Boosteroid review

Boosteroid is the best alternative for players who dislike playtime caps, because its site promises unlimited session duration, with smart queueing when servers are busy. The Ultra plan supports up to 4K, up to 120 FPS where the game and device allow it, and ray tracing. Ultra Pro adds manual server selection, a 15 minute idle window instead of 10, a 3 minute reconnect window instead of 30 seconds, and Boostcast for up to 15 viewers. Device support is broad: desktop apps for Windows, Mac and Linux, TV apps for Android TV, LG webOS and Samsung Tizen, an Android app, and a home screen web app on iPhone through Safari. Like GeForce NOW, it launches games you already own, so you still buy games in PC stores. Boosteroid showed us prices only in euros, starting at a yearly rate, so we marked the USD price as pending. Check the price at checkout from a US address.
