Microsoft has announced that Xbox Game Pass Standard is now available for subscribers on consoles, and is priced at $14.99 per month. Standard will include all the benefits of Game Pass Core (i.e. online multiplayer access), in addition to Game Pass’ library of hundreds of titles, both first- and third-party.

As previously announced, however, Xbox Game Pass Standard will not include day one releases, so if that’s something you’re looking for as a new subscriber on consoles, you’ll have to go with Game Pass Ultimate, which costs $19.99 per month.

Earlier this year, reports claimed that Microsoft was working on another, cheaper tier for Game Pass that would be cloud-based. Read more on that through here.

As aforementioned leaks claimed, Microsoft is also set to introduce a new tier of the subscription service. Called Xbox Game Pass Standard, it will replace the existing base Xbox Game Pass tier for console users, will be priced at $14.99 per month, and significantly, won’t include any day one releases, which means the only way for Game Pass subscribers to get day and date access to titles will be via subscriptions to the Ultimate or PC tiers.

So what happens if you’re already subscribed to the base console tier? Microsoft says existing Xbox Game Pass members will get to keep their subscriptions without any changes until they run out. Starting July 10, however, new subscribers will not be able to select the base Game Pass tier.

A specific release date for Xbox Game Pass Standard is currently unknown, but Microsoft says the new tier will become available “in the coming months”, which means new Game Pass subscribers on console are going to have no option other than the Core or Ultimate tiers for the time being.

As reported by Windows Central, Microsoft is set to increase Game Pass prices, while also introducing a new tier of the service for newcomers, as leaks previously claimed. Xbox Game Pass Core is seeing is annual subscription price raised from $59.99 to $74.99, though monthly prices will remain unchanged at $9.99.

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate’s price hike will see it going from $16.99 per month to $19.99 per month, while PC Game Pass’ hike will take its monthly subscription price from $9.99 to $11.99. Microsoft says prices are going to increase globally, and will come into effect on July 10 for new members. Meanwhile, for existing subscribers with recurring charges, the new prices will go into effect on September 12.

Meanwhile, the base Xbox Game Pass tier is going to be replaced with Xbox Game Pass Standard, which will have $14.99 per month subscriptions starting this September and won’t include day one releases. Read more on that through here.
