What Is Xbox Game Pass?
Xbox Game Pass is a subscription service from Microsoft that gives you access to a large library of games on Xbox consoles, PC, and via cloud streaming. There are several tiers:
- Game Pass Ultimate includes console, PC, cloud streaming, and Xbox Live Gold.
- PC Game Pass covers PC titles only.
- Game Pass Standard includes console and PC games but no cloud or Day One titles.
- Game Pass Core gives access to a smaller rotating catalog of games.
Most games on this list are available on Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass. Titles marked as “Game Pass Premium” or “Game Pass Essential” may have more limited availability.
Which Platforms Can You Play On?
The Available On column tells you where each game can be played:
- Cloud means you can stream the game on any device without downloading it, including mobile.
- Xbox Series X|S means the game is available on the latest Xbox consoles.
- Console means it runs on both Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S.
- Handheld means the title is optimised for handheld play (ROG Xbox Ally and similar devices).
- PC means the game is available through the Xbox app on Windows.
