Following NVIDIA’s announcement of a payment processor transition for GeForce NOW, some users have expressed concerns about the future of the service. We want to be clear: GeForce NOW is not shutting down.
NVIDIA’s Reassurance:
NVIDIA has explicitly stated that the payment transition is not related to any plans to discontinue GeForce NOW. In their announcement, they emphasized, “Absolutely not. In fact, February 2025 marks the fifth anniversary of GeForce NOW. It’s been an incredible journey, and we’re just getting started.”
Payment Transition Explained:
The change in payment processors is a behind-the-scenes technical adjustment. NVIDIA is taking over payment processing from a third-party vendor, which requires some system updates and adjustments. This is the reason for the temporary free period for existing members and the pause on certain account features.
Looking Ahead:
NVIDIA’s commitment to GeForce NOW is evident. They are not only continuing the service but also celebrating its fifth anniversary, promising exciting new game releases and updates throughout February. The payment transition is designed to improve the service in the long run, giving NVIDIA more control over its billing system and potentially paving the way for future enhancements.
Addressing User Concerns:
It’s understandable that any change in a service can raise questions. However, in this case, the payment transition is simply a technical adjustment. NVIDIA has been clear in its communication: GeForce NOW is not going away.
