Nvidia's Free-tier GeForce Now Will Soon Show Ads While You're Waiting To Play

Nvidia's completely free, no-strings attached trial of its cloud gaming service GeForce Now is about to be very slightly less of a deal. Nvidia says users will now start seeing ads. From a report: They're only for the free tier -- not Priority or Ultimate -- and even then, it sounds like they won't interrupt your gameplay. "Free users will start to see up to two minutes of ads while waiting in queue to start a gaming session," writes Nvidia spokesperson Stephanie Ngo. Currently, the free tier does often involve waiting in line for a remote computer to free up before every hour of free gameplay -- now, I guess there'll be a few ads too. Nvidia says the ads should help pay for the free tier of service, and that it expects the change "will reduce average wait times for free users over time."
