Game Pass potential departure dates​

Last updated - 2025-04-19

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.

OMG, I still have Cyberpunk sitting there unopened. I need to find time to finally start playing it. Too many freaking games to play!!!!!!

 

[SIX min WHISTLE]

Been to a few shows this year and last with several more coming up. So far so good, no illness yet. Hoping all those vaccine shots are working well.

Never seen Dethklok live. My disappointment in that they aren't coming near Arkansas is quite high.

I saw Dethklok on a tour with Mastodon and honestly that show was a little disappointing. They had the screen on stage showing animated stuff, but most of the stuff was pretty low budget, loops over basic pattern backgrounds, and the screen itself took a bit too much space on the stage for the small venue it was at. But this was 14(!) years ago so hopefully it's better this time.

Babymetal is very good live, I saw them back in 2016 I think.

 

[Captain Wrong]

Off topic but Dethklok just announced their first tour in over a decade, co-headling with Babymetal, as well as a new movie and album.

Has anyone gone to any concerts lately, metal specifically if possible? It seems like asking to get sick.

My bass player saw The Residents a few weeks ago and he and his wife got COVID. Be safe out there.

I've seen them live a few times and nope, that's still a Dethklok show. Just Brendon Small and co. playing in near darkness while animation that accompanies the song plays behind them. Though animation is more intricate post Dethalbum I or so, but even then if you seen them live once then you're not missing too much there after. Though it also doesn't help that you saw them with Mastodon whom sound great, but stage presence isn't their forte as well.

Though really if you're a fan of the show it's worth going just to experience, but also on Roku there's a full Dethklok show from when they played at SDCC last year and yeah it's that same experience.

 

[briandadude]

How is this on Microsoft exactly? Do you really think they are trying to sabotage the game on purpose or something? Arkane was a 3rd party studio when MS acquired them. MS delayed the game one year already. What do you want MS to do? Delay the game again?

I think covid really hurt a lot of studios and we are seeing the repercussions of that now, every major AAA game from every platform has been delayed. Making games ain't easy. Just take a chill. I've already said that people need to avoid trying to play games on launch day. People who play a game after it's been all patched up have a much better experience than people who play a game day 1. Just look at Cyberpunk 2077 for example. 3 years later it's like playing two different games and it's still continually being improved upon to this day.

Because Microsoft touts "day 1 on game pass" for all these titles and then they all seem to get delayed or broken at launch, usually both.

I think of the people who bought the "all access" xbox + game pass line of credit (yuck). What big day 1 exclusive titles did they get for their $300 of Game Pass compared to the trailers during the xbox series release window...Flight Sim, Forza Horizon 5 base, and Halo campaign?

There are many games on game pass, but I think they should downplay the day 1 angle because the expectations are set too high.

 

[gamegirlpocket]

Good news, everyone! I'm finally leaving my incredibly toxic and stressful full-time job to focus on other career stuff. Will be working fewer days and also making a little less money, which means 2023 is the year of the backlog.

I Feel like the only one that's going with The Redfall news with "well, that's a bummer" and followed by "eh, I'll still play it with friend's when it's out so whatever."

Same. If everything else is well made and performs well, I can get over it. If it's 30 FPS and dipping into the 20s that is another story

Congratulations! Hopefully it will lead to a happier less stressful life. I watch my wife struggle with the stress of her job, and I know just how much misery that comes with.

I think I might be immune to it. 2020 never slowed me down , I was going to underground raves and metal shows all the time.

COVID definitely sucks. Periodt.

But also it's so weird to use that excuse for everything to be delayed still. Like the Nier anime had TWO delays supposedly due to COVID, and that's happening right now. Delayed indefinitely mid-season, no date set for it's return.

Maybe other jobs are a lot more in-person collaborative than I imagine, but I know if my company slowed down at all during the pandemic over the last three years, it would have been catastrophic. I get that the initial transition to remote work (if possible) sucked, and it messed up a lot of things, but how is that still impacting stuff like this three years later?

 

[Dustinator]

Hearing the band name Dethklok took me back. I went to the Ozzfest tour in 2012(I think) and was totally bummed Megadeth wouldn't be part of the tour Day One. So Dethklok subbed whom I had NEVER heard of before. Was a good show in the end. What y'all have described is totally how their performance was. Huge venue though

Just finished The Gunk. Took me a little over 5 hours. Didn't know it was made by the Steamworld Dig devs. I enjoyed it. A chill, discovery game that I could have subtitles on while I listened to podcasts in the background while playing

 

[HektiK]

Bro, I'm hoping that you work as well, perhaps just a less stressful job?

