Unlike Games with Gold, which was scrapped long ago, Xbox Game Pass Essential grants subscribers access to a select list of games separate to the main Game Pass library. We've gathered together the full Xbox Game Pass Essential list of titles down below, and we'll continue to update this guide as Microsoft adds more games to the library. Before we get into it, we should mention that Xbox classes various free-to-play games as part of the Xbox Game Pass Essential library (because they feature in-game benefits as part of the service), but we're just going to focus on the paid titles that are included with the program.
