Q: QuestionWhat is the difference between xbox core pass and xbox ultimate pass(1 answer)
A: AnswerCore is just the cheaper version not giving u access to as many games as xbox ultimate. Core gives u 25 free games as long as you have the membership and xbox ultimate gives you over 100+ games. If you cancel or get rid of the membership then i’m pretty sure the games will disappear.Answered by MicahG

- A: AnswerGame Pass Core is just for consoles. You can redeem the code on a PC, but I think you need an Xbox to use the membership. You want either PC Game Pass or Game Pass Ultimate.
