Xbox Cloud Gaming Could Be Getting New Tier Soon

Microsoft’s game streaming service, first known as xCloud, has been available since November 2019 as a benefit for Xbox Game Pass subscribers in certain regions. It originally required the top-tier ‘Ultimate’ subscription, but in August 2025, Microsoft made it available to all Game Pass members (excluding those on PC). Later, in November 2025, the company announced plans to offer a free version of the service supported by advertisements, confirming long-standing speculation.
