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.

I'll be honest, I never even heard of Lords of the Fallen until it came out this week (which even now I'm not sure of). I Just know it's a Souls type game because nearly all Souls type game has that similar sounding name scheme and even then I literally thought it was a game that already came out and got a remaster or something because they all sound alike.

Well, there is another Lords of the Fallen that came out 2014. This is kind of reboot/sequel but not a remake. So anyway, that’s probably where your confusion lies.

Hopefully no more big purchases like this in the future. It’s disgusting seeing these big corporations buying everything out.

Agree with you 100%.

 

[Gideon68]

Anyone know how to get the corvette E-ray in FH5? Thought you were supposed to unlock it by playing Forza Motorsport, but no luck

Did you play Forza long enough to make a save profile? Once you do that it should work.

It should take a couple of days. I played up to choosing a driver suit, so not very far, and got it two day later. It'll automatically be added to your garage, no need to download from messages.

 

[gamegirlpocket]

If it's going to happen it's going to happen and I'm okay with it.

Now I just want - no, NEED - Microsoft to do something really cool with some kind of crossover game. Halo / Doom crossover where a hell portal opens up on a Halo ring and zombifies the Covenant. It could even be some multiverse bullshit with a retelling mish-mash of the first Halo game.

Or for Gears, which may be a more natural fit. Marcus, Chief, and Doomguy teaming up in the silliest over the top AAA shooter.

Do it.

 

[Ervgotti85]

OK I’m not too familiar with what’s going on with it but can anyone tell me why they’re selling the ballad of gay tony for about the same price as Grand theft auto 4 and lost and the damned combined? Serious answers only please.

I'm fine with these big buyouts, IMO it ends up breeding cool new things. A lot of people at Activision Blizzard were probably getting some pay in stock that may have just been paid out in full this morning. Some of those creators will end up leaving Activision Blizzard and using some of that money to start up new small studios that will go on to create amazing things, like Respawn with Titanfall and Apex Legends.

ABK was one of, if not the largest 3rd party publisher in gaming.

There's no one this big left to buy.

Barring Disney actually buying EA, I doubt will see another acquisition like this.

Reminder: If ABK wasn't so poorly run and facing multiple cases of sexual misconduct (Which tanked the stock price) this deal likely would not have happened.

Shit, this is probably the beginning of the for physical. I guess I'm going to start eyeing some of the titles I've been waiting on for a while to be safe.https://twitter.com/Wario64/status/1712538697307140477?t=qWcsjSrcVEZt6PTO8kTYFg&s=19https://thedigitalbits.com/columns/my-two-cents/101223-1100

Good call and sad to see. I could understand if it was in store only, but am surprised to see it seemingly being across the board. I wonder if this would ultimately be a boost for Gamestop if they were the last store standing in physical game media. Certainly wouldn't hurt them to have less competition in that space

The reason I said this is from looking at what else we know is on the horizon. The digital console and next-gen plans that were in the Xbox FTC. The fact that some streaming shows have skipped any home release. The big one for me is Disney stopping physical releases in Australia. They are a big power in the physical space.
Target and Walmart are basically the ONLY retail chains that have physical video sections anymore, even stuff like FYE has already given up.

Was holding out for an eventual PS5 Pro, but FOMO might kick in an I might bite the bullet with a phat PS5 before those go away.

Hopefully no more big purchases like this in the future. It’s disgusting seeing these big corporations buying everything out.

Microsoft are definitely not done buying if that's what you're asking. As an Xbox owner I'm not sure how anyone can be against MS buying more studios since all of their games come to Game Pass and PC day and date.

People talk about Sony acquiring studios through organic growth whatever that means but Call of Duty owes much of it's success to Xbox through the introduction of Xbox Live. Also Microsoft won't put up with any of the sexual harassment stuff so they are gong to clean house and ABK will be better for it.

As for Bethesda, we know that Sony was trying to make Starfield an exclusive. Sony already has a 2:1 console sale advantage. You really can't blame MS for beating Sony at their own game and fighting for their life. I honestly don't think that MS buys Bethesda if Sony hadn't tried to make Starfield exclusive. MS and Bethesda's relationship goes way back as well. Also remember that Starfield got a full extra year of development to polish the game specifically because MS allowed them to do so.

