Microsoft testing ad-supported cloud gaming

Microsoft is testing a free (albeit ad-supported) cloud-gaming model for Xbox games. Starting today, gamers who signed up for Microsoft's Xbox Insider Program will be able to play games from their library that are cloud-compatible, without paying for a Game Pass Ultimate subscription. They will, however, have to watch ads at the beginning of the session. Microsoft is currently capping playtime at one hour per session; use up your time and you'll have to watch more ads. There's no word yet on how long the test will be running.
