Online streaming services like Netflix offer cheap plans with ads.

Xbox could offer a free tier for xCloud, allowing users to play free game streaming in return for watching ads.

[{"selector":"#anim-6a26daee-48d1-4895-9082-9b5046ac5d35 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-8.998111465325941%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d145bef9-3303-4140-9496-b92b44827642","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-197dec4d-625a-44a5-b672-bbf0ed81064f","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(105.14905%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Tim Stuart, Xbox CFO, proposed this idea for regions like Africa and India, as spotted by TweakTown.

[{"selector":"#anim-4d7dbfae-6d75-4f16-9071-897e1cb710ac [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(22.347141895140677%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-11b90646-90cd-4124-b089-df2614b7d00c","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c9e8a874-dad1-47ae-af8f-aeabc84169fc","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-107.22222%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

This could be ideal in regions where console gaming may be less accessible.

[{"selector":"#anim-f49ba374-8cbc-419e-af0c-1a9f9eb3423b","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2479b9ad-3339-4a96-af21-1900c86cb9fd","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(110.08403%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e6850e09-72e0-4dbc-ac4c-f3aea8b8fcdf [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Xbox aims to reach millions of gamers in these regions.

[{"selector":"#anim-2c63287d-3319-4e58-8ca4-f322c5e3a57e [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a955d6c9-74c4-4110-9759-ed1c22ae1e87","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c9c04bf1-f643-4bbe-82d0-04709ad19351","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-108.19208%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The strategy differs from freemium games but could offer a new approach.

[{"selector":"#anim-b4c8722c-4d4f-4235-8ef9-6780bef03929 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(18.000000702305854%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7fe5b2e3-fd3e-4677-bf39-d70f0d14bc15","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-565a85d2-17fb-4082-91b4-502e3687accd","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(112.84404%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Xbox's potential ad-supported model aligns with mobile gaming trends.

[{"selector":"#anim-44d3672c-27b0-4335-abea-d0e03e6eee82","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ea73043d-39e0-4e5d-b70a-db1576522cb2","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-106.11112%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-bc037465-3194-4ef9-9191-8e4c3bf213c4 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-1.096695467087521%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

This strategy creates a win-win situation for both gamers and developers.

[{"selector":"#anim-1fd6a2c2-cff3-4b76-94d0-84f0a263f5cd [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-5.508776259884598%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c11d40b9-8bc9-4d1d-b976-ec2e9104e99d","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-aebc749e-a88a-4e28-aeca-714657087847","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(113.14986%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

It isn't clear when this may be implemented.
