Microsoft has revealed how much its Xbox cloud gaming service is going to cost, with 50 hours of stream-time selling for an introductory price of $11.99.

The short version

  • This information comes from a post on the official Xbox news website , which explains that starting today, Xbox Insiders will be able to stream games using the paid service without needing an active Game Pass subscription.
  • This comes ahead of a planned rollout to all Xbox players in November.
  • These paid packs provide an ad-free version of the free cloud gaming service revealed earlier this year .

What happened

It's worth noting that even people paying for the Xbox cloud streaming service will encounter wait times during peak hours, though the blog post stated these waits will be shorter. Microsoft previously revealed that monthly time limits will be placed on its paid Xbox cloud gaming service , though it insisted only a fraction of players would run into this cut-off point.

Why it matters

A report claimed a 15-hour cap placed on the Game Pass Ultimate cloud gaming service was present as that's the moment Xbox starts losing money .
