Microsoft has officially announced they are replacing Games with Gold with Xbox Gamepass Core in September.
It will cost 9.99 USD a month. If you are a subscriber to Xbox Live Gold, you will automatically become a Xbox Gamepass Core subscriber. Xbox Live Gold was 9.99$; the cost to current Xbox Live Gold subscribers should not go up.
On the surface, it appears Xbox Gamepass Core will be providing more value than Xbox Live Gold.
As for the future of this Lemmy community and the Subreddit, that is up for debate. I will be creating another poll in the coming days to help figure out the future direction of this community.
For the time being, the August Games with Gold will still be available.
This post will be updated with more information as time goes on.

Agreed. At least Gamepass Core might be able to provide a little more value in terms of the games we will have access to.
