NVIDIA is developing a cloud gaming service that claims that ``you can play as comfortably as a gaming PC on a smartphone or laptop,'' and in addition to the paid version, ``Connection is not prioritized and the continuous play time is only 30 minutes.'' We have a free plan. This time, video ads will be added to the free plan.

When a user connects to GeForce Now, there may be a brief wait period during which ads will be displayed. It seems that it is only displayed during standby time and does not appear during gameplay.



An NVIDIA representative said, ``Revenue from advertising may lead to reduced waiting times for free plans in the future.'' The company plans to send an email to all free users informing them about the ad.

Technology media Tom's Hardware says, ``Cloud gaming services require a data center located close to the user in order to provide the user with the highest quality experience and low latency. Also, cloud gaming can be played over a mobile phone line. This may place a burden on users. Google's cloud gaming service, Google Stadia, has come to an end due to problems such as data center maintenance costs and user abandonment due to pricing issues.'' He said that it is understandable that NVIDIA has developed this method of earning revenue because maintaining such a cloud gaming service is more expensive than expected.
