The transition will occur in September, and once that happens, everyone who is subscribed to
Xbox Games With Gold & Game Pass Core Features
A Core subscription will be required for anyone who wants to go online. And those who are subscribed will get special discounts only available to Game Pass subscribers before this change. But the most notable difference is that subscribers will no longer get monthly games, which might be a massive bummer for most fans. Instead, they will be given access to a collection of 25 Game Pass titles, and Microsoft promises that the list will continue to grow. You can see some of the games with the Core tier below:
- Among Us
- Descenders
- Dishonored 2
- DOOM Eternal
- Fable Anniversary
- Fallout 4
- Fallout 76
- Forza Horizon 4
- Gears 5
- Grounded
- Halo 5: Guardians
- Halo Wars 2
- Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice
- Human Fall Flat
- INSIDE
- Ori and the Will of the Wisps
- Psychonauts 2
- State of Decay 2
- The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited
Xbox Live Gold subscribers do not need to worry, however, since the games they have claimed will remain on their account indefinitely. But it is worrying to see that people will not get free games tied to their accounts after this change.
