Xbox Live Gold Is Being Replaced With Xbox Game Pass Core
After twenty years, Xbox’s online services are being changed, as Xbox Live Gold will be replaced with Xbox Game Pass Core in September. Those who are already members won’t need to alter their current subscriptions, but there will be changes to the games that are added to the service in the future.

PlayStation has overwhelmingly won this battle for years, as Xbox Live Gold’s titles are usually titles no one has ever heard of. This is because Microsoft puts all of its attention into Xbox Game Pass, which offers lots of amazing games to subscribers, some of them on launch day.

Instead, subscribers will now receive access to a limited selection of Xbox Game Pass titles, with more titles planned for the future. The launch line-up on Xbox Game Pass Core is as follows:
