In a recent statement, Xbox has announced that it will introduce Xbox Game Pass Core starting September 14. This new service will be an evolution of Xbox Live Gold and will provide access to the multiplayer network, a catalog of 25+ games, and exclusive offers for members for $9.99 per month.
For over two decades, Xbox Live has allowed gamers around the world to connect and experience online multiplayer. In 2017, Xbox introduced Game Pass, which offers access to a specific library of games. Now, Game Pass Core combines online play and Game Pass in a new offering for gamers around the world.

Member discounts and offers will also be part of Game Pass Core. While Games with Gold will be discontinued on September 1, players will still have access to all previous Xbox One games they’ve used through this mechanism as long as they remain a Game Pass Core or Game Pass Ultimate member.
Additionally, all Xbox 360 games used through Games with Gold in the past will remain in the player’s library regardless of subscription status.*This content was created using artificial intelligence based on information from Xbox Wire and reviewed by a journalist.
