Explore the World of Xbox Game Pass: A Comprehensive Guide to Tiers, Games, and Genres

Xbox Game Pass provides a vast library of games for both console and PC, including day-one access to new releases. This guide details the subscription tiers, game categories, and how to find your next favorite title.

Understanding Xbox Game Pass Tiers

Xbox Game Pass offers three subscription tiers: Standard, Core, and Ultimate, each with escalating price points and features. All tiers operate on a monthly payment basis. To locate a specific game, use Ctrl/Cmd + F (keyboard) or your browser's "Find In Page" function.

Xbox Game Pass Tiers Detailed:

• Xbox PC Game Pass: ($9.99/month) Access to hundreds of PC games, day-one releases, member discounts, and a free EA Play membership (including EA titles, in-game rewards, and trials). Note: Online multiplayer and cross-platform play may be limited for some games.

• Xbox Console Game Pass: ($10.99/month) Hundreds of console games, day-one access, and member discounts. Online multiplayer and cross-platform play may be restricted for certain games. EA Play is not included.
