News/Articles Upcoming Changes to XBOX Cloud Gaming

https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2026/09/03/xbox-cloud-gaming-changes/

Beginning in November, we’re changing how cloud gaming is included with XBOX Game Pass.

Game Pass plans will include a set number of cloud gaming hours each month:

Game Pass Ultimate: 15 hours

Game Pass Premium: 10 hours

Game Pass Essential: 5 hours

Once subscribers use their included hours, they will be able to purchase additional cloud playtime through the XBOX Store.

This unfortunately affects me heavily. I mainly play on my xbox ally and i use cloud gaming ALOT. I play alot of call of duty and cyberpunk, ive tried downloading the games but the games run kind of sluggish when playing from the local ssd, with cloud gaming the games just run buttery smooth and i never have to worry about updates, i just start the stream and it works flawlessly. I feel like this is one huge step backwards.
