Unlock the World of Xbox Game Pass: A Comprehensive Guide to Tiers, Games, and Genres
Xbox Game Pass provides a vast library of games for console and PC, including day-one access to new releases. This guide breaks down the different subscription tiers, explains their features, and showcases games categorized by genre.
Understanding Xbox Game Pass Tiers
Xbox Game Pass offers three tiers: Standard, Core, and Ultimate, each with increasing price and benefits. All tiers operate on a monthly subscription basis. To find specific games, use Ctrl/Cmd + F (keyboard) or your browser's "Find In Page" function.
Xbox PC Game Pass
Priced at $9.99/month, this tier offers hundreds of PC games, day-one access to new releases, membership discounts, and a free EA Play membership (including EA titles, rewards, and trials). Note: Online multiplayer and cross-platform play may be limited for some games.
Xbox Console Game Pass
At $10.99/month, this tier provides hundreds of console games, day-one access, and membership discounts. However, it lacks online multiplayer (for certain games), cross-platform play, and the free EA Play membership.
Xbox Core Game Pass
Exclusively for consoles, this $9.99/month tier includes online multiplayer but offers a curated selection of 25 games instead of the full catalog. EA Play is not included.
Xbox Ultimate Game Pass
The ultimate experience at $16.99/month, available for both PC and console. This tier encompasses all benefits from lower tiers (online multiplayer, EA Play), plus cloud saves and membership perks.
