Boosteroid is an independent cloud gaming service. It streams the PC games you own from its own servers, most of them in Europe.

It keeps two shelves: games that start on its own machines, and games you install into your cloud storage once, which then stay there.
The alternative to GeForce NOW for a PC library, with more publishers, no free plan and no hour limit. Good if your games are here and not there.
Boosteroid works like GeForce NOW. It streams the PC games that you own from its own servers, most of them in Europe. You link Steam, Epic, Ubisoft or EA and play in the browser or the app.
The service sells no games and has no free plan or free trial. Two plans, Ultra and Ultra Pro, run the same 4K machine. Ultra Pro adds a choice of server location and a longer inactivity allowance.
More publishers allow Boosteroid than GeForce NOW, so some missing games are here. It ran 29 data centre locations in Europe, North America and Brazil in March 2026, and publishes no status or queue feed.

It has problems. 20 fully operational · 3 partial. Ploiesti, Bratislava and Charlotte are missing servers. Boosteroid publishes no status page of its own, so this reading is measured by downeroid (https://downeroid.com/?utm_source=cloudplay).
Yes. Boosteroid streams the games you own. The subscription pays for the stream, not for the games. Your games on Steam, Epic Games Store, Ubisoft Connect, EA app and some other stores, and only the games Boosteroid added to the service.

No, and there is no free plan either. Boosteroid's help centre is explicit that a subscription is needed before anything starts, free-to-play games included: “once you purchase a Boosteroid subscription, you can launch any game marked as 'free to play'” (checked 1 September 2026). What you can do without paying is create an account, browse the catalogue and run the network test. The monthly plan has no commitment, so one month of Ultra at €12.89 is the closest thing to a trial.
Both stream the PC games you own. GeForce NOW has a free plan, a queue, an hour cap per month, more regions and a public status page; its Ultimate plan goes to 5K at 120 fps, or 360 fps at 1080p. Boosteroid has no free plan and no cap on session time, stops at 4K and 120 fps, and gets games from more publishers, so some titles absent from GeForce NOW are here. The search field at the top of the page answers per game.
Yes. Boosteroid has a macOS app and also runs in Safari or Chrome. The games are Windows games running on Boosteroid's machines, so a Mac plays titles that have no Mac version.
Boosteroid has apps for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, Android TV, Samsung and LG TVs, and it runs in a browser with no download. On an iPhone or an iPad, use the browser. Download links are on boosteroid.com.
Boosteroid counted 29 data centre locations in March 2026, across Europe, North America and Brazil, and names no full list. Ultra Pro members choose their server location; Ultra members are routed to the nearest one. The network test on this site estimates latency from your location; it does not ping the gaming servers.
About 1,747. Boosteroid does not sell or include them: each is a game you can play on the service if you own it on a supported store. The full list, best-rated first, is on the Boosteroid games page.
