Boosteroid review

Boosteroid takes third place for value. Its help center lists three plans: Ultra with up to 4K, up to 120 FPS and ray tracing, Ultra Pro which adds manual server selection, a 15 minute idle window and a three minute reconnect window, and a bundle with World of Tanks rewards. Unlike GeForce NOW and Xbox, the homepage promises no session time limits, with smart queueing when servers are busy. You launch games you already own from popular PC stores, so the catalog depends on your library, and Boosteroid says it runs hundreds of titles. Apps cover Windows, Mac, Linux, Android TV, webOS, Tizen, Android and ChromeOS, and iPhone users play through the browser. Mobile and TV apps stream at a fixed 60 FPS. Our location showed prices in euros only, so the USD price is pending; check the billing page in your region.
