I currently have Xbox Live Gold & Xbox Game Pass. Do I need both?

I would suggest upgrading to Game Pass Ultimate. Ultimate includes Gold, Game Pass for the console, it's cheaper than purchasing Gold and Game Pass separately.

Hi ellabmax,

That depends both are 2 different services:

Live Gold allows you to play online games, it gives you Games with Gold (monthly games) and discounts in the store.

GamePass is the month subscription service that allows you to play games that have been added to the service. There are some amazing games as well as Microsoft Studio first party games being launched day one on the service.

Xbox Gamepass Ultimate is Live & GamePass in one monthly payment

Do you need both, I guess only you have the answer to that question

Depends on whst you are wanting to play

You don't need both to olsy online xbox live gives access to online games and deas.

Gold lets you play online.

Game Pass gives you access to a game library so you can play games without having to purchase them and gives you discounts on those games if you decide you do want to purchase them to keep.

So they are 2 different subscriptions. You don't necessarily need either. If you do decide to keep both, I would suggest upgrading to Game Pass Ultimate. Ultimate includes Gold, Game Pass for the console, and Game Pass for PC and is cheaper than purchasing
Gold and Game Pass separately.
