![]() If you’re absolutely certain that you’ll never, ever use the Game Pass library or Xbox Cloud Gaming, and just want access to online multiplayer, then you may as well forget Xbox Game Pass entirely and subscribe to Xbox Game Pass Core. For only $7 extra a month (Xbox Game Pass Core costs $9.99 monthly) you get access to the entire Game Pass library and all the other Ultimate benefits. Not only does Ultimate include online, but it’s priced very competitively against it. Microsoft has set up Xbox Game Pass Ultimate as a replacement for a standalone Xbox Game Pass Core subscription. If you regularly play multiplayer titles, or reckon you will after you pick up an Xbox Series X|S, Xbox Game Pass Core is a necessity. Microsoft’s older subscription service was recently rebranded and is needed to access the online portions of Xbox games. Xbox Game Pass Ultimate comes bundled with Xbox Game Pass Core, which was previously known as Xbox Live Gold. Microsoft has been teasing an Xbox streaming stick for a while now, and although the project is currently mothballed, will hopefully get picked up again in the near future. One day, you might not even need an Xbox console to use Xbox Cloud Gaming. Unfortunately, that kicks many strategy and other PC games off the service. You also won’t be able to stream any game that requires a keyboard and mouse control scheme, as Xbox Cloud Gaming is currently only compatible with controllers. Microsoft recommends “rates of 10 Mbps on mobile devices, 20 Mbps on consoles, PCs and tablets, and 5Ghz WiFi or mobile data connection”. Remember, you’ll need a strong, reliable internet connection to use the streaming service. Check out the full library on the Xbox Cloud Gaming webpage. Not every game can be streamed, so don’t bank on your favorite series appearing in the cloud. ![]() It lets you play games on your Xbox console, PC, or even phone and tablet directly through the cloud, no download required.Ī big chunk of the current Xbox Game Pass library is available on Xbox Cloud Gaming, including several major releases like Gears 5, Mass Effect Legendary Edition, No Man’s Sky and Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. Included in every Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription is access to Xbox Cloud Gaming, Microsoft’s in-development game streaming service. You’ll still need a PC rig capable of playing most of them, mind, but if you’ve already got the hardware, a venerable bounty of PC delights awaits. You get access to all the games on Xbox Game Pass alongside a bumper library of PC games and titles from EA, including heavy hitters like Total War: Warhammer 3 and Age of Empires 4. Xbox Game Pass Ultimate takes all of that and combines it with PC Game Pass (the platform’s PC equivalent service) and an EA Play membership. The Dead Space sequels arrived in March and Minecraft Legends, Ghostwire: Tokyo and others followed in April. ![]() As a console-only subscription, Xbox Game Pass includes hundreds of games to play on Xbox Series X|S or Xbox One, including big triple-A releases like Halo Infinite, Forza Horizon 5, and Yakuza: Like a Dragon, as well as indie gems such as Hollow Knight, Vampire Survivors, Pentiment and many more. The gaming libraries included in Xbox Game Pass and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate are similar but not exactly the same.
