Xbox announces that an intriguing third-person shooter will be added to the ever-expanded archive of Game Pass Day One releases.

Remember Xbox Live Gold? Now it's called Xbox Game Pass Core, and you can get a 12-month membership for $49.99 instead of $59. If you're new to gaming or shopping for a gamer, here's what that means.

Earlier today, after some teasing, Xbox confirmed that 2018's Spyro Reignited Trilogy would be available to play via Xbox Game Pass starting tomorrow. It follows the addition of fellow former PlayStation platform mascot Crash Bandicoot, who arrived on the service earlier this year.

In October, Microsoft added Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 to Game Pass the same day it was released, and that entry in the series had the biggest opening weekend of any Call of Duty game. Now, Microsoft is set to bring a new Metal Slug game and the goofy Goat Simulator game to Game Pass soon.

Xbox Game Pass' November 2024 line-up is looking a little bare, and one recent piece of marketing might have begun a worrying trend for the service.

We’re selling 12-month Xbox Game Pass Core memberships for only $49.99 (reg. $59.99) while codes last—that’s just $5 per month to play online multiplayer and get access to dozens of games. We only have 50 codes available at this price, so buy yours ASAP if you’re interested—they won’t last long.

Spyro Reignited Trilogy will be playable across Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Xbox Game Pass Standard, and PC Game Pass. It's also included in Xbox Cloud Gaming for any Ultimate subscribers.

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate gives gamers access to hundreds of games, exclusive deals, and more. Three-month stackable memberships are on sale for £28.35.
