Boosteroid subscribers and users

(Source: Wikipedia, citing Boosteroid January 2026 announcement)

  • Boosteroid reported 8 million active subscribers in January 2026 — its most recent disclosed figure.
  • In May 2023, the platform had approximately 4 million users — doubling to 8 million in roughly 2.5 years.
  • Boosteroid does not regularly publish subscriber counts; the 8 million figure is the only recent official disclosure.

Boosteroid is the largest independent cloud gaming provider globally

  • “Independent” means Boosteroid is not owned by a major gaming platform (unlike Xbox Cloud Gaming / Microsoft, GeForce NOW / NVIDIA, or PlayStation Cloud / Sony).
  • It operates its own physical GPU server infrastructure — a rarer approach in a field where most providers rent cloud capacity from AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure.
  • Market position: approximately third or fourth in the global cloud gaming market behind GeForce NOW and Xbox Cloud Gaming, depending on methodology.

Revenue has more than doubled in two years, driven by subscriber growth, the Microsoft partnership adding high-value game titles, and expansion into new markets (South America launch January 2025, Balkans data center November 2025).

Boosteroid game library and model

  • 1,700+ titles are supported as of early 2026 — all pre-installed on Boosteroid servers (“Ready-to-Play”).
  • The BYOG model: users must own games on Steam or Epic Games Store. Boosteroid streams them — it does not sell the games itself.
  • This is the same fundamental model as NVIDIA GeForce NOW, distinguishing it from Xbox Cloud Gaming (which bundles Game Pass) and Amazon Luna (which sells games or subscriptions).
  • Compared to GeForce NOW: Boosteroid has ~1,700 titles vs GeForce NOW’s 4,000+ under its paid tiers — a smaller library but with different pricing and no hourly caps.

Pricing: €12.89–€14.89/month with no monthly usage cap

  • Ultra plan: €12.89/month — standard resolution and frame rate.
  • Ultra Pro plan: €14.89/month — higher resolution.
  • No monthly hour cap (unlike GeForce NOW’s 100-hour cap introduced January 2026).
  • Annual billing available at a discount.
