Ad-supported Xbox Cloud Gaming could be coming soon. As The Verge’s Tom Warren posted on X just before the weekend, some Xbox users started seeing notifications on the Xbox app that said: “1-hour of ad-supported play time per session.” We don’t yet know when this free tier could launch, but it could be soon.
As Warren also reported on The Verge, Microsoft has been testing ad-supported Xbox Cloud Gaming for months and is preparing to test it with Xbox Insiders. The Xbox app notification aligns with Microsoft’s testing. Warren says that, so far, the testing has been limited to one-hour play sessions, and that users will get up to five hours free per month.
