How to Check Whether a Game Is Included with PlayStation Plus, Xbox Game Pass, or Nintendo Switch Online

To check whether a game is included, search the service’s official catalog and verify the membership tier, platform, region, and current availability status shown there. A title appearing in a catalog does not automatically mean every subscriber can play it: benefits differ by plan, and some catalogs rotate.

Check PlayStation Plus by catalog category

1. Search for the title in PlayStation’s official A–Z games finder.

4. For Monthly Games, claim the game during its availability period through the PlayStation Plus area on PS5 or PS4. Sony says monthly games can be downloaded and played at no extra cost while the membership is active. See PlayStation’s guide to accessing PlayStation Plus games.

5. Check the PlayStation Plus hub on your console for the full list available in your country or region. The linked games finder is a US-facing page and directs users to the console hub for the regional list.

Check Xbox Game Pass status and platform

1. Open the official Xbox Game Pass games page and search for the game.

2. Use the subscription and platform filters to compare the listing with your membership and the device you plan to use. A listing for a different plan or platform may not apply to you.

3. Check whether the title is under Recently added, Coming to Game Pass, or Leaving soon. These sections distinguish games currently listed from announced arrivals or departures. If a title is leaving soon, verify its live status before deciding whether to buy it; the page may also show a member discount.

Check Nintendo Switch Online libraries and included DLC

First decide whether you are looking for a classic-game library or included downloadable content (DLC) for a specific game. Nintendo Switch Online membership and Expansion Pack do not provide identical benefits: standard membership includes selected NES, Super NES, and Game Boy classics, while Expansion Pack adds other classic-game libraries and selected DLC. Some offerings depend on the system.

What to verify before relying on a catalog result

• Plan or tier: confirm your membership includes the category or benefit where the title appears.

• Platform: check that the listing supports your console or device.

• Region: use the catalog or console hub for your account’s country or region; the pages linked above are US- or Americas-facing.

• Timing: distinguish a current listing from an announced arrival, a game that is leaving, or a Monthly Game that must be claimed during its availability period.

• Extra requirements: for Nintendo DLC, check whether you need the base game; for classic libraries, confirm both the hardware and membership needed.

Because catalogs and availability change, treat the official service page or console listing as the current check rather than relying on an undated list elsewhere. These checks can answer questions such as “Is [game title] on Game Pass?”, “Is [game title] included with PS Plus?”, or “Is [game title] on Nintendo Switch Online?”
