The new Xbox Game Pass tier, Game Pass Standard, is officially available now for everyone, following an initial debut in August only for testers. The Standard membership includes “hundreds” of games for $15/month with some key differences between Game Pass Core and Game Pass Ultimate, including how Microsoft’s new releases won’t come to Game Pass Standard for some time.
Game Pass Standard is Microsoft’s attempt to “give players more choice” when it comes to a subscription offering, the company said.

Game Pass Standard has a library of 369 titles, compared to 506 for Game Pass Ultimate, according to PureXbox. For more, check out a list of all the titles not included in Game Pass Standard, including Starfield, Diablo IV, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III, and more.
Game Pass Standard does not, however, include what is perhaps the best part of Game Pass Ultimate–day-one new releases from Microsoft. For people who want to play Black Ops 6 at launch via Game Pass, Microsoft advised them to consider Game Pass Ultimate.
Microsoft’s games that come to Game Pass Ultimate at launch will not come to Game Pass Standard right away–this could be “up to 12 months or more and will vary by title,” Microsoft said.
