✦AI Summary
Microsoft is testing a free, ad-supported cloud gaming tier for Xbox Insiders that allows users to stream games they already own. This move follows a broader industry trend of incorporating ad-supported tiers into subscription services.
Xbox Insiders can stream games from their libraries for free in ad-supported streaming sessions starting today. The free streaming sessions are limited to games you already own, and sessions are capped at one hour. However, ads will only play “before sessions begin.” It’s also optional — you won’t need to watch ads if you have a paid cloud gaming subscription.
