Microsoft is rolling out a standalone Xbox Cloud Gaming option that allows players to stream eligible games without a Game Pass subscription. The service is currently available to Xbox Insiders as part of a preview and is expected to roll out to all users in November.
During the preview, Xbox Insiders can purchase cloud playtime, stream games on supported devices and share feedback with Microsoft. The company is also allowing Insiders to try cloud gaming for free with ads, offering another way to access the service without subscribing to Game Pass.
