Xbox Game Pass Core launch games revealed

Xbox Live Gold as we know it is coming to an end, at least by name.

As of 14 September this year, Xbox Live Gold will be no more, and it will be known as Xbox Game Pass Core. For the most part, everything will be as it were. We’ll get online multiplayer with the rebranded basic tier as well as some discounts.

Let’s talk Xbox Live Gold! Specifically, how it’s changing on September 14:

However, the manner in which the free games are being delivered will change. Rather than have two or three new games each month, subscribers to Xbox Game Pass Core (formerly Xbox Live Gold) will have a selection of 25 games from a catalogue.

While Microsoft hasn’t confirmed all 25 games just yet, we do know what at least 19 of them will be. It’s worth keeping in mind that if you already subscribe to XBLG, you do not have to change a thing. Your subscription and payment will automatically carry over in September.

Below are the 19 confirmed games so far with the remaining six being announced at a later date.

• Among Us

• DOOM Eternal
• Fable Anniversary

• Fallout 76
