  1. What are the terms and conditions for cloud playable games available on xbox.com?


    I would like to know where can I get information about for how long a game is playable online (in a browser, like Jedi Fallen Order or Gears of War: Ultimate Edition) with an Ultimate Game Pass subscription. Are there any guidelines in place, like if a game appears in the cloud gaming library it'll be available for at least X months? or similar?

    Why I'm asking. I don't plan to be a constant Ultimate Game Pass subscriber, because I don't play that much. I'm willing to subscribe for a month or two to play certain titles. Let's assume that the "Next Big Hit" game gets added to XBox's cloud game library on March 1st. I subscribe for a month on March 4th just to be able to play that game, remotely, in my browser, without the need for an XBox. What's preventing Microsoft from pulling the game on March 5th?

    (I know, the example is an edge case, but imagine that someone subscribe to play a game that's was available for 4 months in the cloud game library at that point, and then a few days later it's going away.)

    :)

    I did see the list of games "leaving", but I didn't see "when" tho', in a day, week, month? :O

    About trueachivements.com. Is this a site where somebody may post news about when certain games are going away, so I need to be on the lookout?

    The shortest period of time Microsoft has ever licensed a gamepass game for is 3 months i believe. I’ve never seen a streaming service grab something for less

    I bought Yakuza during the sale, surprised to see cloud support appears to have been removed.

    The list of leaving games isnon the front page of the Game Pass app. They’re announced 2 weeks in advance typically

    Shame on me, you're right, it's there, thanks! I got carried away in rant mode to notice this.

    Would be nice to see this exact information on the detail page of individual games tho', but this is better than nothing.

    Edit: on another hand, posting this info on a news site on Jan 4 (that select games are leaving on Jan 15) is kind of a short notice for me. A month in advance would be nice, hope MS hears this :)

    Exactly. When you bought it, they could have notified you that "games are removed from the cloud library on a regular basis, Yakuza remains available at least up until 15th of March" or something.

    > The list of leaving games isnon the front page of the Game Pass app. They’re announced 2 weeks in advance typically

    That's a start, but still. Microsoft should have some official timeline for this :(

    There's not a set amount of time a game will be available. It's up to what the publisher's decide with Microsoft. They do announce ahead of time what/when games will be removed from the service through the Game Pass app and places like Trueachievements.com are good about posting articles with that information as well.
