Terraria on GeForce NOW

Compare the plans

Your GeForce NOW plan decides how good Terraria looks, how long one session lasts, and whether you wait for a machine. These limits are the same for every game on GeForce NOW. NVIDIA also tuned its graphics settings for each plan. You change nothing.

NVIDIA sells GeForce NOW itself here, in US dollars.
