Xbox Game Pass for PC (Beta)

You can upgrade to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate to enjoy all the benefits of Xbox Live Gold and Xbox Game Pass on both your Xbox One console and your Windows 10 PC.
If you have any prepaid time on Xbox Live Gold and/or Xbox Game Pass when you join Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, we will apply it toward Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, up to a maximum of 36 months. Visit xbox.com/gamepass for more information.

You can play on a Windows 10 PC. Please check the individual game detail pages to confirm if your machine specifications and operating system version meet the minimum requirements set forth by the developer. Certain games may require the latest Windows update.

No, you do not need Xbox Live Gold. There is no additional charge to play online multiplayer on PC. You will need a wired or wireless Internet connection to play online.

Xbox Game Pass members enjoy unlimited access to high-quality games within the PC library, until either the membership is cancelled/expires, or a game leaves the Xbox Game Pass library.

Love a game currently in the library and want to own it? You can buy it and save up to 20%, plus get up to 10% off related game DLC and add-ons. Discounts are based on the Microsoft Store price and are tiered based on the game’s global launch date. Between 31 and 90 days from a game’s launch date, members receive up to a 10% discount off the Microsoft Store price. After 90 days from a game’s launch date, members receive up to a 20% discount. For game DLC and add-ons, Xbox Game Pass members receive up to a 10% discount from the day the add-on is released. Xbox Game Pass discounts are not combinable with other offers and are not redeemable for cash; discount offers exclude games within 30 days of launch and are not available with selected games; discounts based on Microsoft Store price.

The time to download a game depends on each game’s installation size, as well as your bandwidth connection.

Once a game leaves the Xbox Game Pass library, you will need to purchase a digital copy from the Xbox app or the Microsoft Store, insert a disc, or obtain another form of entitlement to continue playing the game. Remember, Xbox will notify members prior to a game leaving the Xbox Game Pass library. And, as a member, you can purchase any game in the library for up to 20% off (or the best available discounted price) to continue playing a game once it leaves the library.

If you purchase DLC and add-ons for a game that later leaves the library, your DLC and add-ons will not be removed. However, to continue playing the DLC and add-ons, you will need to purchase a digital copy of the game from the Xbox app or the Microsoft Store, insert a disc, or obtain another form of entitlement to continue playing the game.

Games will not be deleted from your hard drive until you delete them, even if they have been removed from the Xbox Game Pass library. However, once a game leaves the Xbox Game Pass library, you will need to purchase a digital copy from the Xbox app or the Microsoft Store, insert a disc, or obtain another form of entitlement to continue playing the game.

If a game was installed from the Xbox Game Pass library but will no longer play, make sure your Xbox Game Pass membership is active and the game is still in the current library. Please also check the individual game detail page to confirm if your machine specifications and operating system version meet the minimum requirements set forth by the developer. Certain games may require the latest Windows update.

Games may exit the library after a period.

While playing offline, some features, such as the ability to purchase additional items, will not be available.

While the Xbox (Beta) app does not have a built-in mechanism to create, publish, manage, and acquire user-created content, the games in Xbox Game Pass for PC (Beta) do support multiple varieties of mods – provided the game developer has chosen to enable them for their games. Users can access and modify the contents of the game folders manually or use most third party mod managers to modify their game. Note that certain cases might not work at this time (for example, where the game has a built-in manager). We are continually looking for feedback from the community and hope to improve the experience for our customers in the near future.
