Players who are already subscribers of Xbox Live Gold will directly become Core subscribers.

Reports state that the new Xbox Game Pass Core will cost about 9.99 USD per month or 59.99 USD per year. It is to be noted that, the games which were available through Gold won’t be available after September 14.

However, the good news is that, with the new subscription, players will now get to enjoy a catalog of 25 games. Games, which were purchased with Gold will remain in the account permanently.

One has to subscribe to Xbox Game Pass Core to play online. Additionally, varied offers will also be available on Core.

The games which are confirmed so far for Xbox Game Pass Core are as follows: Among Us, Descenders, Dishonored 2, DOOM Eternal, Fable Anniversary, Fallout 4, Fallout 76, Forza Horizon 4, Gers 5, Grounded, Halo 5: Guardians, Hallo Wars, Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice. Human Fall Flat, Inside, Ori and the Will of the Wisps, Psychonauts 2, State of Decay 2, and The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited.

Past that, Microsoft has chosen to align Xbox Live with Sony and Nintendo’s online administrations by dropping the membership prerequisite for nothing to-mess around. Famous allowed to-play titles like Fortnite are playable on PlayStation comforts and the Nintendo Switch without an online membership, however, you actually need one for Xbox supports; Microsoft says it’s “working hard to deliver this change as soon as possible in the coming months.”

We messed up today and you were right to let us know. Connecting and playing with friends is a vital part of gaming and we failed to meet the expectations of players who count on it every day. As a result, we have decided not to change Xbox Live Gold pricing.

We’re turning this moment into an opportunity to bring Xbox Live more in line with how we see the player at the center of their experience. For free-to-play games, you will no longer need an Xbox Live Gold membership to play those games on Xbox. We are working hard to deliver this change as soon as possible in the coming months.

If you are an Xbox Live Gold member already, you stay at your current price for renewal. New and existing members can continue to enjoy Xbox Live Gold for the same prices they pay today. In the US, $9.99 for 1-month, $24.99 for 3-months, $39.99 for 6-months and $59.99 for retail 12-months.

Thank you.
