Game Pass potential departure dates​

Last updated - 2025-04-26

Spoiler

What is this?

Spoiler

Game prices in the Xbox store have a UTC end date associated with them. These dates generally fall into 5 categories :

1. The item is currently on sale. These are usually the weekly sale items that end Tuesday mornings at 09:59:59 UTC.
2. The item will go on sale, usually within 2-3 weeks. These are usually set to switch at 23:59:59 UTC, like the weekly sale on Monday evenings. Some of the major annual sales (Spring, Summer, Black Friday, Holiday) start on Thursday evening UTC, and some times appear to be random.
3. The item is on Game Pass and is not currently or going to be on sale in the next few weeks. Third party games generally cluster around 09:59:59 UTC on the 1st and 16th of each month. Currently, at least one game is associated with every 1st and 16th through January 2026. The dates then spread out, ending with Human Fall Flat on July 1, 2028.
4. First party and EA Play titles are farther out, starting in 2049, with many in 2799 and 9998.
5. No date - some items do not have a price and so don't have a date. If the item is part of a bundle that has a price, the date from the bundle is used.

The list below uses the dates associated with games on Game Pass and EA Play. Time stamps in red are the regular Game Pass departure times and titles in red are confirmed to be leaving, either from Microsoft's regular news postings or by devs / publishers. Items available through Game Pass Core, currently on sale or not available for purchase are also color coded.

The date associated with a Game Pass game is not a guarantee it will leave on that date, but since March 2023 when the price data started getting analyzed, every game that's left Game Pass had been flagged as leaving on that date. It's given a number of people an extra heads up on the generally 2 week notice Microsoft provides.

If you have any questions about the list, please ask in the thread.

A miserable little pile of secrets! But enough talk...Have at you!

I laughed entirely too hard at this

 

[Bloomy]

Though no one's complained about them, I shifted my weekly FH5 playlist posts to a new thread in the gaming discussions section to foster more, uh, discussion.

https://www.cheapassgamer.com/topic/374711-forza-horizon-5/

I'm sure the posts have helped get me most of the tuning accolades, just need a few hundred more likes for the last one.  So I'd like to give back and use / like other people's tunes if they post them, and we can also work at the vinyl and photo accolades.

The Rally DLC also drops next week, and the achievements have been made public.

[jsivley]

Has Knuckles' Chaotix ever had a re-release? Has any 32X version of a game?

Corpse Killer got a modern remaster, though technically it was a Sega CD/32X game, requiring both add ons

 

[Kromis]

If you get bored of Diablo 4, Midnight Suns is part of the Free Play weekend! Totally forgot to check the Free Play games until recently.

HLTB is saying the game is 36 hours though so...don't expect to beat it

CMA has folded - They are longer concerned about Sony.

"Having considered the additional evidence provided, we have now provisionally concluded that the merger will not result in a substantial lessening of competition in console gaming services because the cost to Microsoft of withholding Call of Duty from PlayStation would outweigh any gains from taking such action."

https://www.gov.uk/government/news/cma-narrows-scope-of-concerns-in-microsoft-activision-review

It's a wrap - No way the deal gets blocked for cloud gaming.

Knock me over with a damn feather, a logical decision by a governing board? "They would lose more money than they would gain and companies aren't allowed to operate like that" is way more sound than I expected.

As cool as that is, I still really just want to hear all the spilled tea from the Sony exclusivity contracts that Sony had to release to the courts.

Also what the other hurdles are there for this big dumb deal between Microsoft and Activision now?

 

[blueweltall]

Wait until people find out Sony been getting those exclusive deals because they been helping with funding the project and offering technical support. Something Microsoft has not been doing as much since the 360 days.

I'm hoping the Japanese FTC gets involved, for no other reason than to give the MS lawyers an opportunity to just say "Final Fantasy VII Remake" and then do a mic drop.

Common sense prevails! We're one step closer to getting Diablo IV on Gamepass!