I do, been with the same place for about 16 years now. It's not the best or highest paying but it's been consistent and fairly low stress. Now I just wish I had done something different that made more money so she could have less stress in her life. Hard to leave the known quantity and take a financial risk going somewhere else where I feel failure is likely.

Sorry i don't mean to be a bummer.

 

[Bloomy]

Best of luck! Also, good job on the correct usages of fewer and less. And also count me in on expecting to hear how the Mega Man repeats go. If you still have the reflexes for it.

For me, after much delaying, it's (probably well past) time I brought my sabbatical to an end and formally get my job search going. It's been a fun 16 months, but money's going to start becoming a problem. Dropped my taxes into today's mail. Didn't technically have to file since $0 income for 2022, but still wanted to get it on the record and have TurboTax backing me if someone decides to audit. (Had to snail mail because you can't e-file with the feds with no income.) ZeniMax is hiring in my area of expertise. "Why do you want to work here?" "I want direct access to the MS store infrastructure so I can get deals up on CAG more quickly."

I get that the initial transition to remote work (if possible) sucked, and it messed up a lot of things, but how is that still impacting stuff like this three years later?

I've heard Japan was particularly hard hit by COVID restrictions due to the smaller average size of homes/apartments, and the general culture led to a lot of people not having a home PC, workspace, or real room to add one. I'm not sure if that's started to change now.

I'd also wager they're spreading themselves too thin as seems to be the norm in modern anime. A quick search makes it look like they probably have 4 or 5 projects in production at the same time as Nier. I definitely could see COVID being a factor for anime like this since scenes sometimes lean heavily on one or two people so getting sick at the wrong time could everything up.

I promise I'm not trying to be a jerk, but ... something like 0.1 percent of homo sapiens that was alive at the dawn of 2020 has died of COVID, and something like 10 percent has had it. It is very much not hard for me to imagine that still affecting productivity by simply removing or disabling workers, to say nothing of second-order effects (reorganization of work, caring for a sick relative, grief, etc.)

Don't get my wrong, I'm not trying to downplay it on an individual level. Literally dealing with it (kinda) for a second time right now.

I guess it's just the macroeconomic level that eludes my understanding. I suppose the business I work for must be a lot more unique than I give it credit for given our extremely successful transition to remote work.

Sorry for the thread derail. Just something I must have a blind spot about. Back to vidja games.

I just got banned from another forum for three months so I'll be around here more often.

I was trying to "give away" a discount on some Xbox Live Gold codes due to Turkey codes being limited to 13 months max now. But alas, I was "abusing the giftbot" because I wasn't actually giving anything away and trying to sell stuff instead when I stated it would be a different kind of giveaway. SAD! (The discount I was going to give away was substantial; if you're familiar with the pricing at the Microsoft Company Store then it would've been the same for one lucky person)

I finished Life is Strange True Colors recently and I was supposed to make a post about it over there but I guess I'll share it here later on

Naw, gotta tell them what they want to hear. "I hear crunch at video game companies is tough. I spent 7 years at a company with a constant 'crunch' - a weekly release cycle where only 5 weeks were skipped during my time there, never missing a scheduled release, including prepping a build from Logan International after Pax East 2017 trying to beat a blizzard out of Boston. Routinely pulled 24-30 hours shifts Monday into Tuesday herding cats to get the development trunk into a suitable state to deploy into testing. I coddled software engineers and quality engineers, letting code cutoffs slide a few hours, debugging things for them and fixing their bugs. My suggestions to improve things were disregarded, until someone else suggested them. And I put up with that BS for 7 years without a proper promotion because I liked the work and my coworkers, but was terminated anyway because my supervisor and department head thought I wasn't eating enough of their ****. Show me what you got."

3 months of no stock posts for you.

The Redfall news today isn't the end of the world but it's a bad look because it adds to the perception that Microsoft studios are troubled (deserved or not). Series hardware sales seem to be seriously lagging behind PS5 in various markets now that PS5 is readily available. So many complaints of "Xbox has no games". Microsoft needs to start delivering some bangers. Hi-fi Rush was a nice surprise. Hopefully there's more surprises at the June event.

 

[gamegirlpocket]

Well since you asked, replaying the MM collections on PS4 for at least one platinum trophy is part of the backlog...

