How much is the Xbox Game Pass Core price?

The Xbox Game Pass Core price has recently been announced, following the announcement that the Live Gold subscription plan for the green console will be discontinued in favor of this new offering.

Microsoft, the tech giant behind the console, has announced that Xbox Live Gold will be replaced by Xbox Game Pass Core starting on September 14. Game Pass Core will cost $9.99 per month or $59.99 per year, and it will include access to the Xbox Live multiplayer network, a select “catalog of over 25 high-quality games,” and exclusive member deals.

The launch collection of games for Xbox Game Pass Core includes 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 & The Will of the Wisps, Psychonauts 2, State of Decay 2, The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited, and more to come. 

Current Xbox Live Gold members will automatically become Game Pass Core members on September 14, with no change in pricing. They will also have immediate access to the new library of games.

Speaking of which, Games with Gold will come to an end on September 1. However, players will still be able to access any Xbox One games they previously redeemed through Games with Gold if they remain a Game Pass Core or Game Pass Ultimate member.
