Balaji Telefilms Strikes YouTube Deal; Microsoft Limits Cloud Gaming Hours

Balaji Telefilms, a major Indian television producer, is venturing into a significant partnership with YouTube India, agreeing to produce five shows with a total of 200 episodes for the platform. This move signifies a growing trend of traditional media companies adapting to the digital landscape and monetizing content on streaming services.

In parallel, Microsoft is implementing changes to its Xbox Cloud Gaming service. Subscribers to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate will face a new limit of 15 hours per month for cloud gaming, a reduction from previous unlimited access. The company is also introducing a pay-as-you-go option for cloud gaming, aiming to attract users who do not require a full subscription.
