Xbox Cloud Gaming will have an hour limit (and it's very low)
Those who want to use it more will have to pay more
Over the last year, we've seen big changes at Xbox, which have also affected the Game Pass service. Last October, the plans and their prices were reformed, with an exaggerated increase for the Ultimate tier. In April, Xbox reversed course, reducing prices and making another important change: forgoing first-party titles, those from the Call of Duty series, for the first time.
Xbox Cloud Gaming is no longer unlimited
Despite the changes, one aspect of Game Pass had remained unchanged: unlimited access to Xbox Cloud Gaming. Being able to use one of the best (if not the best) cloud infrastructure for gaming without restrictions was a big plus for the subscription service, but unfortunately, we have to speak in the past tense because Microsoft has decided to set limits to cope with rising costs.
How many hours can Xbox Cloud Gaming be used for?
As reported by Xbox Wire, starting in November, Game Pass Ultimate users will be entitled to 15 cloud hours per month, Premium users to 10 hours, and Essential users to 5 hours. Those who want to use the cloud for more time will have to buy extra hours (methods and prices have not yet been announced). Even those not subscribed to Game Pass will be able to access the cloud by paying. Game Pass thus goes from offering unlimited cloud to a maximum of half an hour a day: what do you think of this change?
