A free, ad-supported tier is set to launch on Xbox Cloud Gaming later this year | Infinium-tech
There have been rumors that Microsoft is working on a free, ad-supported tier for its Xbox cloud gaming service, and now we have solid evidence coming straight from Microsoft.
Some users report that they have seen a new message stating “1 hour of ad-supported playtime per session”, although there is no such tier yet. This is a clear indication that the company is preparing a free tier, confirming earlier rumors.
Microsoft plans to launch an ad-supported tier later this year, according to people familiar with the matter, and it wouldn’t be the first company to do so. Nvidia’s GeForce Now platform offers an ad-supported subscription that allows you to play for up to an hour each day at 1080p resolution.
This is a convenient way for people to try their hand at AAA gaming titles without having to spend a small fortune on a PC build just to try out some games. Especially these days with the ever-rising prices of memory chips and GPUs.
