Microsoft is developing a free, ad-supported Xbox Cloud Gaming subscription

The Verge reported that Microsoft is testing a free, ad-supported Xbox cloud subscription.

The offer is currently being tested internally: for watching two minutes of ads, the service offers about one hour of gameplay. This method allows for a total of five hours of gameplay per month. The subscription will provide access to both games from the user’s library and temporary promotional collections.

According to The Verge, the public release of the cloud subscription is planned for the near future, with public access to the service expected within a few months.
