CLOUD GAMING IS HERE: NVIDIA GEFORCE NOW POWERED BY PENTANET LAUNCH DATE & PRICING ANNOUNCED

Pentanet, NVIDIA’s first GeForce NOW Alliance Partner in Australia and New Zealand, is proud to announce GeForce NOW™ Powered by Pentanet will be available next week. Local pricing and other opportunities have also been announced.

The Beta Quest phase saw Aussie Gamers complete over 250,000 quests. As Beta Play continues to provide invaluable feedback, Pentanet revealed that more than 3 million minutes have been played on GeForce NOW during Beta Play, equalling over 5.7 years in since invitations were first sent mid-September. In that time, over 100,000 cloud gaming sessions have taken place.

Launching on October 19, all players across Australia will be able to experience the amazing visuals of real-time ray tracing streamed with RTX ON via GeForce NOW Powered by Pentanet, using a vast variety of hardware options.

Users will have access to a library of over 1,000 games, and can play them by connecting accounts from popular game stores, including Steam, Epic Games Store, Ubisoft Connect, GOG.COM and more. Players will also have access to almost 100 free-to-play titles, instantly, included with GeForce NOW Powered by Pentanet.



At launch, players have two membership options: ‘Basic’ and ‘Priority’. With GeForce NOW Powered by Pentanet’s limited-time Founders ‘Priority membership, players will be able to truly unleash the power of the service, with RTX-ON enabled gaming and extended play sessions.
