In terms of functionality, the four tiers of Xbox Game Pass are pretty straightforward.

Xbox Game Pass has access to EA Play and Bethesda games. The Ultimate tier also has EA Play membership, which allows access to EA’s online game subscription service and its games on Game Pass for Xbox and PC. Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is the best bargain, as at $14.99 or £10.99 a month it gives you access to Xbox and PC games, as well as cloud streaming and save syncing between all three platforms.

One thing to note is the Xbox Game Pass app on PC isn't the best and can run into a few problems, but Microsoft is working on improving it. Xbox Game Pass for PC costs $9.99 or £7.99 a month and gives you access to more than 100 PC games. This tier gives you access to over 100 Xbox games and the ability to play new Xbox titles at launch. The original version of Game Pass now costs $10.99 per month. This tier costs $9.99 or £7.99 a month and is available on Xbox One and Xbox Series X and Series S, and gives you access to over 25 first and third-party games.

The first is the new Xbox Game Pass Core tier, which replaces Xbox Live Gold. Xbox Game Pass comes in three variations.
