With the news that Microsoft's popular franchise Halo will make the jump to the PlayStation platform for the first time with next year's Halo: Campaign Evolved, the company confirmed it is testing a free ad-supported version of its Xbox Cloud Gaming, which is included in the Game Pass service .

As Xbox Game Pass grows ever bigger, I'm keeping careful track of the best new additions, upcoming arrivals, which games are leaving soon, and much more.

The rumored ad-supported tier for Xbox Cloud Gaming is now official, with public testing likely to commence soon.

Free Play Days is here! This weekend, Xbox has five games playable as part of the program - including the latest EA Sports FC release, ghost-hunting sim Phasmophobia and multiplayer horror title The Outlast Trials; right as the game gets its brand-new 'Invasion' update which we've showcased up above.

All three paid Game Pass tiers include unlimited cloud gaming, but wait times get longer the further down you go. It’s fair to assume that any free cloud service not tied to Game Pass will be hit with longer wait times, though perhaps the enforced ads would hide those pretty well anyway.

In an exciting development for gaming enthusiasts, Microsoft has confirmed it is testing a free version of its Xbox Cloud Gaming service. This new offering, which may be ad-supported, could provide access to select games without the need for an Xbox Game Pass subion, making it an attractive option for casual gamers and those without a console.

In the coming months, Microsoft will reportedly launch a free version of Xbox cloud game streaming that will likely play a pre-roll ad lasting two minutes and sessions lasting up to one hour.

Microsoft has revealed the next wave of video games heading to Xbox Game Pass, and it includes titles like The Outer Worlds 2 and Football Manager 26.

The Outer Worlds 2 launches day one on Game Pass, giving subscribers instant access to Obsidian’s next big RPG. Here’s how that affects your gaming future

Microsoft revolutionized online multiplayer in the console space with Xbox Live in 2002. And ever since then, playing games online has come at a cost for Xbox owners. But that might not be the case going forward with the next-gen Xbox system, according to a new report.

Xbox Game Pass has a new day one game being hailed by subscribers as "Game of the Year" and a perfect "10/10" experience.
