NVIDIA has announced that they are transitioning to a new payment provider for their GeForce NOW membership fees.
As a result, current GeForce NOW members will have their membership fee waived for a minimum of 5-weeks.
It does also mean however that if your GeForce NOW account is now on the new monthly playtime cap, you will not be able to purchase increased playtime during this period.
You will also not be able to upgrade or downgrade your membership during this time.
The GeForce NOW team posted the below Q&A on Reddit to help clear some questions that users may have:
Q: Why are you doing this?
A: NVIDIA is taking over payment processing from a third-party vendor. The transition will take a little time, but rest assured our members can continue to stream their games from our servers without interruption.
Q: Can I upgrade or downgrade my membership?
A: Some account changes, like upgrading to Ultimate or downgrading to Performance, will be paused during this time.
Q: What if I need to add more playtime to my account?
A: The services in the account portal for adding additional monthly playtime will also be unavailable during the transition, so we are migrating impacted accounts to an unlimited playtime account for the remainder of 2025. Those impacted will receive an email with more details.
Q: How long will it be before I have to pay again?
A: We expect the transition will take a minimum of 5 weeks. Visit your account portal for future updates on when the transition will complete and billing will resume.
Q: Does this mean GeForce NOW is shutting down?
A: Absolutely not.
In fact, February 2025 marks the fifth anniversary of GeForce NOW. It’s been an incredible journey, and we’re just getting started. We also have exciting new releases joining the GeForce NOW library all month long – stay tuned to GFN Thursday for all the latest updates.
