Xbox Xbox Game Pass Core

[David76]

On September 14, Xbox Live Gold members will automatically become Game Pass Core members, with no change in pricing, and have immediate access to a new library of over 25 high-quality games.

"Xbox Game Pass Core is an evolution of Xbox Live Gold and will bring online play together with Game Pass, and a select collection of over 25 games in a new offering for gamers around the world," says a press release from Xbox UK.

This cheap(er) version of Game Pass will set you back either £6.99 GBP per month or £49.99 GBP per year and will come with some of the key Xbox titles included in the service. The changeover will kick off on September 14.

This means, even without subbing up to the more expensive tier of Game Pass, you will be able to play Gears 5, Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice, Grounded, Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited, and more as part of your membership.

Players can continue to access any Xbox One games they previously redeemed through Games with Gold if they remain a Game Pass Core or Game Pass Ultimate member.

Regardless of subscription status, any Xbox 360 titles redeemed via Games with Gold in the past will be kept in a player's library.

The launch collection of more than 25 titles from Xbox Game Studios, Bethesda, and content partners will offer something for everyone to play on their Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One consoles. The following titles for launch, with more to be announced in advance of September 14. New titles will be added 2-3 times a year.

• Among Us
• Descenders
• Dishonored 2
• Doom Eternal
• Fable Anniversary
• Fallout 4
• Fallout 76
• Forza Horizon 4
• Gears 5
• Grounded
• Halo 5: Guardians
• Halo Wars 2
• Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice
• Human Fall Flat
• Inside
• Ori & The Will of the Wisps
• Psychonauts 2
• State of Decay 2
• The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited

So, need a quick recap of all these changes? Here's the key info:

• At launch, all Xbox Live Gold members will automatically become Game Pass Core members
• Games with Gold will come to an end on September 14, when Game Pass Core kicks in
• You will still be able to access any Xbox One games you have redeemed through Games with Gold, but only if you remain a Game Pass Ultimate or Game Pass Core member (this is how it's always worked)
• Regardless of subscription status, any Xbox 360 titles redeemed via Games with Gold in the past will be kept in your library

"With Game Pass Core, players will have access to a select collection of over 25 games to play on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One consoles for £6.99 GBP per month or £49.99 GBP per year, starting with titles including Gears 5, Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice, Grounded, Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited, and more," says a press release.
