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 details the different subscription tiers, explains their features, and categorizes games by genre.

Understanding Xbox Game Pass Tiers

Xbox Game Pass offers three tiers with varying prices and benefits: Standard, Core, and Ultimate. All tiers operate on a monthly subscription basis. To locate a specific game, use your keyboard's Ctrl/Cmd + F keys or your mobile browser's "Find in Page" function.

Xbox PC Game Pass

Xbox PC Game Pass

Priced at $9.99 per month, Xbox PC Game Pass offers hundreds of PC games, day-one access to new releases, and member discounts. It also includes EA Play, providing access to select EA titles, in-game rewards, and trials. Note that online multiplayer and cross-platform play may be limited for some games.

Xbox Console Game Pass

Xbox Console Game Pass

The standard console version costs $10.99 monthly, offering hundreds of console games, day-one access, and member discounts. However, online multiplayer and cross-platform play are not guaranteed for all titles, and EA Play is not included.

Xbox Core Game Pass

Xbox Core Game Pass

Exclusive to consoles, Xbox Core Game Pass costs $9.99 per month. It features online multiplayer (unlike the standard console pass) but offers a curated selection of 25 games instead of the full catalog. EA Play is not included.

Xbox Ultimate Game Pass

Xbox Ultimate Game Pass

At $16.99 per month, Xbox Ultimate Game Pass is the premium tier, available for both PC and console. It encompasses all benefits from lower tiers (including online multiplayer and EA Play) and adds cloud saves and membership perks.