Second point is, if not Microsoft then who would you rather buy up these studios? Amazon? Disney? Google? Tencent? Embracer? Google bought some studios and shut them down. After buying up half the industry, Embracer are on the verge of going bankrupt from the looks of it. At least Microsoft have the deep pockets to fund these studios and for the most part they leave the studios alone to make whatever game they want.

 

[Bryson]

*Me remembering all the people that were hyping that Nickelodeon and WB Smash clones and how my faith in them still not being able to get it right like so many other Smash clones was justified*

Rumor is that Disney might be working on a smash clone. They are trying to copy Nintendo's line of success. Dreamlight Valley is their clone of Animal Crossing. Disney Speedstorm is their answer for Mario Kart so it would make sense for them to make a game to compete with Smash Bros next.

I don’t buy physical games unless it’s for my Switch. I don’t have a BB that’s convenient enough for me to just browse so I never buy anything from them unless I need a tv or home theater stuff. When I have gone to BB, the movie’s section has continuously gotten smaller each time I’ve been. It was tiny last time I went by.

Two Ariel's enter. One gets legs and the other sleeps with the fishes!

And so long as they're on the multiple currencies bullshit I don't think they're ever going to get that Nintendo money.

 

[bee01]

The only negative I see from this merger is Bobby Kotick’s golden parachute

Bobby getting a huge payout was inevitable. He's free to become the PlayStation boss now.

I'd rather have a new Microsoft kart racer than a Smash clone, although I guess this is a "why not both" situation.

 

[greenwingzero]

Maybe we’ll see some interesting crossovers now? Crash Kazooie or Banjodicoot come to mind.

 

[sp0rklez]

Okay Blizzard and Microsoft, now figure out a way to allow people to play World of Warcraft on consoles.

I haven't played in years, but every once in a while, I get that urge to play an MMO and that's really the only one I've ever gotten super into. I know they've simplified skills at this point to where it'd be easy to controller map them. They could still even charge their subscription fee and maybe give GPU perks for cosmetics/pets/mounts or whatever. I'm sure a lot more people would get back into it or try it for the first time if this were an option.

Perhaps I'm just dreaming.

 

[rpgaymer]

You all are some sunny optimists. I’m actually jealous. What has MS done with all the IPs they already own? Not much. Every single Rare IP is dead. But we’re going to get a Banjo and Crash crossover now? Why wasn’t there a Banjo game in the past 20 years? Just Halo and Gears and Forza as their big releases year after year. I guess you can add CoD to that list now. MS now has more 3D platformer series than Nintendo and they won’t do anything with them, aside from maybe a Crash 5 to stick it to Sony.

This acquisition beefs up the GP library with lots of older games so now it is the most desirable gaming sub available. That was always the goal. A bonus is keeping future games (of which there will be far far less, and those ones will be guaranteed successes and not risky gambles on dead IPs) away from the competition’s consoles.

 

[awp]

I’m still actually shocked that we didn’t get any GP drop at all today. Oh well..back to my enormous backlog.

 

[Strider Turbulence EX]

Banjo Nuts and Bolts was released less than 20 years.

 

[rpgaymer]

Banjo Nuts and Bolts was released less than 20 years.

16 years ago and 2 console generations ago, I apologize for rounding up. Clearly the Banjo IP is stronger than it’s ever been.

 

[Strider Turbulence EX]

lol move the goal post, makes your argument stronger, no matter how fallacious.

 

[rpgaymer]

lol move the goal post, makes your argument stronger, no matter how fallacious.

Lol Nintendo has done more with the Banjo IP in the past decade than MS but don’t worry Banjo 4 is coming, along with a new Conker and that Perfect Dark game they teased ages ago. Just a matter of time. In the meantime please enjoy a bunch of old CoD on gamepass.

What's your favorite part of the deal, or change going forward, considering the $69 billion spent?

 

[Xfactor19990]

The inevitable price increase of Game Pass Ultimate!


Bring Candy Crush to Xbox so I can use bing points for micro transactions!

Bring back Overwatch 1.

I'm kidding I'm excited for all the older games I skipped like Spyro, Crash Bandicoot and so much more every COD since modern warfare on 360!

Hopefully they revive some old IP.


I'm just glad it finally closed.

20 months this took, and the main concession was Ubisoft getting cloud streaming rights? Anything else? Seems like a lot of wasted time and lawyer fees to finally get here.

I spent the remaining Dell rewards I had from the glitch a couple weeks ago. My total haul was a Series X, 2TB expansion card, and Series S 1TB for $60 out of pocket after the American Express $50 offer. Still have my $75 gift card to use with whatever rewards AWA gives away over the next couple months.

