Xbox Reveals New Pricing Plans For Cloud Gaming

Microsoft is in the middle of decoupling its cloud gaming service from Game Pass . Starting today, Xbox Insiders will have the option of streaming games even if they aren’t current subscribers. It’s turning what was once known as Xbox Cloud Gaming into Xbox Cloud Playtime with a pay-as-you-go model that’s more flexible. The program is expected to roll out “more broadly” in November. At that point, people will be able to pay for cloud gaming time a la carte starting at $0.40 an hour.
