Xbox launches new cloud gaming service: playing without a subscription is now possible
Published
Microsoft has announced a major development for the world of video games: the introduction of "cloud playtime." This new feature will allow users to access Xbox titles via streaming without having to sign up for the traditional monthly Game Pass subscription.
The service is based on a pay-as-you-go system. Users will be able to purchase time blocks for cloud gaming: the cost will be $3.99 for 10 hours of gameplay. This solution is designed for those who play occasionally and do not want to pay a fixed fee every month.
The testing phase for "Insider" users will begin on October 21. Microsoft has already confirmed that the official global release of the service is scheduled for November, making the platform accessible to a wider audience.
This strategy marks a significant shift for the company, which aims to make cloud gaming more flexible and accessible, including in Italy. Thanks to this option, gamers will be able to test games directly from their own devices, without the need to own a physical console or commit to long-term subscriptions.
