The difference is this new tier won't include day one games. These games may be added eventually, but there is no promise of this and no day one.

Replacing the now retired Game Pass for Console tier, the Standard plan is available for $14.99 / £10.99 per month. The Standard tier was first announced in July and was previously available in preview form for Xbox Insiders.

Save big on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and stack up to 5 codes for a total of 15 months of access. Whether you’re new or already subscribed, you can enjoy this deal and unlock hundreds of games across your Xbox and PC.

Woot! (which is owned by Amazon) is offering the best deal on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. Right now you can get a 3 month code for only $36.49. Earlier this year, Microsoft raised the price of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate to $19.

Subscribers can play these games and others now. Xbox Game Pass Ultimate -- a CNET Editors' Choice award pick -- offers hundreds of games you can play on your Xbox Series X, Series S, Xbox One and PC or mobile device for $20 a month.
