Unlock the World of Xbox Game Pass: A Comprehensive Guide to Tiers, Games, and Genres
Xbox Game Pass provides extensive gaming access across consoles and PCs, including day-one releases. This guide details the service's tiers, subscription types, and game selection 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 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
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, in-game rewards, and trials). Note: Online multiplayer and cross-platform play may be limited for some games.
Xbox Console Game Pass
Priced at $10.99/month, this tier provides hundreds of console games, day-one access, and membership discounts. However, it lacks online multiplayer, cross-platform play (for certain games), and the free EA Play membership included in the PC version.
Xbox Core Game Pass
Exclusive to consoles, this $9.99/month tier features online multiplayer (unlike the standard console pass) but limits game access to a curated selection of 25 titles. EA Play is not included.
Xbox Ultimate Game Pass
The premium tier at $16.99/month, accessible on both PC and console, bundles all benefits from lower tiers (including online multiplayer and EA Play). Unique additions are Cloud Saving and Membership Perks.
