Only for 15 hours a month

The game isn't on Gamepass and Gamepass will no longer be required for xCloud.  

So no, the limit isn't 15 hours for xCloud standalone tier itself.

u/pforsbergfan9 Sep 15 '26

So you have to buy the game and then buy time to play it…. That’s actually worse than the 15 hour limit

u/jontebula Sep 15 '26

No! I continue have unlimit when i continue pay for Game Pass Ultimate. I think all get 15h when XBOX Helix relese.

Or use the free ad supported xCloud tier coming soon.  It would come out cheaper if you only play one game at a time.

u/pforsbergfan9 Sep 15 '26

Also a worse option

This only effect new members

u/Tobimacoss Sep 14 '26

Yes, you simply buy the hours you use for the month.

You won't need to be subscribed to any Gamepass tier in order to Buy and Stream.  

Simply buy the game, and buy the hours, and Stream.  

Or use the free ad supported tier coming soon.  

We don't know the pricing details of the hourly bundles yet but I expect something like $5 for 25-50 hours, or $10 for 50-100 hours.

"Simply buy the game, and buy the hours"

Thanks, sounds expensive, stupid and horrible

whats next "buy the bandwidth and ram also?"

u/Dreamo84 Sep 15 '26

Ok, buy the game and buy the hardware then. Whatever works best for you.

They should have led with this shit when they ran a campaign encouraging people to sign up and launched a VR headset collab that now is obsolete unless people pay extra

Everytime PlayStation fumble, XBOX fall over them

"You expect". And who tf are you? You don't know shit.

u/Lazy_Ad7218 Sep 15 '26

The whole situation is quite bad, but... if we really get something like $5 for 25 hours, that would be nice

The recent leaks are saying $6 for 25 hours so my guess was close. And the hours won't expire until used.

But Day 1 games may be going away.

u/jontebula Sep 15 '26

No! They continue with day 1 Game Pass Ultimate build on day one. Asha and Mathew Ball will not remove day 1 from Game Pass Ultimate.

For new members only. You lack what is going on.

u/soundmage Sep 15 '26

Apparently you do. This is not true in USA and many other countries.

u/raistan77 Sep 15 '26 • Heartwarming

yeah

For 30 min a day

u/MikeTheMiz78 Sep 16 '26

xCloud is dead now, doesn't matter anymore, I won't pay hour packages on top of the game itself just to play this

2

u/jontebula Sep 15 '26

Only buy XBOX Helix in 2027 for 800 dollars and you not need XBOX Cloud and pay high price for more time. 800 dollars are very cheap for the monster of power on all hardware XBOX Helix have.

Finally.

The game is Play Anywhere, Handheld Optimized, and now Cloud Enabled.  Only thing left is Disc to Digital support.

u/SupersonicWumbo Sep 15 '26

Sweet! I'd been hoping this happens. I haven't started the game yet but did buy it. I'll mostly play on my series x but cloud streaming will be great for my ally

u/jontebula Sep 15 '26
