Check whether your plan includes a new release
Xbox’s Canada day-one page says new day-one games are included with Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass, but not with Premium or Essential. It also says Premium members can play new Xbox-published games within one year of launch, excluding Call of Duty titles. These are plan terms stated on Xbox’s Canada page; check the Xbox page for your region and the game’s listing for the terms that apply to you.
Do not assume a game is included just because it is newly released or appears in a general catalog collection. Confirm the title’s listing against your subscription, platform and region; Xbox notes that catalog availability changes over time and varies by plan, platform and region.

Choose where and how to play
Xbox says you can browse the latest games at Xbox.com, on your console, or in the Xbox mobile app and Xbox PC app. The mobile app can also send notifications about new Game Pass games.
Once you have confirmed a title is available, use the option shown for your device. Install it on a supported console or PC, or choose cloud gaming if the game and your circumstances support it. Xbox Cloud Gaming is an additional way to play supported titles; check the individual game listing for platform and availability rather than assuming every catalog game can be streamed. The listing is also the place to verify support if you intend to play on a handheld.

Check games that are leaving
If you are partway through a title, check the catalog’s Leaving soon collection and its game listing before relying on continued access. Game Pass access to a title ends if your subscription is canceled or expires, or if the title leaves the library. Xbox says the catalog page may offer members a discount to buy a departing game; terms apply. Check the offer and purchase details on Xbox before deciding whether to buy or finish the game first.