Congratulations! Hopefully it will lead to a happier less stressful life. I watch my wife struggle with the stress of her job, and I know just how much misery that comes with.

That's the plan! Life is too short to spend it working for people who don't respect you at a job which makes you physically ill.

18 years of school, 3 years of supervised work, I'll essentially be self employed. Feels good.

Best of luck! Also, good job on the correct usages of fewer and less. And also count me in on expecting to hear how the Mega Man repeats go. If you still have the reflexes for it.

Don't ever doubt it! I'm just more tired earlier in the evening. And in the morning. And midday.

I bought mine from MS but it was within a year of the console releasing.

I'd be interested if you have more.

I appreciate your interest. Hold that thought for a bit.

I didn’t want to make a buy/sell/trade post advertising the exact prices because I didn’t want to attract a swarm of buyers; I do have a finite amount I can offer at cost (I’m not looking to make a profit or incur a loss) until it resets at the end of the fiscal year in July.

Is there some kind of giveaway mechanism I can use to randomly pick someone interested?

Also apparently I’m not supposed to “resell” these codes, hence why I needed to be vague about the details. Also I don’t work for MSFT, I was given a Friend’s and Family pass by a friend who does.

You can always use a random number generator to pick the winner. Just search that on Google and one actually pops up at the top of the search.

P.S. I’d also be interested in that F&F discount.

Wrong person quoted sorry.

I am not familiar with the pricing structure but that sounds like it would be a great deal on getting 12 month gold to renew Game Pass ultimate. I would also be interested. Is it everything on the Microsoft store discounted or just digital games?

Ubisoft+ is up for XBox and lawwwd, the fine print of what it entails from the initial website advertising it to the actual choosing a plan page are two different things. Basically only available in the $18 a month Multi Access plan, which still centers around the PC as focal point with the XBox and mobile being a bonus and you don't get new releases day one like on PC nor premium editions as far as I can tell.

My buddy just sent me the xbox wire article about it and just skimming the list of games I already have about 85% of whats on the list/what I'm interested in at this point in my backlog. Plus it seems like every other week is an ubisoft sale anyways

Feel the same way. And i feel like most ubi games are pretty cheap not too long after launch. Makes more sense for most people to pick them up during sales.

I'll look into that before I attempting to organize something. Thanks.

All 'software' is 50% off MSRP, first-party games (and some DLC) and subscriptions included. Most of the time, the Xbox sales are much better than this discount unless you want something that doesn't go on sale very often or not as deeply discounted. (See the pic from the other CAG thread I linked). Also I currently have a $226 max discount on my account at the moment which is where the 'finite' amount comes from, meaning I can only buy $226 worth of goods until it refreshes later this year (there's more FOMO later on as my discount gets closer to disappearing and it would be a waste not to utilize it somehow before the refresh)

I'm sort of getting cold feet discussing this openly since I'm not sure of the repercussions for "reselling" something at cost (again, see that link above but who's going to tattle ) but also because this is CAG where some SDers might be lurking, I get that icky feeling some lurkers/members might just want to take advantage and resell my generosity for a profit. I can recognize the frequent posters here though so maybe it might not be too bad. Maybe I'm overthinking things

I'm just trying to understand what person plays Ubisoft games on their PC want to play on their XBox as well. Like I don't know who this is for at all especially with that price ($18???). Game Pass monthly is $15 a month or so on the norm and has random helpings of Ubisoft games and available to play on the Cloud and PC as well. Then again business hasn't been Ubisoft's strong point for awhile...

I had that Microsoft discount for a while. Got forza horizon 4 ultimate for $50 on release day.

Surely Ubisoft's (partial) library that is constantly on sale for like 80% off is appealing at a price higher than 400+ GamePass games right?

There doesn't appear to be any 360 games included, and it's not even the entire Xbox One library. Amazing pitch Ubisoft.

Yea it really hasn't been their strong suit for quite awhile. Ill definitely be passing and just sale buy what I want, I just cant imagine the gamer who would buy this?

Also anyone think AMEM may be worse or atleast equally as disfunctional since going to gamepass only? I've earned achievements in Ghostwire Tokyo and Loop Hero and haven't had it show up to redeem for points in the rewards part of gamepass but have had other games show up.

With the last day of Apple TV+ left I really enjoyed that Tetris Movie, was a fun watch.

I was surprised by how good Tetris was. I like the Russians they made it fun to watch
