TLDR

Microsoft will cap Xbox Cloud Gaming at 15 hours per month for Game Pass Ultimate subscribers, 10 hours for Premium, and 5 hours for Essential. Extra hours can be purchased separately. The limits take effect in November, nearly a year after cloud access expanded to all Game Pass subscribers. The Verge, Engadget, VideoCardz, and XDA reported the changes after seeing Xbox Game Pass UI screens and official details. The move restricts streaming to non-console devices while leaving console and PC play unaffected.
