This means that the Xbox Live service that most people use for online gaming is now over. Game Pass Core offers core Xbox Live Gold features, such as access to online multiplayer, but includes some changes to the games offered.
Xbox Live Gold previously included the Games with Gold feature, which allowed subscribers to download and save a select few games each month.
Now subscribers will have access to a stripped-down version of the game catalog available through Xbox Game Pass. Game Pass Core will offer at least 25 rotating games to try.
Game Pass Core costs $10 per month or $60 per year; this is the same retail price as the old Xbox Live Gold subscription.
If you already have an active Xbox Live Gold subscription, it will automatically be upgraded to Game Pass Core.
This innovation represents an interesting step taken by Microsoft to make its gaming services more attractive and accessible.
