Xbox Cloud Gaming's new hourly cap is reportedly set exactly where Microsoft stops making money on it
Microsoft has reportedly implemented hourly caps on Xbox Cloud Gaming for Game Pass subscribers, with the limits set at the service's break-even point. Game Pass Essential users get 5 hours, Premium 10 hours, and Ultimate 15 hours per month. This move is attributed to cost pressures, including AI investments impacting server capacity, and a broader trend of cost-cutting within the Xbox division.
