Microsoft is allowing some members of the Xbox Insider Program to try out fresh Xbox Cloud Gaming features, specifically a new user interface for accessing profiles, achievements, and more.
A new report claims that Microsoft will no longer provide free access to its Xbox Game Pass Ultimate service for most of the company's over 200,000 employees starting in January 2024
So far, Microsoft has not commented on why it decided to cut the $1 trial period for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass by over half, from a month to just two weeks or 14 days.
After doing away with its first-month trial offer for just $1 a few months ago, Microsoft has brought it back for its Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass subscription services.
In a new interview, Xbox Game Studios head Matt Booty claims that cloud gaming is still very small, adding "I'm not even sure you would call it a market yet, in fact." He did not offer specifics.
