NVIDIA kicked off the GeForce NOW summer sale on June 11 (local time), offering limited-time discounts of up to 70 USD (about 11,000 yen) on 12-month memberships[1]. Alongside the sale, the company announced that ArenaNet's upcoming MMORPG Guild Wars 3 will be available on GeForce NOW at launch. For anyone who has been considering an upgrade or a switch to an annual plan, the timing could hardly be better.

12-Month Memberships at Some of the Year's Best Prices

The sale covers 12-month memberships, with the following discounts[1]:

  • Performance membership (12 months): 35 USD (about 5,600 yen) off
  • Ultimate membership (12 months): 70 USD (about 11,000 yen) off

※1 USD = 160 JPY

The Performance membership is the mid-tier plan, supporting streaming at up to 1080p and 60 fps with access to RTX-powered servers for supported titles. The top-tier Ultimate membership delivers RTX 4080- or 5080-class performance in the cloud, supporting up to 4K (and beyond on ultrawide displays) at up to 120 fps, along with features such as ray tracing, NVIDIA DLSS, and NVIDIA Reflex[1].

Because GeForce NOW handles installs and patches in the cloud, laptops, smartphones, tablets, and TVs can all serve as gaming screens as they are. Ultimate members have already received a free upgrade to the Blackwell architecture, meaning server-side generational updates keep boosting performance even after you subscribe[1]. Keeping pace with the latest GPU generation without replacing your own hardware is a distinctly cloud-native advantage. NVIDIA describes the current pricing as some of the year's best and notes that the discounts are available for a limited time only[1].

Guild Wars 3 Playable in the Cloud from Day One

Together with the sale, NVIDIA revealed that ArenaNet's next-generation MMORPG Guild Wars 3 will come to GeForce NOW at launch[1]. The new chapter in the world of Tyria, featuring fluid combat and deep character building, will be playable via the cloud from day one. A release date has not been announced, but the game can already be added to wishlists.

Ahead of that, the existing series entries Guild Wars 2 and Guild Wars Reforged are now playable on GeForce NOW, with limited-time exclusive rewards on offer[1]. Guild Wars 2 players receive the Masterpiece Emote Tome, a set of emotes for celebrating victories, while Guild Wars Reforged players get the Vision of Lyssa costume (with an account upgrade), inspired by the twin goddess Lyssa. The rewards rolled out to Premium members on June 11 and become available to all members starting June 12. Distribution runs through July 11, with redemption codes delivered by email[1].

A Solid Lineup of New Titles This Week

The weekly batch of newly supported titles has also been announced. The headliner this week is Duet Night Abyss from Hero Games, in which players control a duo tethered by fragile oxygen lines while exploring an underwater world. Other additions include three new Steam releases — NBA THE RUN (June 9), Witchspire (June 10), and SpaceCraft (June 11) — plus DOOM Eternal on the Epic Games Store, The Elder Scrolls Online (Xbox, available on Game Pass), Farever, and World of Tanks: HEAT[1].

Schedule changes were also announced: Pro Cycling Manager 26 is now set for June 15, and Denshattack! for July 15[1]. In addition, a new Community Corner spotlighting member stories from around the world launches this summer, with the first installment featuring a Linux gamer who uses GeForce NOW for accessibility and to save storage space[1].

Summary

A 70 USD (about 11,000 yen) discount on the 12-month Ultimate plan is one of the larger price cuts GeForce NOW has offered. With the free upgrade to the Blackwell generation already boosting cloud-side performance, annual plans are easier to justify than before. It will also be worth watching whether day-one cloud support for major AAA titles, as with Guild Wars 3, continues going forward.
