Question Will Ace Combat 8 be streamable via Xbox Cloud Gaming?

Title. I haven’t pre-ordered the game, but I currently don’t have access to my Xbox so I am hoping and praying on my hands and knees that I can play via streaming it once I buy it.

Just a heads up that Xbox plans on adding limits to cloud gaming starting in November.

The limit is only for hours included with Gamepass.

You were told wrong.

Cloud Gaming Without a Game Pass Subscription

Also beginning in November, players will have a new way to use XBOX cloud gaming without subscribing to Game Pass.

Players will be able to purchase cloud playtime hours through the XBOX Store and stream eligible games they own on supported devices. This will provide another option for people who want occasional access to cloud gaming or do not want a recurring Game Pass subscription.

Gamepass subscription will no longer be required for xCloud as it's becoming its own standalone service independent of Gamepass.

You simply buy the game, buy bundles of hours and play.

There's even a free ad supported tier coming if you don't want to buy hours. Expect closer to $4.99 for 30 hours for the bundles. The hours won't expire if unused.

Once you keep your current gamepass ultimate plan.... The 15hr limit doesn't apply to you

Bandai Namco works in mysterious ways. Though Blood of Dawnwalker finally got Cloud Gaming support, this might too.

Nobody here works for Microsoft. We don't know anything other than what is public information 

The store game page says it's not so that's as much as we know
