Rain Debuts GeForce Now in South Africa

Rain launches GeForce Now in South Africa

GeForce Now seamlessly streams PC games from the world’s most powerful GeForce-powered servers in the cloud.

Nvidia has launched its GeForce Now cloud gaming platform in South Africa in partnership with Rain, meeting a self-imposed deadline of 2023 to debut the service. Following an extensive beta-testing period, Rain and Nvidia are offering two plans at launch: Priority and Ultra.

Priority, which costs R200/month (with a 20% discount for customers of Rain’s RainOne tariff plan), offering a premium, cloud-based gaming rig with up to 1080p resolution and gaming sessions of up to three hours.

Ultra, which costs R400/month (again, with a 20% discount for RainOne customers), offering resolutions of up to 4K and gaming sessions of up to eight hours. The Nvidia GeForce Now service, which even gives Mac users the ability to play high-end games designed for Windows, is hosted in Rain-operated data centres.

According to Rain, GeForce Now seamlessly streams PC games from the world’s most powerful GeForce-powered servers in the cloud. Members can stream titles they already own from popular digital gaming stores including Steam, Xbox, Epic Games Store, Ubisoft and GoG.com.
