Xbox Game Pass Updates: Standard Testing, New Titles for August

Starting today, Xbox Insiders are invited to try and give feedback on Game Pass Standard, Xbox’s newest Game Pass membership option. Game Pass Core members with less than 2-months stacked onto their account, Game Pass for Console and PC Game Pass players can participate in the preview period and share their feedback.

Hundreds of great games will be available with Game Pass Standard at launch. Players will gain access to select titles as part of the new Game Pass Standard library, with more titles added throughout the preview period. Once players join the preview, they can look up the Game Pass Standard library to find their next favorite game.

Xbox Game Pass Standard is based on player feedback and brings together features that players love about Game Pass Core and Game Pass for Console, like a library of hundreds of high-quality games, online console multiplayer and select member deals and discounts, including up to 50% off select games.

Players can sign up to join the Xbox Insider Program by downloading the Xbox Insider Hub app. Once registered, players can join the preview of Xbox Game Pass Standard for AUD$1 / NZD$1 for the first 14 days. For more information on Game Pass Standard see our Xbox Insiders Blog here.
