Xbox is changing how cloud gaming works with Game Pass, introducing monthly streaming limits across all three subscription tiers beginning in November.
At the same time, Xbox is expanding access to its cloud gaming service by allowing players to purchase streaming time without having an active Game Pass subscription.
Beginning in November, each Game Pass plan will include a set number of cloud gaming hours per month:

Xbox has not yet revealed how much additional playtime will cost. Available hours, purchasing options, and cloud gaming features may also vary depending on the market.
Xbox explained that the limits are being introduced as the cost of providing cloud gaming increases alongside usage and longer play sessions.
“We understand that for some players the practical result is a higher cost,” Xbox said. The company also says it will listen to player feedback before and after the changes take effect, with adjustments possible following the rollout.
Alongside the new limits, Xbox is introducing a separate option for players who want to use cloud gaming without paying for a recurring Game Pass subscription.
