Cloud gaming service OnLive has scrapped their $4.95 monthly fee for good. Gamers are now able to instantly stream game demos, spectate, watch videos, message people and make friends for free. The only costs now are for buying a three-day, five-day or full PlayPass. Apparently, TV adaptors and OnLive game pads are now being manufactured. The service’s video quality is also being improved and latency lowered.

“We’ve had a promotion waiving the monthly fee for the first year, so this announcement is confirming what we had hoped – that we can continue without a monthly fee beyond the first year,” said OnLive boss Steve Perlman on the service’s official blog.

“Although we wish we could have confirmed no monthly fee from the get-go, pioneering a major new video game paradigm is hard: we had to first grow to a large base of regular users before we could understand usage patterns and operating costs. Now that we’ve reached that stage, we can confidently say a monthly fee is not needed, which deserves a double WOOT! WOOT!”
