Up until the recent update for Xbox Insiders, the tiers of Xbox Game Pass were as follows:

2. For $15 a month, Xbox Game Pass Standard provides a vast collection of games but lacks online multiplayer.
3. PC Game Pass, specifically designed for PC players, boasts a large library of PC games including day-one first-party releases and an EA Play subscription at a cost of $12 per month.
4. The premium offering, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, includes day-one access to first-party games, Xbox Cloud Gaming, EA Play subscription, and a vast library for both console and PC at the price point of $20 per month.

The key selling points of these subscriptions are early access to first-party games, with titles like Keeper, Ninja Gaiden 4, and The Outer Worlds 2 being playable on their launch in October for subscribers.

Another significant advantage was that to enjoy gaming across console, PC, and Cloud, one had to subscribe to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate – however, this option is now expanded due to the latest update.
