Xbox is introducing monthly time limits for its Cloud Gaming service across all Game Pass tiers starting in November. Individuals with Game Pass Ultimate will receive 15 hours, while Premium members get 10 hours, and Essential members receive 5 hours; additional playtime can be purchased. Xbox says the change is needed because cloud gaming costs increase with more usage, and it expects only 4% of subscribers to be affected.
