Microsoft caps Xbox Cloud Gaming hours for Ultimate subscribers, adds pay-as-you-go option

Microsoft will impose monthly cloud gaming hour caps: 15 hours for Ultimate, 10 for Premium, and 5 for Essential starting in November, with additional hours purchasable in rollover bundles. A pay-as-you-go option will also let non-Game Pass users access cloud gaming. The move, aimed at controlling rising cloud costs after a year of broader access, could push some players toward hardware upgrades or different subscriptions.

Game Pass Ultimate Faces a Lean September Start as Major Titles Exit

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate’s early September 2026 lineup is thin, with Cyberpunk 2077 leaving mid-month and only a single exclusive drop, while Speedrunners 2: King of Speed leads a wave that also includes several older titles across Cloud/Console/PC; more titles and stronger additions are hoped for in the second half of September to sustain value ahead of October’s releases.

Xbox consoles gain 1440p streaming for Game Pass Ultimate subscribers

Microsoft is rolling out 1440p game streaming on Xbox consoles for Game Pass Ultimate members, delivering higher-bitrate streams on Series X/S and Xbox One X/One when displays support it; games you own outside Game Pass can be streamed as of 2025. The update also adds PC‑app navigation sounds, easier removable-storage formatting on ASUS ROG Xbox Ally devices with driver updates, and comes as Microsoft reshapes its gaming leadership with Asha Sharma taking over from Phil Spencer.

Forza Horizon 6 Hikes Early Access Price, Sparking Fan Backlash

Kotaku reports that Forza Horizon 6 raises the cost for early access: Premium Edition is now $120, and even Game Pass Ultimate subscribers must pay $60 to upgrade for four days of early play (up from $50). The article argues this ‘early access tax’ is steep, especially since Horizon 6 is a $70 title and the delay is only a few days. The game launches May 19 on PC and Xbox, with Premium access on May 15 and a PS5 release planned later this year.
