Chris Lee, VP Xbox Marketing

Starting today, we are launching a new plan for Xbox Game Pass – Game Pass Standard. This plan brings together features that players love about Game Pass for Console and Game Pass Core, while providing an additional option when you are deciding which plan is right for you. If you’re still wondering which Game Pass plan might fit your needs, we have the guide for you.
