Xbox Game Pass Core: Full List Of Games (August 2024 Update)

That is one insanely mediocre list.
There are some heavy hitters, for sure, but those I just bought at pretty low prices during the Spring Sale...

This is a really good selection considering $60/year for basically a decade prior to Core got you temporary ownership of maybe 1 game per year.

Since Gamepass Family plans never materialized, I do this for my son. We play Grounded, Deep Rock, and Astroneer, and Among Us. From a single player perspective, there are lots of great choices here, though some might complain that they are older games (i.e. 3-8 year old titles).

I'm surprised there aren't more first-party offerings here, namely Sea of Thieves or Rare Replay.

I beat Ori and the Will of the Wisps, thanks to Game Pass Core availability. I also took a second look at Fallout 76, so the service has done me a few favors.

>we've had a few updates since then, with Microsoft adding a few titles to the service every six months or so.

"Every six months"? That's just bad math.

Anyway, really strong catalog that is lightyears better than Games with Gold's last 3 years combined. Plenty of awesome online games there.

@TheLastHarbinger This was more me predicting Xbox's cadence with these updates. Yes, the first update dropped a few months after the GP Core launch, but I was looking more at early December to late April for a rough gap between updates. Not too far off 6 months! 😄
