    LOADING...

    Xbox 12 Month Game Pass Essential is a one-year digital membership for US-region activation that includes 50+ games, online console multiplayer, and game streaming on supported devices. It suits Xbox players who want a year of shared gaming and access to a game library; activation is not available in Puerto Rico.

    Recommended For

    • Xbox console players who regularly join friends in paid online multiplayer and want that access bundled with a rotating selection of games.
    • Console players who want to try games from a smaller subscription library rather than buy every game upfront, and are comfortable with titles rotating in and out.
    • Players who use Xbox across a console and supported devices and want access to Essential games in more than one setting, without needing the largest Game Pass catalog.
    • Xbox players who mainly buy specific games but still want a subscription for online console multiplayer and occasional access to included titles.

    Real-World Use Scenarios

    • An Xbox console owner wants to play a purchased multiplayer game with friends; Essential includes online console multiplayer for eligible paid games, while free-to-play games generally do not require a subscription for multiplayer.
    • Someone looking for a game to try between major releases can browse Essential’s included library and play available titles without buying each one separately; the selection varies over time and by device.
    • A subscriber away from their console can stream supported games on a compatible phone, tablet, or TV for a casual session, provided they have a supported device and internet connection.
    • A player who sometimes uses a PC or supported handheld can download included games there when those titles support that device, rather than relying only on their Xbox console.
    • A player of a participating game can check Essential’s in-game benefits for eligible items or bonuses; benefits vary by game and may require installing the game to access them.
