Xbox Tests Ad-Supported Cloud Gaming for Insiders

Microsoft Xbox is testing an optional ad-supported cloud streaming feature for Insiders, letting players stream owned or free-to-play titles for one-hour sessions with two-minute pre-roll ads and no gameplay interruptions, as it explores a potential affordable model and future ad-supported tier. The tests, spanning multiple devices and regions, emphasize that participation is voluntary and does not require a Game Pass subscription for the initial experience.
