While a majority of Xbox Game Pass users reportedly haven't used this feature nearly as much as others, Xbox recently announced one of the modern staples of the platform would be the next out the door, unless you're willing to pay extra, that is.
Announced this morning on Microsoft's official Xbox Wire blog, cloud gaming on Xbox Game Pass will be getting some drastic changes, limiting the currently infinite playtime to a locked number of hours per month depending on your subscription, with the following rates starting in November of this year:
Xbox will provide more details on hour pricing, regional availability, and other features related to cloud gaming in November.
It isn't all bad news, however, as the updated cloud gaming service will allow you to use the program without paying for a full Game Pass subscription, ideally helping players save money who don't consistently need the service, especially if the biggest factor in determining if Xbox Game Pass is worth buying for them was due to the inclusion of the feature.
For anyone unaware of Game Pass's cloud gaming feature, the added feature allows you to play your owned games or those on Xbox Game Pass anywhere without downloading them or even having a console, letting you stream them through the cloud on mobile devices, Smart TVs, and even play Xbox Series S|X games on your Xbox One.
Potentially affecting millions of gamers who rely on cloud gaming to play on the go or simply can't afford to purchase the hardware needed to play them, the announcement has already been getting hit with a wave of criticism for making the already limited service even more frustrating for players.
