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 different subscription tiers, their features, and a categorized game list.
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 find a specific game, use Ctrl/Cmd + F (keyboard) or your browser's "Find in Page" function.
Xbox PC Game Pass
Priced at $9.99/month, this tier includes hundreds of PC games, day-one access to new releases, member discounts, and a free EA Play membership (access to select EA titles, rewards, and trials). Note: Online multiplayer and cross-platform play may be limited for some games.
Xbox Console Game Pass
The standard console version costs $10.99/month, offering hundreds of console games, day-one access, and member discounts. Online multiplayer and cross-platform play are not included for all games, and EA Play is not part of this tier.

Xbox Ultimate Game Pass
At $16.99/month, the Ultimate tier encompasses all benefits from lower tiers (online multiplayer, EA Play) plus cloud saves and membership perks. Available for both PC and console.
