Microsoft has introduced a 15-hour monthly cap for cloud gaming on Game Pass Ultimate, with the option to buy extra hours.
Microsoft has introduced a monthly time limit for cloud gaming on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, capping usage at 15 hours per month. The company will allow subscribers and non-subscribers to purchase additional hours if they exceed this allowance. This move appears to be a direct response to the service's profitability, as one report suggests the 15-hour cap was set precisely at the point where cloud gaming stops being profitable for Microsoft.
