Microsoft has announced the full list of games coming day one with Xbox Game Pass Core tomorrow, September 14.
Xbox Game Pass Core, which has replaced Xbox Live Gold, includes 36 games to play on Xbox Series X and S and Xbox One. There’s a mix of games from Microsoft’s first-party developers, Bethesda games, and a smattering of third-party titles.
Here’s the list in full:

Game Pass Core grants access to online console multiplayer, deals, and discounts, as well as the Free Play Days promotion. It costs $10 a month or $60 a year. Microsoft said it plans to update the Game Pass Core library two or three times a year. The full library is available with other Game Pass memberships.
In July, Game Pass got its first price rise since its original launch six years ago. Xbox Game Pass rose by a dollar, from $9.99 to $10.99 monthly (Core now takes the $9.99 price tag). Ultimate rose two dollars to $16.99 a month. PC Game Pass remained $9.99 a month.
The price rise and now this launch of Game Pass Core come after Xbox boss Phil Spencer’s admission Game Pass growth is slowing and has the potential to cannibalize sales. Game Pass has been under the microscope since its inception, with Xbox trumpeting it as a new distribution paradigm and PlayStation boss Jim Ryan claiming publishers don’t like it. Activision Blizzard boss Bobby Kotick isn’t a fan, either, which sets up an interesting debate now Microsoft is set to seal its $69 billion buyout of the Call of Duty maker.
