Game Pass Core has replaced Xbox Live Gold as a unique tier of Xbox Game Pass, offering an enhanced online multiplayer gaming experience. It’s ideal for players eager to dive into the multiplayer features of their favorite games, allowing them to explore diverse worlds, team up with friends, and create extraordinary realms together. The subscription also includes additional benefits.
Game Pass Core goes beyond multiplayer gaming. Unlike Xbox Live Gold, which offered two free games monthly, Game Pass Core provides access to a library of over 25 high-quality titles across popular genres like FPS, RPG, action-adventure, and racing. These games are available for immediate play on Xbox Series X|S or Xbox One consoles. Note that Xbox 360 owners can use Game Pass Core for online play but won’t have access to the game catalog.
With Game Pass Core, subscribers enjoy exclusive deals and discounts, saving up to 50% on video games. Additionally, Free Play Days events allow players to try selected new releases at no cost.
Existing Xbox Live Gold subscribers were seamlessly transitioned to Game Pass Core, retaining any stacked subscription time. Previously purchased Xbox Live Gold codes can be redeemed for Game Pass Core benefits. The subscription includes recurring billing by default, which can be disabled at any time via your console or Microsoft account.
