Xbox Game Pass Standard launches without Starfield, Hellblade 2, and more

Earlier this year, Microsoft announced big changes to Xbox Game Pass, with a new tier called Xbox Game Pass Standard replacing Game Pass for Console for new subscribers. Xbox Game Pass Standard is available now, and there’s quite a substantial difference in what the new tier offers in terms of features and the library of games compared to the previous.Xbox Game Pass Standard launches with a library of 370 games and online multiplayerXbox Game Pass Standard is priced at $14.99/£10.99 and gives subscribers access to a library of 370 games and online multiplayer. However, with this tier, day one releases are not included, so you won’t see games like Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle drop into Standard upon release. Microsoft has confirmed that it can take up to a year or more before day one releases join Xbox Game Pass Standard. As for what games are currently included with Xbox Game Pass Standard, it appears that some major releases are missing. Compared to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, which boasts 506 console games in its library (including EA Play titles), Xbox Game Pass Standard features 370 games and does not include big games such as Starfield, Hellblade 2, Forza Motorsport, Diablo IV, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III.
