Microsoft has confirmed that subscribers who pay for its Core and Standard tiers of its Game Pass subscription service may not be able to play titles from its first-party studios “up to 12 months or more” after release.
Clarifying the substantive changes it made to its Xbox Game Pass service last month, Microsoft confirmed in a recent Xbox Wire post that only the $12/m PC tier and the $20/m Ultimate tier will benefit from EA Play membership and access to Xbox’s “day one titles.”
Instead, subscribers to Core ($10/m) and the upcoming Standard ($15/m) tier will get a curated catalogue of 25 “high-quality games on console” and “hundreds of high-quality games on console”, respectively.
