Xbox's new Game Pass Standard tier, which replaced the existing console tier and excludes day one launches onto the service, is missing much more than that. Massive first-party games that were previously used to sell the service like Starfield, Diablo 4, and Hellblade 2 are nowhere to be found among the subscription's strange middle tier offerings.
As discovered by Kotaku, the Standard tier lacks some of the biggest games in the catalog, even though they were a part of Xbox Game Pass for Console before the announced restructuring of tiers. Their absence from the Standard service is an odd choice, especially when trying to entice people into a more budget-friendly option. Mass appeal games like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 are also absent from the Standard tier despite joining the service just a few months ago.
