How to Check Whether a Game Is Included in Your Xbox Game Pass Plan

Use Xbox’s official Game Pass games catalog, search for the exact title, then filter by your subscription plan and the device you want to play on. A game’s availability can vary by plan, platform, region, and time, so a listing for another setup—or an older article—isn’t confirmation that it’s included for you.

Check a game in the Xbox catalog

1. Open the Xbox Game Pass games catalog. Xbox also says you can browse games on an Xbox console or in the Xbox mobile and PC apps.

2. Search for the game’s exact title in the catalog’s search field. Check the result carefully if the title has similarly named editions or entries.

Xbox says that “Game titles, number, features, and availability vary over time, by region, Xbox Game Pass plan, and platform.” The live catalog is therefore more useful for checking one particular game than a general list of titles.

What to do if the game does not appear

• Confirm that the search spelling and title are correct, then check that the plan and platform filters match your own.

• Do not infer inclusion from a listing under a different plan or platform, or from an older roundup. If the game is absent for your combination, the catalog does not confirm it is included for that setup.

• If a plan difference may explain the result, review Xbox’s current plan comparison. Plan benefits are not interchangeable; check the live comparison rather than assuming every plan has the same library or features.

Understand what a catalog result means

Availability can change

A title shown today may not remain in the library indefinitely. Xbox says subscribers can access library games until the subscription is canceled or expires, or the game leaves the Game Pass library. See the Xbox Game Pass overview and FAQ for its current terms.

Plan names and platform support matter

“Game Pass” does not identify a single universal library. A game may be available for one tier or platform but not another, so use both catalog filters rather than relying on the game’s name alone. For tier benefits, consult Xbox’s plan comparison.
