Microsoft is launching its Xbox Game Pass Standard tier today. After briefly testing it with Xbox Insiders last month, the new $14.99 per month Game Pass Standard subscription is launching with the usual Game Pass library for Xbox and online console multiplayer access, too. This new tier doesn’t include immediate access to day-one game releases, though.
Microsoft first revealed this new Xbox Game Pass Standard tier in July, alongside price increases for Ultimate and PC Game Pass subscribers. Existing subscribers of Xbox Game Pass for Console will continue to be able to access day-one games, but new Game Pass subscribers will now only be able to pick between Core, Standard, PC, and Ultimate subscriptions.
