FAQs

How do you get Xbox Game Pass games forever? ›

If you get a game or DLC for free with Xbox Game Pass, you can play the game as long as you have the subscription and as long as the game does not leave the Xbox Game Pass library. If one of the circ*mstances occurs, you will need to buy the game to continue playing it.

There are more than 100 games included with an Xbox Game Pass Console, PC, or Ultimate membership.

When your subscription ends then you will no longer have access to the games you downloaded from GP. It doesn't matter whether you downloaded already or not. When it checks to see if you have a valid digital license it'll fail. You can read about how cancellation/removal works on the official FAQ.

Games you install using Xbox Game Pass remain playable once they've left the Game Pass catalog only when you buy them—and you get a hefty discount when you buy games as an Xbox Game Pass subscriber. When you buy games at a discount, those games are yours to keep.

Hey, cracking Xbox Game Pass games is illegal and against the terms of service. You can get banned if you try it. Just stick to enjoying the games legitimately through the subscription. Take it from someone who's been there—trying to crack Xbox Game Pass games isn't worth it.

Once a game leaves the Xbox Game Pass catalog, you'll need to purchase a digital copy from the Xbox app for Windows or the Microsoft Store, play from 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 catalog.

Games are available to play, in full, only if you continue to pay for the service. If you want to continue playing a game, you'll need to buy it separately!

When this happens, you lose access to the subscription and its benefits. For example, if a renewal charge fails for your Xbox Game Pass Core subscription, you are locked out, and online multiplayer only works in free-to-play games.

Starting September 14, 2023, Xbox Live Gold transitioned to Xbox Game Pass Core. Players will still have access to online console multiplayer, plus they got access to a new collection of over 25 great games to play on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One consoles.

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate includes all benefits of Xbox Game Pass Core, which gives you access to multiplayer games on your console. (Free-to-play games include online multiplayer without an Xbox Game Pass Core subscription.)

Can I play Game Pass games offline? ›

Xbox: If you've purchased a game from the Xbox or Microsoft Store, or you subscribe to Game Pass, you can play games offline on one of your logged in devices.

Whether you buy a game on disc or download it from the Microsoft Store or Xbox Game Pass, you need to install it on your console's hard drive before you can play it. Things to keep in mind: Xbox installs one game or app at a time. Additional installations will continue in sequence when the first one's done.

Game Pass Console includes access to more than 100 Xbox games to play but does not include online multiplayer on the console. PC Game Pass gives access to a catalog of Windows PC titles, and Ultimate covers both platforms and console multiplayer.

Game Pass members enjoy access to high-quality games in the PC or console catalog until either the membership is canceled/expires, or a game leaves the Game Pass catalog. Game titles, number, features, and availability vary over time and by region, platform, console, and Game Pass plan.

Usually non first party games will be on GamePass for 1 year, but it can vary depending on what the publisher wants. Sometimes they put the first iteration of a game on GamePass until just before then sequel launches to drive sales.

Ultimate. Get your first 14 days for $1, then $16.99/mo. Subscription continues automatically.

You Can't Turn Off Auto-Renewal From the Console
