It seems that after hiking the prices for Xbox Game Pass by 50%, Microsoft isn’t done making changes to its Xbox gaming services, as a new report from The Verge alleges that a new free version of Xbox Cloud Gaming is currently being internally tested, with a public test to be announced soon. The catch to this version being free is, unexpectedly, it’ll be free *with ads.
How it’ll work, according to The Verge, is that players will be able to stream free-to-play games, some games that players own, and a collection of Xbox Retro Classic titles. How the ads will work is that players will have to sit through two minutes of ads before they can stream a game, and they’ll reportedly only get five free hours per month, in one-hour sessions.
It’ll be available on PC, consoles, and handheld devices. The first public beta test is apparently coming
