Welcome to XboxIssues
Welcome. I decided to make this blog after being a Xbox Ambassador for a number of years.
If you don't know an Ambassador is a Volunteer that Microsoft uses to help ease the load on the actual hard working support people.
I noticed that alot of the questions I would get could easily be solved by using Microsofts Xbox.com site.
Since some of the help articles may be hard to find, understand or the issue may be called something different in the gaming community making it more difficult to solve, I've decided to make this blog to make it easier for fellow gamers to get xbox assistance, news and all things Xbox.

NEWS: What To Expect on Day One with Xbox Game Pass Core
We’re almost there – September 14th 2023, Microsoft is excited to bring to life all the updates for Xbox Game Pass Core! As they shared last month, this is our latest evolution of what was previously known as Xbox Live Gold. Same great online experience, new name, and an added library of games!
When they announced Xbox Game Pass Core, they shared that this membership would come with more than 25 high quality games from the Xbox Game Pass library – Microsoft is thrilled to share that there will be 36 games available to play on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One starting September 14th 2023!

Traverse the backyard in Grounded or explore Tamriel in The Elder Scrolls Online. Play the absolute mind trip that is Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice (get some headphones for this one!). These are only a few of the Xbox Game Studios games for you to dig into tomorrow.

NEWS: Xbox Games With Gold is No More, Introducing Game Pass Core
Today, Microsoft is continuing their commitment to give players more choice and value by introducing Xbox Game Pass Core, launching on September 14. Game Pass Core is the evolution of Xbox live Gold. Game Pass Core will give players access to the advanced multiplayer network, a select collection of over 25 games to play with friends around the world, and exclusive member deals, all for $9.99 per month or $59.99 per year.
For over twenty years, Xbox players have been connecting via xbox live to compete, cooperate, and experience the world’s biggest online multiplayer games. In 2017, Microsoft introduced Xbox Game Pass which provided a curated library of games. Game Pass Core brings online play together with Game Pass in a new offering for gamers around the world.
With this evolution, Microsoft is saying farewell to Games with Gold. They wanted to use this opportunity to re-imagine how to include content with this subscription. They found that the answer to the most compelling catalog was to leverage select titles from the Xbox Game Pass catalog.
The launch collection of more than 25 titles from Xbox Game Studios, Bethesda, and content partners will offer something for everyone to play on their Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One consoles. Today Microsoft is confirming the following titles for launch*, with more to be announced in advance of September 14. New titles will be added 2-3 times a year.
- Among Us
- Descenders
- Dishonored 2
- Doom Eternal
- Fable Anniversary
- Fallout 4
- Fallout 76
- Forza Horizon 4
- Gears 5
- Grounded
- Halo 5: Guardians
- Halo Wars 2
- Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice
- Human Fall Flat
- Inside
- Ori & The Will of the Wisps
- Psychonauts 2
- State of Decay 2
- The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited
*Game library may vary over time and by country.
For current Xbox Live Gold members:
On September 14, Xbox Live Gold members will automatically become Game Pass Core members, with no change in pricing, and have immediate access to a new library of over 25 high-quality games.
Member deals & discounts will also be part of Xbox Game Pass Core.
Games with Gold will come to an end on September 1.
Players can continue to access any Xbox One games they previously redeemed through Games with Gold if they remain a Game Pass Core or Game Pass Ultimate member.
Regardless of subscription status, any Xbox 360 titles redeemed via Games with Gold in the past will be kept in a player’s library.
Thank you to everyone who has been with us since the early days, joined along the way with friends, and now with us in Xbox Game Pass. I’m proud and humbled by the stories we hear about online teammates becoming real-life friends after years playing, or even marriages whose initial spark was ignited in a pre-match lobby. We can’t wait to hear more from the community when it launches on September 14, and we’ll see you online!
