Xbox Live Gold will still be available, and it doesn’t look like the Xbox Game Pass includes Gold. To be clear, this isn’t a streaming service - you download the games on your Xbox hard drive and launch them locally. Just like Spotify, Microsoft could be looking at the games you actually download and play so that Microsoft can just pay those companies. It’s unclear how Microsoft plans to pay the publishers of these games.
Some games will be available in the subscription for a limited time and eventually replaced with other games. But you can expect to get Halo 5, Payday 2, NBA 2K16 and SoulCalibur II as part of this subscription (so moderately new and very old games). Some big names, such as Electronic Arts, Ubisoft and Activision Blizzard are clearly missing from the list. These games will come from Microsoft (obviously), as well as 2K, 505 Games, Bandai Namco, Capcom, Codemasters, Deep Silver, Focus Home Interactive, SEGA, SNK CORPORATION, THQ Nordic GmbH, Warner Bros. Those games will be Xbox One or Xbox 360 games that work on the Xbox One thanks to backward compatibility. The feature isn’t live yet, but the company already announced some names so that the company can start beta testing Xbox Game Pass. It’s a library of more than 100 games that you can download and play for a monthly subscription of $9.99. The company is launching a new service called the Xbox Game Pass. Having free games with Xbox Live Gold was one thing, but Microsoft wants to go one step further.
