xbox game pass ultimate is about to give you 15 cloud hours a month. fifteen.

microsoft says unlimited cloud gaming inside game pass ends in november. ultimate gets 15 hours a month, premium gets 10, essential gets 5. after that you buy more time. xbox says it expects about 4% of subscribers to hit the cap, which is a very funny way to describe the people actually using cloud gaming the most. i keep thinking about xbox one owners using the cloud as the escape hatch for series-only games. now the escape hatch has a meter on it. servers are not free, i get it. but 15 hours is not a gaming month. that is one bad weekend with a new rpg.
