Xbox Cloud Gaming is a feature included in a Game Pass Ultimate subscription -- which costs $20 a month. The feature is still in beta, but it allows subscribers to access and play certain games from the Game Pass library on other devices without an Xbox console.

Microsoft has removed access to a potentially useful option from Xbox Game Pass less than two weeks before the launch of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. The Xbox Game Pass subscription option might have given budget-conscious players a chance to play Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 for much less than its retail asking price.
