00:01Hey everyone, Xbox Game Pass is getting an upgrade.
00:05We've listened to your feedback and now you have even more freedom to choose how you play the games you
00:09want.
00:10Here's a look at what's new and what's changing.
00:14First off, you might have noticed some changes to the planned names.
00:17Xbox Game Pass Core is now Xbox Game Pass Essential.
00:21Xbox Game Pass Standard is now Xbox Game Pass Premium.
00:25And Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is still Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.
00:30We explored other names, but they didn't work out.
00:33Of course, a lot more is changing than just the names.
00:36We've expanded all Xbox Game Pass plans to give you more games and more ways to play and more rewards
00:42than ever.
00:43Let's look at the upgrades to the plans one by one.
00:46First up, Essential, formerly known as Core.
00:49This plan is expanding to give you more ways to play, including PC and cloud gaming.
00:55Previously, Core was primarily for console, but Essential now lets you play games on Xbox console, PC, and cloud.
01:03That means you have the freedom to stream and play on any supported device.
01:07And with cloud gaming, that includes a lot of devices.
01:10We're also expanding the game library so you get access to over 50 games.
01:14And of course, you still get online multiplayer, so you can keep playing with your squad.
01:18Another upgrade is that Essential now includes in-game benefits for some of the biggest games, like League of Legends,
01:24Call of Duty Warzone, and Overwatch 2.
01:27And with Essential, you can earn up to 25,000 rewards points a year just by playing the games you
01:32love.
01:33You can redeem your points for Xbox gift cards to get new games, add-ons, and more.
01:38So if you've got your eye on some DLC, you can spend points to bring home the bundle.
01:42Next up, Premium, formerly known as Standard.
01:46While Standard was built with console players in mind, Premium was built with everyone in mind.
01:51So we're giving you more ways to play with this one too, with games on Xbox console, PC, and cloud.
01:58You heard that right. PC and cloud are coming to Premium.
02:01With Premium, you get access to over 200 games.
02:04And when a new game is published by Xbox, it'll be added to the Premium library within one year of
02:09launch.
02:10Premium also now offers the same in-game benefits for some of the biggest games.
02:14So you can instantly unlock characters, cosmetics, and more.
02:19Looking good.
02:21With Premium, you can play and earn up to 50,000 rewards points a year.
02:26Plus you get access to exclusive quests, and you get twice the points when you buy games and add-ons.
02:32So you'll have even more ways to earn rewards.
02:34Finally, let's take a look at Ultimate.
02:36The best thing about Ultimate is that you can play new games on day one.
02:41That includes games like Call of Duty Black Ops 7, The Outer Worlds 2, and High on Life 2.
02:47But now, the best is getting even better.
02:50Ultimate subscribers will get access to over 75 day one games per year.
02:55We're also adding two new partner subscriptions.
02:58With Ultimate, you'll now have access to Ubisoft Plus Classics in addition to EA Play.
03:02And Fortnite Crew will be added in November.
03:06In total, Ultimate gives you access to over 400 games playable on Xbox Console, PC, and Cloud.
03:14And when you stream games with Cloud Gaming, Ultimate gives you our best quality with the shortest wait times.
03:20To round out the package, you get the same in-game benefits you're used to.
03:24And with Ultimate, you can play and earn up to 100,000 rewards points a year.
03:28That's four times the points you get with Essential.
03:30So now you know what's new with Xbox Game Pass Essential, Premium, and Ultimate.
03:36All three plans are designed to give you more value, more rewards, and more ways to play than ever before.
03:42And however you like to play, Xbox Game Pass has a plan that's right for you.
03:46Because this is how we play now.
