Xbox Game Pass Starter Edition: Full 58-game list leaked

Microsoft's next Game Pass tier has not been announced yet, but its full game library, price point and launch window have effectively already gone public. A leaked catalogue of 58 titles, published by one of gaming's most reliable insiders, gives the clearest picture yet of what the Xbox Game Pass Starter Edition will actually offer.

The Starter Edition first appeared in April 2026 when data miners discovered it through a Discord build which showed an entry-level subscription that cost $9.99 monthly and provided access to more than 50 games and limited cloud gaming services.

The 58-title library closely mirrors the existing Xbox Game Pass Essential tier, the subscription previously launched as XGP Core in September 2023. The two groups share a major portion of their members, but they do not share all their members. The Starter Edition reportedly includes two titles absent from Essential: Doom 64 and the original Psychonauts.

The Essential library does not include Goat Simulator because the title leaves the library on April 30, which will happen before the Starter Edition launches.

Billbil-kun a French insider who has worked for Dealabs for multiple years, has expanded upon the first disclosure information.

In an April 24 post, Billbil-kun published what is believed to be the complete game list and narrowed the launch window to no later than mid-May 2026.
