I’ve previously covered Xbox’s latest backend updates, thanks to @redphx on X, who tracks them through Microsoft’s public-facing backend. Through this, we’ve had early insight into a new project called "TRITON". Based on redphx’s findings, TRITON appears to be a Game Pass tier focused on first-party Xbox games. That includes titles like Doom, Halo, Hellblade, State of Decay, and more.
Not long after, another codename surfaced alongside TRITON, called "Duet". At the time, redphx suggested this could hint at some form of Netflix integration, something Xbox CEO Asha Sharma and Netflix co-CEO Greg Peters have reportedly discussed.
Now, in a new update tied to TRITON and Duet, redphx has uncovered references suggesting users could be limited by a monthly time allowance for Xbox Cloud Gaming. Limiting playtime isn’t unheard of in the cloud gaming space. NVIDIA’s GeForce Now, for example, caps users at around 100 hours of playtime on its highest tier, which costs $19.99.

Maybe just give me Gamepass without Cloud? I don’t need it and have never used it, why am I paying for it?
This is exactly what I had imagined when they talked about “more flexible pricing structure” or whatever. Expecting the price of GPU to come back down was hopium
Wow.. sounds dumb
They should do a build a pass, add what you want for each platform. Discounts the more you add. This really isn’t hard M$
I cancelled GeForce Now because of time limit and I will also cancel game pass if it’s true.
Sure, let’s make even more confusing & convoluted tiers with silly names. That will fix everything.
