Xbox Game Pass Core was a new service announced by Microsoft that will take the place of Xbox Live Gold starting September 14th, 2023. One of the benefits that was included in the 20-plus year service was the Xbox Games with Gold program which gave Gold members a certain amount of games for free per month. Now that it’s gone, will games be given out for free on Game Pass Core?
