since I'm going to switch from the PS4 to the Series X, I want to get rid of 5 more questions…
FYI: I played on the 360 before the PS4, but unfortunately I'm not up to date with the Xbox
how to play online Do you still have that Xbox live membership to play online?
what is this Xbox Gamer Pass? Do you pay monthly or only once?
Are there 2 free games per month for online members like on PS4, if so, are the games good?
the controllers work with batteries? Did I understand that correctly?
can you connect a headset to the controller via a 3.5mm jack plug and hear the game sound over it?
Yes, you still need Xbox Gold to play online
It's like Netflix with games. You pay monthly and have access to many Xbox games, some of them directly when they are released. Incidentally, it also works on the PC.
There are also "free" games like on the PS4, only in contrast to the Playstation you can keep and continue playing these games even after the Xbox Gold subscription has expired.
Yes, unfortunately it is still with a battery. But there will soon be batteries from third-party manufacturers to buy again or the old ones will definitely work.
At least it worked with the Xbox 360 and Xbox One, so I guess it will be the same with the new one.
I can answer a few questions.
1. Yes there's still Xbox Live Gold to play online.
2. The Xbox Game Pass is like a Netflix for games. The Game Pass Ultimate subscription is based on the Game Pass for PC, the Game Pass for Xbox, and EA Access. And included the Xbox Live Gold Membership. You can pay monthly or for the whole year.
3. Yes there's. Games are different. But tastes are different. Warn already very good ones
Regarding 4 and 5, I can't say that much about the Series X controllers. I only know the Xbox One or One X.
They go with a battery or rechargeable battery that you can buy separately. And latch was also possible.
To 3. Unfortunately, it is no longer possible to play the Games with Gold games on the Xbox One without Gold. Only the Xbox 360 games work without gold
So I don't have a gold subscription right now and can still play former gold games.
I'm a Playstation player myself, but I can still answer your questions with my knowledge.
how to play online Do you still have that Xbox live membership to play online? : As with Playstation Plus, you have to pay for this monthly or these credit cards that you can get at every petrol station
what is this Xbox Gamer Pass? Do you pay monthly, or only once?: It's comparable to PS Now. For example, you pay like you would for Netflix to be able to stream content and these are games. Unfortunately, I can't tell you whether you have to stream it on the Xbox or can play it directly.
Are there 2 free games per month for online members like on PS4, if so, are the games good? : Yes there are.
the controllers work with batteries? Did I understand that correctly? : With battery or connected via USB Type C
can you connect a headset to the controller via a 3.5mm jack plug and hear the game sound over it? Unfortunately I can't tell you either…
Although some of the questions have already been answered, I also try to be helpful.
1. Yes, like on the PS, you need a chargeable Xbox live Gold membership. This is available either as a subscription for 6.99 a month or as a prepaid card in stores with a limited validity.

2. The Gamepass offers the possibility to access over 200 changing games and to play them in full for a monthly fee. This costs 9.99 or as an Ultimate including Xbox live Gold 12.99. This is also available in stores as prepaid for a limited period. It is important to note that all Xbox Exclusives and games for which Microsoft is responsible as publisher are available for launch and will remain permanently. Whereas the other games always change.

3. Yes, with the gold membership you even get 4 games every month on the Xbox. Mostly 2 One and 2 360 titles. The former require an existing gold membership to play, whereas the latter remain playable after it has expired. The quality is variable, but for you as a newcomer it is certainly interesting.
4. No, although the controller only comes with batteries, it can also be operated with rechargeable batteries or cables. But I recommend the original Play and Charge Kit from Microsoft. The battery pack not only lasts longer but is also more durable than the built-in battery of a PS Pad. In addition, you can simply continue playing with the enclosed cable while using it.
5. Yes that works.
The games from the gamepass can be downloaded. Streaming is not necessary, but with Ultimate it is possible as an extra on the smartphone.
Do you have Game Pass Ultimate?
Otherwise it might have been changed. I made the experience that the Xbox One games were no longer playable without gold. That didn't matter on the 360.
