You pay one monthly price to unlock an entire catalog of Xbox and/or PC games (depending on the platform you game on). There are hundreds of different titles to play 24/7, for as long as your membership is active— including new releases (like Forza Horizon 5 and Starfield) on the day they launch!

There are now more tiers of Xbox Game Pass subscriptions than ever, which is a little confusing, but perfect for picking the plan that’s right for you. For a breakdown of all the different Game Pass membership types, including the new Game Pass “Core”, check out the blog post right here.
