GeForce Now’s 100-hour cap for pretty much everyone comes into effect in January.

Active paid GeForce Now members who signed up before 2025 had been exempt, but starting January 1st, 2026, the cap is in place for them, too. Founders members will continue to have unlimited playtime, Nvidia says.

Steam’s 2025 Replay is live.

If you buy something from a Verge link, Vox Media may earn a commission. See our ethics statement.

Here’s my stats for Silksong. I haven’t even finished Act II yet.