 

[SIX min WHISTLE]

Wait until people find out Sony been getting those exclusive deals because they been helping with funding the project and offering technical support. Something Microsoft has not been doing as much since the 360 days.

This isn't really a one to one comparison. I don't believe Microsoft has paid for a third-party exclusive since Rise of the Tomb Raider. They are mostly doing marketing deals with some day one GamePass releases, while the games still release on PS5/4 the same day.

Now they've bought studios and turned their future games into permanent exclusives, but they've also supported those studios well. So far Ninja Theory, Double Fine, Obsidian, and Bethesda Game Studio have all said they've received a ton of support and resources from Xbox.

Sony has gone for their approach on and off since maybe Street Fighter 5, and ramped it up the last couple of years since they likely can't afford to acquire a bunch of big names like Microsoft did.

 

[darthfracas]

MS never did full third party exclusivity the way Sony has. They did some timed exclusives or heavy marketing support.

Rise of the Tomb Raider was exclusive to Xbox for a year from its 2015 launch, then came to PS in 2016.

The irony is everyone in the games press shit all over MS for that move, but no one seems interested in holding Sony to that same standard.

Looks like things are going to get spicier. I wonder if this is Microsoft laying some ground work for Japanese acquisitions.

If nothing else it's kicking a hornet's nest at them.

35 min wait to get on Diablo, eager to try necromancer. Only to error and get back in queue.

MS Casual Games rant… why does GPU include the ad free premium version of Solitaire, but no other games like Sudoku? Every time I get an ad in sudoku I just close the app. I’d like to finish off some achievements in that game but the ads for crappy match three games irritate the hell out of me.

Obviously because if all the Microsoft casual games went for free on Game Pass it would create an unfair advantage for them in the gaming market.

An elected official who's biggest donor is Microsoft is kicking up a fuss for Microsoft? Say it ain't so.

 

[awp]

RE 4 Remake is fantastic. Also don’t get the complaints about the Xbox controls and dead zones. I haven’t had any issues.

 

[Bryson]

Microsoft is not the donor, it's the employees. They have over 50,000 employees in the company donating to various charities and donating to this particular official has dated back over the last 10 years. This is not recent, nor did she say anything that isn't true. Sony very much has a monopoly in Japan.

That being said, lobbying is nothing new. Sony has been lobbying various officials to get the Microsoft / ABK merger from happening despite both companies having a mutual agreement. At this point, Sony just acting like that crazy ex-girlfriend desperate for sloppy seconds. Time to let go.

 

[TTAZ]

RE 4 Remake is fantastic. Also don’t get the complaints about the Xbox controls and dead zones. I haven’t had any issues.

Have you played the demo? Does it feel the same as the demo?

I definitely felt the issues in the demo. Played the ps5 and Xbox versions side by side and it was very noticeable.

 

[awp]

I definitely felt the issues in the demo. Played the ps5 and Xbox versions side by side and it was very noticeable.

I did play the demo and didn’t think it was an issue then either. Don’t think there’s a difference with the demo and full game.

Actually commented to John Linneman and he told me to download the PS5 demo and compare. I’m kind of afraid to since I’m enjoying it as is. But probably will give it a shot.

Edit: Played the PS5 demo and honestly couldn’t tell the difference other than it looking pretty bad compared to the Series X.

 

[bee01]

Consider yourself lucky that you don't notice large stick dead zones.  Sometimes I'm jealous of those that can't see the difference between 30 and 60 FPS or feel bad frame pacing in games like Bloodborne.

I decided to try RE4 (original) on Xbox again and I'm adapting to the absolutely massive dead zones they used for it (the sticks are basically D-pads), so RE4 Remake should feel great in comparison.  I'm not buying RE4 Remake until it's $20 so hopefully they fix the controls on the Xbox version or the visuals on the PS5 version by then!

 

[awp]

Consider yourself lucky that you don't notice large stick dead zones. Sometimes I'm jealous of those that can't see the difference between 30 and 60 FPS or feel bad frame pacing in games like Bloodborne.

