Xbox Game Pass Core to replace Live Gold in September

Microsoft is launching a new Xbox Game Pass Core subscription that will replace Xbox Live Gold on September 14.

The new Xbox Game Pass Core will include current features and some new ones, such as Xbox online console multiplayer support, deals and discounts, and a catalog of 25-plus games.

The subscription price of the new plan is the same as the existing one, which is $9.99 per month. Users of the current Xbox Live Gold will be automatically transferred to the new Xbox Game Pass Core subscription.

The plan to replace Live Gold has been in progress for a while, as Microsoft stopped offering year-long subscriptions in 2020.
