LGU+ "Free Cloud Gaming 'GeForce NOW' Regardless of Carrier"
[Asia Economy Reporter Joesulgina] LG Uplus announced on the 23rd that starting from the 1st of next month, it will provide its cloud gaming service ‘GeForce NOW’ free of charge regardless of the user’s mobile carrier. This is the first time that cloud gaming has been fully opened for free to the entire nation.
GeForce NOW is a 5G-based cloud gaming service first launched in September 2019 through a partnership between LG Uplus and NVIDIA. It offers over 400 high-spec games including popular domestic online games such as ▲Black Desert ▲ArcheAge ▲Fortnite ▲Destiny Guardians ▲Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla on mobile, PC, and IPTV, gaining strong support from gaming enthusiasts.
LG Uplus supports anyone to use the ‘Basic’ plan of GeForce NOW, which has no separate usage fee among the monthly subscription plans. Previously, only LG Uplus customers could use it without restrictions.
Along with this, starting from the 1st, a new monthly subscription plan called GeForce NOW ‘Pro’ will be introduced. It is available for 17,900 KRW per month (VAT included) and guarantees up to 6 hours of playtime per session. There is no limit on the number of connections. When combined with LG Uplus mobile, internet, or IPTV services, it can be used at a discounted price of 6,450 KRW, which is 64% off.
‘Pro’ users are also given priority access rights compared to regular gamers when there are many users connected. Additionally, they can enjoy games more realistically through ‘Ray tracing’ technology, which provides graphics similar to reality. Ray tracing is a technology that simulates physical behaviors such as light reflection, refraction, and diffusion through real-time rendering, enabling movie-like graphics close to reality even in high-spec games.
