Cloud gaming is a growing market and while it’s dominated by services like NVIDIA’s GeForce NOW, services like Boosteroid have popped up to offer an alternative, and giving Boosteroid a shot now comes with a pretty cool gift in the form of free access to PC Game Pass.
Xbox Game Pass subscribers will be familiar with both cloud gaming and the benefits that Game Pass offers across its various plan options. The cloud gaming feature is only available for the Ultimate membership. But PC Game Pass has loads of features and benefits too. Such as new games on day one. Have you ever wanted to play a game on launch day but didn’t have the money to buy it? Well, this is where a PC Game Pass subscription would come in handy. Because you would be able to access those day-one games at no additional charge beyond the monthly subscription cost.
Here’s the really cool part, though. PC Game Pass costs $11.99 a month. But it doesn’t include cloud gaming. Boosteroid, which is a cloud gaming service, would allow you to stream games in the cloud, and you would get PC Game Pass for free. There is one major caveat, however.
Boosteroid subscribers will get a 1-month trial to PC Game Pass
This is the one detail you want to keep in mind. The free access to PC Game Pass only lasts for a month. So after 30 days, you will need to set up payment for the subscription if you want to keep it going. This would be in addition to the monthly cost of Boosteroid. Now, this is still a good deal if Boosteroid is your cloud gaming service of choice. Boosteroid is also available in the US, as well as the UK and several countries in Europe.
In terms of Boosteroid’s cost, it’s €9.89 per month until December 1 for the Ultra plan. The Ultra plan gets high-end VM. Ray-tracing, Frame Generation, up to 4K resolution, and up to 120 frames per second. After the discount ends, the monthly cost is €14.89 per month. So that’s about $10 and about $15 respectively with and without the discount. Basically, it’s a pretty good deal for that first month if you sign up before December because you’ll pay less than the amount of PC Game Pass for one month of Boosteroid, plus get the free month of PC Game Pass.
Boosteroid also works much like GeForce NOW in that you need to own the games you stream. They also have to be supported on Boosteroid. So keep that in mind. The good news is that Boosteroid supports plenty of games. Including several newer titles like CS2, Cyberpunk 2077, Zenless Zone Zero, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, and even Diablo IV’s Vessel of Hatred expansion.
The free PC Game Pass offer ends on December 5
If this offer sounds like a good deal to you, then you’ll need to act fast. Boosteroid says the offer is only valid until December 5. On top of that, you’ll need to redeem your free month of PC Game Pass by January 4, 2025. You can redeem the free month by going here and generating a code after signing into your Boosteroid account with an active subscription.
