For more than two decades, Xbox players have connected through Xbox Live, engaging in competitive battles, cooperative missions, and immersive multiplayer experiences.

The launch collection of Xbox Game Pass Core will showcase an exceptional selection of titles from esteemed publishers such as Xbox Game Studios, Bethesda, and other content partners.

Among the exciting titles revealed are renowned gems like “Dishonored 2,” “Forza Horizon 4,” “Gears 5,” “Psychonauts 2,” and the critically acclaimed “Ori & The Will of the Wisps.” As an added treat, new games will be introduced to the collection 2-3 times a year, further expanding the already impressive roster of offerings.
For existing Xbox Live Gold members, the transition to Xbox Game Pass Core will be seamless. On September 14, all current Xbox Live Gold subscribers will automatically become Game Pass Core members, without any change in pricing.
This transition grants immediate access to the brand new library of over 25 top-tier games, ensuring a steady stream of quality entertainment. Furthermore, Game Pass Core members will have access to member-exclusive deals and discounts, providing even more value for their subscription.
It is important to note that with the introduction of Xbox Game Pass Core, the Games with Gold program will conclude on September 1. However, players can rest assured that any Xbox One games they previously redeemed through Games with Gold will remain accessible as long as they maintain their Game Pass Core or Game Pass Ultimate membership.
Additionally, regardless of subscription status, all Xbox 360 titles redeemed via Games with Gold in the past will be preserved within a player’s library, ensuring that cherished memories can be revisited whenever desired.
As the gaming landscape continues to evolve, Xbox is steadfast in its commitment to offering players unparalleled choice, value, and immersive experiences.
