Xbox Games Pass has got some new information thanks to some Xbox Execs. Many were worried that this new service would replace Xbox Game Pass, but Mike Ybarra has confirmed that this will not be case.
Games with Gold continues. Xbox Game Pass is not a replacement for that. Great games and benefits with Gold continue. #Xbox
