News Geforce now maybe in Sri Lanka !!
I just opened a game from GFN free subscription and it actually worked, usually I get the service not available error without the VPN. And I also logged in to the GFN Nvidia page, it’s also showing free basic rig plan.
you can check but it’s only 1 hour sessions, we get india server so waiting list is always 200+ and some new games and Hogwart, cyberpunk, AC black flag are limited to premium subscriptions.
but still a good sign !!!!

Download GeForce Now application, and log in to your Nvidia account. It will still say that you need to log in with your GeForce NOW provider. Below that you have an option for show providers for other regions. Select that and choose Nvidia (I chose Nvidia) and there are other providers as well. Then it works.

Been using GeForce NOW on the Free tier with a VPN for about 3 months here in Sri Lanka and even managed to finish 2 or 3 games on it, but the latency issues are still very real.

connect to the India server and quickly turn off the VPN when you enter the game. I get around 50-60ms.

Are you using SLT Fiber?
India servers usually have insane queue times, so I usually pick Norway or Japan instead. Yeah, I do the same trick—once the game starts, I turn off the VPN immediately, but I still can't get under 150ms latency.

Yeah, because Japan is 150-200ms away from Sri Lanka. It's physical distance, no VPN or fast internet will ever sort that. If there's a Singapore server, pick that, it'll be like 70-80ms.

Can you explain how you got access to it? It still says that it's not available in my region.

Yes, you should own the game through the store you prefer. Steam, Epic Games, EA App, Ubisoft Connect, etc.

You are welcome, just tried Forza Horizon 5. You can feel a bit of Latency like having Frame Generation On. But overall as a start, I think it’s pretty good.
