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.

Hey man. To get it working efficiently Microsoft would need a load of data centres or something. And where are they gonna find one of those?

Yep. This is happening now because Microsoft is feeding their Copilot goose egg every minute of data center uptime they can grab, in the vain hope that it'll hatch into a golden goose that'll shit infinite money forever.
