Xbox Game Pass is a video game subscription service from Microsoft for use with its Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One consoles, as well as Android, iOS, and iPadOS devices via Xbox Cloud Gaming. The service was first launched on June 1, 2017, while Xbox Live Gold subscribers received priority access on May 24 earlier that year. The service grants players access to a rotating catalog of games from a range of publishers and other premium services, including Xbox Live Gold and EA Play, for a single monthly subscription price. Subscribers of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate have access to Xbox Cloud Gaming at no additional cost.
On September 14, 2023, Xbox Live Gold was discontinued and replaced with Xbox Game Pass Core, which has the same multiplayer capabilities and exclusive member deals, among other features.[1][2]
