Fusion42 · 4 October 2026 · Fusion42 review

Microsoft will discontinue Xbox Cloud Gaming support on some older Samsung TVs due to outdated technology but insists it is still investing in cloud gaming development, including new controllers with built-in Wi-Fi to reduce latency. New time limits for cloud gaming use in Game Pass will start in November to manage rising operational costs.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Gaming.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You must prepare for tighter cost controls in cloud gaming that restrict user time but signal ongoing serious bets from Microsoft on reducing latency and improving quality. This shapes opportunities around complementary hardware and latency optimisation for your gaming products.
