Xbox Game Pass Core Adds More Games For The First Time Soon

For the first time since Xbox Game Pass Core launched in September, Microsoft is adding more games to its catalog. For anyone just catching up, Game Pass Core is the new name for Xbox Live Gold, which was phased out earlier this year. Game Pass Core, which costs $10/month, has a collection of 35+ games, but not the entire Game Pass catalog.

Microsoft has said it will update the Core catalog about two or three times per year, and now it's happening. The first additions to the library are the multiplayer first-person slasher Chivalry 2 and the comical delivery game Totally Reliable Deliver Service, both of which launch on December 6.

As for the main Game Pass catalog, it's adding 12 games in the first half of December, including Far Cry 6, Goat Simulator 3, and Remnant II. For more, check out GameSpot's full coverage of all the games coming to Game Pass in the first half of December.

In addition to the games offered through this service, Core subscribers also gain access to online console multiplayer, deals, discounts of up to 50% off select games, and access to Free Play Days for select games.
