Everything you need to know about Xbox Game Pass
Microsoft offers a variety of subscription services for Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S owners.
Xbox Live Gold is a monthly subscription service that is required for online play. While it does include a couple of free games per month, that is not its primary purpose.
In comparison, Xbox Game Pass is the company's subscription service that provides access to hundreds of games for a single monthly fee.
They can be purchased separately, but the best part is that you can purchase both along with Xbox Game Pass for PC, EA Play, Cloud Gaming, and access to exclusive game discounts for a single, discounted price.
This page contains all of the information you need to know about Xbox Game Pass and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.
What is Xbox Game Pass and Game Pass Ultimate?
For one monthly fee, Xbox Games Pass gives you access to well over 300 games for download and play on your Xbox One or Xbox Series X/S.
For the same price as Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, you'll also receive Xbox Live Gold, Xbox Game Pass for PC, EA Play, and access to Xbox Cloud Gaming (formerly known as Project xCloud).
You may download and play the games as frequently as you wish as long as you continue to pay the monthly fee. While some titles may become unavailable as new ones are added, you can also purchase the collection outright at discounted prices.
Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Xbox 360, and original Xbox games are all included in the lineup, the latter two via backward compatibility, ensuring a diverse selection of top titles.
Microsoft adds its own and a large number of third-party titles the same day they are released in stores. This includes Halo Infinite and Bethesda's upcoming sci-fi role-playing game, Starfield.
Additionally, Xbox Live Gold provides subscribers with exclusive discounts on a variety of games available on the Xbox Store.

Games Pass's standard console-exclusive edition does not include Gold, EA Play, Cloud Gaming, or the PC version. Monthly fees are $9.99/£7.99. When purchased separately, the PC-only version is the same price. Ultimate is unquestionably the better value.
