"Apparently, Microsoft has been internally testing ad-supported cloud streaming with employees, letting them play games without a Game Pass subscription. On October 3, The Verge reported that sources familiar with Microsoft's future plans have confirmed with the outlet that the tech giant will soon announce a new way to stream Xbox games without a Game Pass subscription. Currently, you need a Game Pass subscription to stream Xbox games."
"The outlet further reports that sources with knowledge of the internal testing of the service say these ads are about two minutes long. There's also a limit of one hour per session and about five hours max a month, though this might change if and when the service is rolled out to the public. It sounds like this upcoming free ad-supported version of Xbox Cloud Gaming will let folks stream some games you already own, some other select eligible games, and retro titles."
Microsoft will launch a free, ad-supported Xbox Cloud Gaming tier that allows streaming without a Game Pass subscription. Microsoft has been internally testing the ad-supported cloud streaming option with employees. The service will use pre-roll ads roughly two minutes long before gameplay. Sessions will be limited to about one hour each and approximately five hours per month, with limits subject to change before public availability. The ad-supported tier will permit streaming of owned games, select eligible titles, and retro games. A public beta test is planned, followed by a broader rollout in subsequent months.