Oh, I really can’t even play 30 FPS anymore. That IS a huge difference for me.

 

[Bryson]

Consider yourself lucky that you don't notice large stick dead zones. Sometimes I'm jealous of those that can't see the difference between 30 and 60 FPS or feel bad frame pacing in games like Bloodborne.

For what it's worth you can adjust the deadzones for those with an elite controller, people with regular controllers will need to wait for a patch.

 

[bee01]

For what it's worth you can adjust the deadzones for those with an elite controller, people with regular controllers will need to wait for a patch.

You can't adjust the dead zones that are coded into the game (like you can in Exoprimal, for example), but you can set the Elite sticks to instant to get you out of the dead zones with less movement. Sounds like it works pretty well for RE4.

Playing the Diablo 4 beta. I’m actually getting excited for it after today’s ATVI news.

Can confirm. I did this with my elite plus and it feels much better.

 

[awp]

It’s been a long time since I last played but always thought I remember RE 4 to be pretty challenging. But at least playing on Standard difficulty, it’s much easier than my old man memory remembered it being. I beat the lake boss on the first try. The giant boss on the second (almost beat him on the first).


Anyway, remake is so good!

 

[SIX min WHISTLE]

I remember RE4 being one of the easier RE games since they shower you in supplies and your melee attacks are crazy strong. Just a few hard spots here and there.

 

[Cloudrivera]

Re4 used to be in the Great New Games Spotlight punchard. Now it's not.

That was the whole reason I was going to get it. If it's not there, I'll just wait until the Game is on sale

 

[phat_tonyca]

I thought it was just me yesterday when I was considering the punchcard!

not sure why it seem far fetched? it why sony is really not waiting gamepass. if D4 is their on GP they will either have to pay to match it as ps plus option or risk losing more players long term as you can play a lot games for less then $70 and buy it later on sale, while still saving money. it a win win for MS, they knew what they were doing when they said yes, to spending billions.

Blizzard has already stated there's no plans for Diablo IV on Game Pass. However, that's also shop for 'let's not butcher sales' just months before launch. If I had to guess, once the deal is done it will take several months for it to come to Game Pass just to supplant sales into subs. My gut feeling is we get Starfield in Sept, Diablo in Oct, and CoD in Nov for a 1-2-3 knockout punch this holiday season.

That's really what keeps Sony up at night.

Even better, now the gloves are coming off against Sony for their "exclusionary conduct" and under the table dealings to pressure publishers. I'm loving how their greed is finally blowing up in their face and they could start facing some serious inquiries in the future.

How feel, Jim Ryan?

 

[bee01]

Lost 6 hours to the D4 beta.  Not sure if I can hold out for it on GP now.

 

[Antarael Dulacre]

Just reached Level 20 in the Diablo IV beta...will surely play the full game once it is out...also earned my Beta Pack with that

 

[Z-Saber]

What's the rough amount of time to get to level 20?

 

[Antarael Dulacre]

What's the rough amount of time to get to level 20?

Mhh didn't time it maybe 7-8 hours? Obvioulsy depending on how you play the game, if you are constantly fighting and just rushing from Quest to Quest it can probably be done even faster...

 

[jimmywolf]

What's the rough amount of time to get to level 20?

think main quest is bigger xp boost thu i notice all quest scaled to my level so there was never a point i " out leveled " content and there was a loot of quest i did not do them all wanted to enjoyed live game just hit 20 and stopped.

 

[Z-Saber]

Eh, probably won't have time to do it then. Thanks for the answers.

Played through INSIDE and A Memoir Blue in the past few days.  INSIDE for the TA "ide" target, A Memoir Blue before it left Game Pass.

A Memoir Blue is a very short game with a touching little story.  Took me about an hour to go through the game, picking up some achievements along the way.  Got the rest of the achievements on a second playthrough.  Aside from finishing the story, none of the achievements are tied to progression but most of them are straightforward enough from the descriptions.

