    Description:
    New flagship subscription for the game streaming service has started to roll out in the US, with the UK to follow soon.

    FULL STORY ======================================================================

    Nvidia GeForce Now s new top-end subscription tier is now officially live,
    as the first GFN Thursday of November also kicks off a bunch of new games on the streaming service 17 to be precise.

    The big news is the GeForce Now RTX 3080 membership going live in the US,
    with the first wave of gamers who pre-ordered the service which was
    initially limited to current subscribers, but is now open to everyone
    getting their RTX 3080 account up and running.

    Following this move, European RTX 3080 memberships are expected to kick off
    in December with a similar phased rollout.

    The RTX 3080 subscription delivers a number of benefits, with members getting the equivalent of a 3080 graphics card when it comes to graphics power, enabling resolutions of up to 1440p running at up to 120 frames per second (existing members currently get 1080p and 60 fps). A further benefit is
    gaming sessions can last two hours longer, with a maximum of eight hours possible with the RTX 3080 tier.

    Nvidia also gave us the full list of games coming to GeForce Now in November, which consists of 17 titles as mentioned. To begin with, this week were getting Age of Darkness: Final Stand (survival RTS), Lets Build a Zoo (wildlife simulation), Recipe For Disaster (restaurant management sim), and Road Redemption (the spiritual successor to the classic Road Rash, with four player co-op support).

    Plus later in the month, Core arrives on GeForce Now, which is a multiverse
    of free games (some 20,000 of them) that will play host to Deadmau5s virtual music experience Oberhasli, and an Encore performance of an interactive Deadmau5 concert will have six showings on Core across Friday, November 19 on Saturday, November 20.

    Heres the full list of games for November: Recipe For Disaster (new game launch on Steam) Lets Build a Zoo (new game launch on Steam and Epic Games Store) Age of Darkness: Final Stand (Steam) Road Redemption (Steam) Bakery Simulator (new game launch on Steam) Bright Memory: Infinite (new game launch on Steam) Epic Chef (new game launch on Steam) Farming Simulator 22 (new game on launch on Steam and Epic Games Store) The Last Stand: Aftermath (new game launch on Steam) Core (Epic Games Store) Ghostrunner (Epic Games Store)
    Legion TD 2 (Steam) Lost Words: Beyond the Page (Steam) MapleStory (Steam) Severed Steel (Steam) Story of Season: Pioneers of Olive Town (Steam) Tale of Immortal (Steam) Analysis: RTX 3080 pre-orders still open but for how long?

    Nvidia notes that the RTX 3080 subscription rollout will continue until all pre-orders have been fulfilled, and that pre-orders are still being accepted from all-comers, but Team Green adds that this situation is pending availability, suggesting there may be a cut-off point coming soon, perhaps.

    The subscription option on Nvidias pre-order page already states that this
    new membership level will only be available in limited quantities, so it
    might be prudent to strike sooner rather than later if you are indeed mulling an upgrade to your plan (or signing up from scratch for RTX 3080, for that matter).

    The RTX 3080 membership costs $99.99 / 89.89 for six months. Check out the best processors
