On the 4th, NVIDIA started providing its cloud gaming service “GeForce NOW” in Japan. In addition to free and priority subscriptions, you can also choose the Ultimate subscription, the first of its kind in Japan. Monthly rates are 0 yen, 1,790 yen, and 3,580 yen.
GeForce NOW is a cloud gaming service provided by NVIDIA. By running the game on a cloud server and streaming the video to your device, you can enjoy PC games even on devices that don’t have as high processing performance as a gaming PC, such as a regular PC, smartphone or tablet.
Benefits and costs for each subscription The Ultimate subscription is the first in Japan.
Along with the launch of our internal service, we added an NVIDIA-operated data center in Tokyo. The data center is also equipped with a GeForce RTX 4080 SuperPOD for Ultimate subscriptions, which has a performance of over 64 TFLOPS, which is more than 5 times that of PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series . It is said to be capable of providing quality cloud gaming.
In addition to high graphics performance, GeForce RTX 4080 SuperPOD supports AI-powered technologies such as DLSS 3 Frame Generation and DLSS 3.5 Ray Reconstruction, as well as full ray tracing, 240Hz competitive mode, Cloud G-Sync, AV1 codec and more. By using DLSS alongside 4K gaming, it is possible to achieve frame rates above 60 fps and, depending on the title, above 120 fps.
GeForce RTX 4080 SuperPOD DLSS enables gaming at 60 fps or higher even at 4K resolution
Among these, the 240Hz competitive mode using NVIDIA Reflex introduces Reflex Frame Pacing technology to simplify game simulation. Enabling the mode increases the cloud-side streaming speed to 240 Hz for faster rendering, controls rendering and encoding times, and changes the streaming speed when combined with a G-Sync compatible monitor, which allows for gameplay smooth and low latency. Another feature is that it can be applied without any support from the game.
Latency from click to display is claimed to be less than 40ms, which is even lower than the 120Hz (60ms) mode, which also uses Reflex. According to the company’s testing, total lag is reduced to 35 ms with GeForce NOW in competitive mode at 240 Hz, compared to 63 ms with Xbox Series. It is said that it will be done.

Benefits of each subscription include Ultimate, which includes ultrawide monitors up to 3,840 x 1,600 dots, 4K resolution, 2,560 x 1,440 dots support for Android devices, and 120 fps high frame rate support.
Priority also supports priority access to premium servers and gaming at up to Full HD (1,920 x 1,080 points)/60 fps. The free plan includes standard access to regular game servers and includes advertisements.
Many game titles available including Xbox PC Game Pass and more
Additionally, the “Day Pass” that allows you to use GeForce NOW 24 hours a day will be offered at 1,300 yen for Ultimate Day Pass and 650 yen for Priority Day Pass. The benefits are the same for each subscription. The company is also gradually expanding its game titles, with “Street Fighter 6,” “Resident Evil Village” and “Collapse: Star Rail” set to be added soon.
As for GeForce NOW in Japan, KDDI already provides services as a partner (access to GeForce RTX 3080 servers). In this regard, while KDDI and others focus on adding value to customers and providing services in combination with their own services, NVIDIA would like to try the next-level Ultimate by directly launching the service itself. provide more players, including users, the opportunity to experience GeForce NOW.
