Cloud gaming is one of those things that seems to be trying to catch on. With the announcement of the Nvidia Shield several years ago, as well as its GeForce now streaming service, it seems as though there is the potential for a market there, but it looks as though the GPU company is potentially going to do itself a bit of a disservice with its latest announcement.

A recent report indicates that Nvidia will be doubling the price of its GeForce Now service to reflect the increased popularity of it. It seems as though its Founders Tier will be making way for a new Priority tier, which will cost around $10 per month as opposed to $5. As the name suggests, this tier will give paying customers priority access to its gaming servers, and will include extensions to login sessions, which will see play sessions stretching from one to four hours.

On top of that, this new, although still sort of similar to the old, tier will enable RTX ray tracing and DLSS support for some games. Nvidia has also said it will be looking to add even more features to the service, which could see the company putting emphasis on things like V-Sync support, as well as upping its weekly releases from 10 to 15 titles. All of this is still yet to be fully confirmed, however.

Those willing to pay the price will be able to get access to such games as Cyberpunk 2077 which was made available on GeForce Now last year. While the change in the price may put newcomers off, current subscribers may be able to bypass the new fee by continuing to pay $5 each month for the service they've already been receiving. According to the report, those who take a break from the service and come back to it will be charged the new fee of $10.

Over the last few months, Nvidia has been the talk of many PC enthusiasts who are still unsure about the future of its GPU stock. With talks that new graphics cards may not become readily available until 2022, it is a bit of a tumultuous time to be a PC gamer. With the word that GeForce Now will cost twice as much for new and returning customers, it's entirely possible that people will not be happy with recent developments but its apparent that the company is trying to keep itself relevant in the gaming market, especially considering its only competition when it comes to cloud gaming is Google's Stadia.
