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

He also confirmed that you will not need an Xbox Live Gold membership to sign up to the service, along with giving a first look at the new membership section which is coming with a future update. Mike also confirmed that you will not have stream the games, and they will be downloaded only.
