Xbox Game Pass Core library detailed

Here they are.

Microsoft has today detailed the full list of titles available inside the Xbox Game Pass Core library and we’ve got the confirmed catalog of titles for you to peruse right here.

As we’ve detailed, Xbox Game Pass Core replaces Xbox Live Gold and offers online multiplayer access and a library of titles to subscribers.

Microsoft has also stated that the “game library may vary over time and country”.

Update [21 August 2024]: Microsoft has confirmed that three new titles will be added to the library. We’ve detailed them below.

  • Celeste

  • Deep Rock Galactic
  • Descenders

  • Superliminal
  • The Elder Scrolls Online

It’s an interesting mix of first- and third-party titles alongside games old and new. Most notable are the lack of the most recent entries in Microsoft’s own Halo and Forza Horizon franchises; if you want to play Halo Infinite or Forza Horizon 5, you’ll have to pony up for Xbox Game Pass, PC Game Pass or Xbox Game Pass Ultimate instead.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
