NVIDIA Cuts GeForce NOW Annual Pricing by 35% in Summer Sale, Adds Guild Wars 3 to Cloud Lineup
NVIDIA has launched a summer promotion for its GeForce NOW cloud gaming service, offering significant discounts on annual memberships. Through July 8, 2026, new subscribers can get 35% off 12-month Performance and Ultimate plans.
The discount translates to $35 off the annual Performance plan and $70 off the annual Ultimate plan. Based on US pricing, the sale brings the Performance tier down to $64.99 per year and the Ultimate tier to $129.99 per year. That works out to roughly $5.42 per month for Performance or $10.83 per month for Ultimate – a substantial saving over monthly billing.
What Each Tier Offers
The Performance plan supports streaming up to 1440p at 60 FPS (NVIDIA’s blog mentions 1080p/60, but the membership page lists up to 1440p). The Ultimate plan upgrades cloud systems to RTX 5080-class hardware, enabling up to 5K resolution at 120 FPS or up to 360 FPS at 1080p on compatible devices. Ultimate also includes features like NVIDIA Reflex and high dynamic range (HDR) streaming.
Both tiers provide access to a library of supported PC games from various stores (Steam, Epic, Xbox, Ubisoft) without needing high‑end local hardware.
Guild Wars 3 Confirmed for Cloud Launch
In a separate announcement, NVIDIA confirmed that Guild Wars 3 will be available on GeForce NOW at launch. The game was officially revealed by ArenaNet and NCSoft during Summer Game Fest 2026, with a planned release on PC, Steam, and PlayStation 5. The first beta test is scheduled for fall 2027. GeForce NOW members will be able to stream the game on day one, making it accessible on underpowered PCs, Macs, and even mobile devices.
While waiting for Guild Wars 3, subscribers can already stream Guild Wars 2 and Guild Wars Reforged on the platform. NVIDIA is also offering limited‑time in‑game rewards for both games; premium members get early access, with all members able to claim them from June 12.

Why This Deal Matters
Cloud gaming continues to mature, and GeForce NOW remains one of the few services that lets you play your existing PC game library rather than locking you into a curated store. The 35% discount brings annual pricing close to its lowest historical levels. With the addition of major upcoming titles like Guild Wars 3, the service becomes more attractive for gamers who want to avoid expensive hardware upgrades.
The summer sale ends July 8. New members can sign up directly through the GeForce NOW website or the app.
