NVIDIA GeForce Now India Launch Delayed to Q1 2026
This isn’t the first delay for GeForce Now in India. NVIDIA initially announced a Q1 2025 launch, then pushed it to November 2025, and now to early 2026.

Why GeForce Now Could Win India
Unlike Xbox Cloud Gaming which costs ₹1,639 monthly for Game Pass Ultimate, GeForce Now lets you stream games you already own. This is crucial for India where Steam offers aggressive regional pricing, making game purchases significantly cheaper than other regions.
The service features three tiers: a free tier with ads and queues, a Performance tier with RTX-powered hardware and 1440p gaming, and an Ultimate tier delivering RTX 5080-class performance with 4K 120fps capability. Both paid tiers now come with a 100-hour monthly limit, with day passes available starting at $3.99.
While Indian pricing hasn’t been announced, US pricing remains at $9.99/month for Performance and $19.99/month for Ultimate. Regional pricing could make GeForce Now highly competitive in India’s growing cloud gaming market.
