Microsoft is gearing up to launch a free, ad-supported tier for Xbox Cloud Gaming, with rumors pointing to a possible announcement in the coming weeks.
Here’s what we know:
- Free users will likely get limited playtime (think one-hour sessions).
- You’ll probably have to watch ads before starting.
- The game library will be smaller—possibly older titles, Free Play Days games, and games you already own.
This follows a broader shift at Microsoft away from console exclusives, as seen with Xbox games coming to PlayStation and declining hardware sales.
We might get official details during Microsoft’s Developer_Direct stream this Thursday.
