Priced at $9.99 per month, the Xbox PC Game Pass provides access to hundreds of PC games, day-one releases, and member discounts. It also includes a free EA Play membership, granting access to select EA titles, in-game rewards, and trials. Note that online multiplayer and cross-platform play may not be available for all games in this tier.
The standard Xbox Console Game Pass costs $10.99 per month, offering hundreds of console games, day-one access to new releases, and member discounts. Online multiplayer and cross-platform play are not included for all games, and EA Play is not part of this subscription.
Exclusively for console players, the Core Game Pass ($9.99/month) includes online multiplayer—a feature absent from the standard console pass. However, it offers a curated selection of 25 console games instead of the full catalog. EA Play is not included.
The premium tier, costing $16.99 per month, offers the complete Game Pass experience for both PC and console. It encompasses all benefits from lower tiers (including online multiplayer and EA Play) plus cloud saves and exclusive member perks.
