So far, it is known that the following projects are waiting for players at the start: Among Us, Descenders, Dishonored 2, Doom Eternal, Fable Anniversary, Fallout 4, Fallout 76, Forza Horizon 4, Gears 5, Grounded, Halo 5: Guardians, Halo Wars 2, Hellblade : Senua’s Sacrifice, Human Fall Flat, Inside, Ori & The Will of the Wisps, Psychonauts 2, State of Decay 2, The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited.
Users with active Xbox Live Gold will be automatically upgraded to Game Pass Core. The cost of the new subscription compared to Live Gold will not change and will be $9.99 per month or $59.99 per year.
