This wave of games will be the last ones added before the price goes up. This is the first announcement of new games since Xbox confirmed it’s increasing the monthly price of an Xbox Game Pass subscription. While this cluster of games only contains one new launch, it also has a few major recent releases. Xbox announced this week the next wave of games coming to Game Pass in June, with this wave splashing over into the first week of July. At the event, we will also announce 25 top game startups as the 2024 Game Changers. Replacing the current Xbox Live Gold pricing, Xbox Game Pass Core will cost $10.95 AUD per month or $79.95 for a prepaid yearly subscription.We're thrilled to announce the return of GamesBeat Next, hosted in San Francisco this October, where we will explore the theme of 'Playing the Edge.'

Xbox Game Pass core combines the online multiplayer benefits of Xbox Live Gold with some components of the Xbox Game Pass and Game Pass Ultimate tiers, including Game Pass member deals and discounts and a smaller, less regularly updated library of games for members to download and play for as long as they have an active subscription. Meanwhile, Games With Gold will cease to be offered starting on September 1. Starting on September 14 (potentially September 15 in AEST), Gold subscribers will find themselves moved across to the new subscription – which will cost exactly the same as Gold does now – and benefit from an entry-level version of the Xbox Game Pass library. Xbox has announced plans to phase out its Xbox Live Gold subscription offering in favour of a brand-new tier of Xbox Game Pass dubbed Xbox Game Pass Core.
