If you’re thinking about subscribing to Game Pass Standard, you won’t be able to play Starfield, Hellblade 2, Diablo IV, and many other games
Microsoft has launched its new ‘Standard’ tier of Game Pass, and already there are over 100 games missing from its previous iteration, including the most high-profile titles on the service.
Today, Microsoft has officially started offering a brand new tier of Xbox Game Pass that’s meant to be the in-between before the “Core” and “Ultimate” versions of the service. Called “Standard”, this new tier comes as a replacement for the old “Xbox Game Pass Console”, but at the same time, it takes away the Day-One releases that were one of the main attractions of the subscription.
Additionally, it appears as though any game that’s been added to the service as a “Day-One” title is not available to play on the new tier, which means that moving forward, the “Ultimate” tier may become the only way to get these new kinds of games through the subscription. At the time of release, the “Standard” tier still provides access to 369 games in its library, which when compared with Ultimate with 506 titles is quite the slimmer offering. Most important of all, games like Starfield, Hellblade 2, Diablo 4, Age of Mythology: Retold, and many more that were paramount in the marketing of the service are not available on the new mid-range tier.
Every title included in the Game Pass Standard tier
Below is a list of all 369 games included in the new Xbox Game Pass Standard tier at the time of its launch. Or, if you’d rather look at everything that is missing, users on Reddit have already compared the different tiers and marked exactly what games are not available in the new tier.