Didn't realize / remember INSIDE was rated M when I started it, so I was a bit surprised with some of the stuff you experience right out the gate.  Got through most of the main game on my own, but needed a guide for some spots.  Not quite sure what to make of the story.

Need to go out of the way for all achievements, a number of which aren't very clear.  Only picked up a couple on the first playthrough.  Got a few more with chapter select after clearing the game and based on their relative position to ones I had popped.  Used a guide for the rest.  Didn't pick up on their visual clues to where they were, though it wasn't much help for some of them.

One of the achievements didn't pop for me when it should have, though the in-game progress counted (the final achievement requires it).  Appears to be a problem with the game, though the one that bugged for me isn't one of the ones marked buggy on TA.  Some of the pop suggestions on TA didn't work, but I got it by redoing it in a cloud session.  (It's on Game Pass, but was also GwG in July 2019.)

Took me about a dozen hours to complete it.  Can get through it faster if you give up on the trial and error searching and turn to a guide sooner.

Inside and Limbo are very vague in the story department. Both got praised for their stories and there isn't anything there but how you interpret what you played. It didn't really grab my interest, but it played well and achievements were easy.

Ran some Diablo beta last night and today. Got level 25 with a Necro and had fun with it. Don't think I'll stick with the class though. It's kinda weak when it matters and the minions have 0 agro during boss fights. The butcher sucks.

Finished Kraken Academy last night, I thought it was good

On the load screen though it says 96% complete. Is it always going to say that or is there something else? I have got all the achievements, and after I finished the last boss it asked to save and transport me the beginning of first day.

My save shows 100%. The only thing I can think of is the optional broccoli girl scene, but not sure if that counts towards the %.

Got to level 20 in the D4 beta. My barbarian was just starting to feel good. Sounds like necro and sorcerer are kings of the beta.

PSA - I just tried once again to buy the Xbox Originals game Splinter Cell on my 360 before it went off sale, and it's still unavailable to purchase and giving me an error message on the 360 store. 

So, when I bought it on my Xbox Series X and then turned on my Xbox 360 to see if the purchase had also transferred to the 360, it didn't.  

So, the lesson learned here is that apparently original Xbox and Xbox 360 games still need to be purchased on the 360 in order to be playable on both the 360 and whatever current-gen Xbox you're using. 

(Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow gave the same error, but Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory worked on the 360.) 

Glad that I could be the guinea pig for everyone else!

Bummed that RE4 was removed from the punch card, I was probably going to cash in some Rewards for it.

Blizzard has already stated there's no plans for Diablo IV on Game Pass. However, that's also shop for 'let's not butcher sales' just months before launch. If I had to guess, once the deal is done it will take several months for it to come to Game Pass just to supplant sales into subs. My gut feeling is we get Starfield in Sept, Diablo in Oct, and CoD in Nov for a 1-2-3 knockout punch this holiday season.

That's really what keeps Sony up at night.

I agree even if the deal goes through by June (end of Microsoft's fiscal year), It'll be awhile before we see Diablo up on Gamepass. Could be up to a year. Game will definitely sell like bonkers. They probably want to capitalize on that. Wonder how long before we start seeing ABK catalog hitting Gamepass?

There's a rumor that Hellblade 2 is targetting november release date. I think they are still doing Mo Cap for the game so looking like this a huge wild card whether it's a 2023 or 2024 release.

We still have no date on Forza either. Could be summer, could be fall.

Still some huge 3rd parties expecting to hit this year that I'm looking forward to.. Lies of P, Stalker 2, Hollow Knight Silksong

Really curious to see if Sekiro lands on Gamepass now seeing as how it was published by Activision.

I’m pissed. I preordered RE 4 when it was in the punch card. Didn’t get the credit for it but figured it was because they don’t charge until the game comes out. But it didn’t register. I need to email those bastards.
