Being a successor to Xbox Live Gold, Xbox Game Pass Core ditches the old Games for Gold model in favor of a game library with more than 30 titles. If you're considering diving into the world of Game Pass, I've compiled a playlist of all the Xbox Game Pass Core games!
Xbox Game Pass Core – Complete Game Library
The following list contains all the games offered to Xbox Game Pass Core users, spanning all the way from the Xbox 360 games to the Series X|S generation. Microsoft tends to update the list with new games every few months, so the list you see below is far from final. Since free multiplayer games are available regardless of your Game Pass plan, they are not included in this list.

Xbox Game Pass Core, Console, PC & Ultimate – Key Differences
Because of their similar names, it's easy to get confused when trying to choose the best Game Pass subscription options. There are four tiers of Game Pass subscriptions, each with its own set of features and supported platforms, and now we'll go over their key differences.
Xbox Game Pass Core
This is the cheapest and most basic subscription plan, enabling online play, member discounts in the Xbox store and access to a library of more than 30 games. If you like free to play multiplayer games with some extra gameplay options, this is the plan for you.
Xbox Game Pass Console
Pretty much the same deal as Game Pass Core, but without online multiplayer capabilities and slightly more expensive. Single player players will find themselves right at home with this option.
PC Game Pass
If you already have a solid gaming PC, you can opt for this plan, which brings all the Core benefits to your desktop. The cherry on top is the EA Play membershipwhich offers access to a select library of EA games and the Cloud Gaming feature with GeForce Now Ultimate.
Game Pass Ultimate
All of the aforementioned Game Pass subscriptions roll into Game Pass Ultimate, and then some. This plan gives you access to hundreds of games on PC and Xboxwith both Xbox Cloud Gaming and GeForce Now Ultimate. It's the most expensive subscription option, but with features to match.
