Microsoft to introduce ‘Game Pass Core’, will replace Xbox Live Gold subscription | Digit

PC and Xbox gamers, here’s some very big news: Microsoft announced a new subscription which is going to replace the current subscription, Xbox Live Gold. Microsoft is calling this new subscription ‘Game Pass Core’. Game Pass Core has so much to offer and it comes at the same price of Xbox Live Gold. Xbox Live Gold offers two games every month to the Xbox users but the Game Pass Core is promising 25 games in every three-four months. It will change games twice or thrice every year which means a total of 75 games a year.

Microsoft will remove the games that have been bought from Xbox Live Gold on September 1 and the existing Gold subscribers will be automatically switched to Game Pass Core. 

Furthermore, if you don’t have the Game Pass Core, only Xbox 360 games will be available for you. Although, if you have an active subscription you will be able to play new games which are going to be offered in Game Pass Core and the old ones as well.
