Nitrado review

Nitrado is the console player's host. Its US site lists more than 70 games that start right away, including console versions such as Dune: Awakening on PlayStation, and many titles are marked for crossplay. A server configurator lets you change the game on a running server at any time, so one rental can move from ARK to DayZ as your group's interest shifts. Rentals start at three days, which helps for a weekend event or a tournament, with Palworld and Valheim from $4.09 and ARK: Survival Ascended from $6.09 for that period. Nitrado is also an official partner for several studios. The pricing format is its weak spot for comparison. Quoting per three days rather than per month makes it hard to line up against monthly plans, and the main page says little about hardware and locations.
