Microsoft announced it is now letting Xbox Insiders not subscribed to Xbox Game Pass purchase cloud playtime. This will roll out more broadly in November.
During this period, cloud playtime will be available at an introductory launch price of $3.99 for 10 hours, $7.99 for 25 hours, and $11.99 for 50 hours. Cloud playtime can also be used for free with ads.
"Starting today, Xbox Insiders can try a new way to stream games by purchasing cloud playtime without a Game Pass subscription," reads the Xbox Wire post.
"This preview gives Xbox Insiders who do not have an active Game Pass subscription an early look at the new option before it rolls out more broadly in November. During the preview, Xbox Insiders can purchase cloud playtime, stream games on supported devices, and share feedback to help us continue improving the experience.
"Cloud playtime packs provide an ad-free cloud gaming experience, including shorter wait times, high-quality streaming, and playtime that remains available until it’s used.
"As we previously shared, Xbox Insiders can also try cloud gaming for free with ads, giving players another option for accessing cloud gaming without a Game Pass subscription.
"Thanks to all the Xbox Insiders who participate and share feedback as we continue testing more ways to play with Xbox Cloud Gaming."

Honestly... those prices aren't bad at all
Key words: "introductory launch price"
Free cloud playtime with ads... I wonder how frequently you get ads because that sounds a bit suspicious.
