The Xbox Game Pass remains unchanged for the most. Players still get the huge library of 100+ games to play with new games added every month. The one thing that has changed is that Xbox Game Pass subscribers will no longer be able to play online as that feature has been moved to the Game Pass Core plan.

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, on the other hand, is the best of both worlds. This plan includes a directory of 100+ games, including Starfield, along with online play. Fusing the Game Pass Core with the games library of the traditional Game Pass plan.

This change is a small one, but is a huge step by Microsoft. How much it will affect the player base is something only time will tell.