 

[SIX min WHISTLE]

The only thing I hope to see that is semi-realistic are some older games getting console ports or new remasters. WoW seems like a big undertaking. Maybe the Age of Empires people could do something with StarCraft 2.

I don't really expect much different out of Activision or Blizzard other than maybe the Crash team being taken out of the CoD mines or Vicarious Visions out of the Blizzard mines. I don't know about the Crash team, but VV's founder left Activision shortly after being promoted saying she didn't think the company would act on the stuff she was supposed to work on fixing.

Bring back StarCraft Ghost.

 

[bardockkun]

I Think the reality of game development these days put a damper on future non CoD and Blizzard games. Like pulling developers out of the Call of Duty mines to get them back on a new Tony Hawk and/or Crash game is going to barest of bare minimum take like three years from now. Like I'd love Raven software to *gasp* wheeze* make a sequel to Singularity, but who knows how long that'd take. Like it's cool to have all these franchises and developers, but man we won't see them bare anything new for awhile outside that.

Though for immediate things they could do...they could always make a Skylanders Complete edition? I Mean, what's the harm and it won't take as much time as many other things.  Hell or maybe talk to Hasbro and actually get those Transformers games since it sounded like they're down to talk.

I Guess that's a win??? Going to miss those steelbook's though...

Surprised this includes online sales, and makes me wonder if Target and Wal-Mart will follow suit or if it's really a Best Buy problem.

I spent the remaining Dell rewards I had from the glitch a couple weeks ago. My total haul was a Series X, 2TB expansion card, and Series S 1TB for $60 out of pocket after the American Express $50 offer. Still have my $75 gift card to use with whatever rewards AWA gives away over the next couple months.

Which glitch was that? The 6000 point one?

For those of us that bought Activision stock, you were paid $95 per share today so check your accounts.

I think it was giving 1000 points every time you refreshed the page.
Whatever it was, I’m super salty I missed out.

Lol Nintendo has done more with the Banjo IP in the past decade than MS but don’t worry Banjo 4 is coming, along with a new Conker and that Perfect Dark game they teased ages ago. Just a matter of time. In the meantime please enjoy a bunch of old CoD on gamepass.

I just want Transformers brought back.


How did we go from ‘no banjo in 20 years’ to 2008 was 16 years ago (it was 15 years) to Call of Duty?

I didn't realize they let you keep that glitched money. Did you have to spend it quickly?

Microsoft are definitely not done buying if that's what you're asking. As an Xbox owner I'm not sure how anyone can be against MS buying more studios since all of their games come to Game Pass and PC day and date.

People talk about Sony acquiring studios through organic growth whatever that means but Call of Duty owes much of it's success to Xbox through the introduction of Xbox Live. Also Microsoft won't put up with any of the sexual harassment stuff so they are gong to clean house and ABK will be better for it.

As for Bethesda, we know that Sony was trying to make Starfield an exclusive. Sony already has a 2:1 console sale advantage. You really can't blame MS for beating Sony at their own game and fighting for their life. I honestly don't think that MS buys Bethesda if Sony hadn't tried to make Starfield exclusive. MS and Bethesda's relationship goes way back as well. Also remember that Starfield got a full extra year of development to polish the game specifically because MS allowed them to do so.

Second point is, if not Microsoft then who would you rather buy up these studios? Amazon? Disney? Google? Tencent? Embracer? Google bought some studios and shut them down. After buying up half the industry, Embracer are on the verge of going bankrupt from the looks of it. At least Microsoft have the deep pockets to fund these studios and for the most part they leave the studios alone to make whatever game they want.

How about nobody buys these companies? Ever think of that? Industry consolidation is good for nobody but CEO’s wallets. I never understand these corporate nut huggers.

Yep that's crazy they let them keep it xD meanwhile they cancel orders for fun on regular earned points lol I will be sure to take advantage of any future glitches!

Yes and no. I figured it was a "use it or lose it" situation so I placed 2 orders that night (Series X and 2TB expansion card), assuming they'd probably get canceled. After that I converted the remainder of the rewards points into Dell credit. The next day they removed the extra rewards points from accounts (I had about 500 leftover points removed). However, they didn't remove the Dell credit from the converted points. I spent the rest of that on the Series S 1TB this week since I had the Amex Dell offer.
