Xbox Introduces 15-Hour Monthly Cap on Cloud Gaming for Game Pass Subscribers
Microsoft says new limit on Xbox cloud gaming is intended to offset rising infrastructure costs and support performance investment, according to BBC Technology.
Xbox has introduced a monthly limit of 15 hours for cloud gaming under its Game Pass subscription service, according to BBC Technology.
The company said the cap was necessitated by the rising cost of providing cloud gaming services. Xbox stated that the change would allow it to invest more in improving the performance of the service.
The report did not specify further details on pricing tiers, how the limit would be enforced, or whether additional hours could be purchased separately.
Game Pass, Microsoft's subscription service for video games, includes cloud gaming as one of its features, allowing subscribers to stream titles without downloading them to a local device.
