019s pausing new sign-ups, Day Passes, and gift card purchases. The company posted<\/a> on the GeForce Now subreddit in late January, saying the full transition is expected to take \u201ca minimum of 5 weeks.\u201d Ngo says that current members aren\u2019t affected by these changes.<\/p>\n

Unlike Xbox Game Pass<\/a>, which has a curated catalog of games you stream in full, or download to an Xbox or PC, GeForce Now lets you stream only the games you own on PC platforms, plus some free-to-play games. It can pull in many (but not all) games<\/a> from Steam, the Epic Games Store, and the Xbox game store. And notably, it lets you stream them in high quality through one of its Nvidia RTX-powered virtualized rigs. In my experience, games look better through GeForce Now than Xbox Cloud Gaming, since Nvidia\u2019s service has a tier that goes up to 4K at 240 frames per second.<\/p>\n

GeForce Now is available on numerous devices, ranging from handhelds to TVs. Nvidia announced at CES 2025 that a native app will be coming to the Steam Deck<\/a> sometime in 2025. So, at least it\u2019s getting the payment provider transition out of the way before that arrives. <\/p>\n
