Xbox has revealed the list of 36 games that will be available as part of the Xbox Game Pass Core subscription tier.
For those who need a refresher, Xbox Game Pass Core is the replacement for Xbox Live Gold, which will be going live tomorrow. As well as having access to play games online, like Live Gold, the Core subscription will give players access to a curated selection of games to download and play. As detailed on Xbox Wire, there will be 36 games available to those on the Core tier at launch, including:
- Among Us
- Astroneer
- Celeste
- Dead Cells
- Descenders
- Dishonored 2
- DOOM Eternal Standard Edition
- Fable Anniversary
- Fallout 4
- Fallout 76
- Firewatch
- Forza Horizon 4 Standard Edition
- Gang Beasts

For a pared-down version of the full-fat Game Pass, this is a pretty solid little list. The Xbox Wire post also states that the Core games will be updated “2-3 times a year” to keep things fresh, so it’s a fairly enticing offer. This tier will set you back $10.90 AUD a month, or $79.95 AUD if you prefer to pay yearly.
