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.

I thought you could not buy gift cards paying with gift cards, or how you planning to convert those $10?

Rewards certificates no longer work at all for purchasing gift cards, but regular BB gift cards do.

The catch is that you can't do an even exchange ($10 for $10), it'll look like it's going through but then it cancels the order. If you order a $15 card, though, you can use a $10 GC towards it, which is what I did.

It's probably Minecraft characters

TA says online services closed on aug 31st..if its not true id be down to complete the multiplayer achievements

I thought it was just the ghost mode that was getting shut down. Sniper co-op will get shut down before 3 is out, but it's safe for now.

Ghost Mode is down but there's no achievements tied to that. There's just the three (?) Sniper co-op achievements. Yeah they've said it'll be gone before Hitman 3 comes out, but that's due for January and it's already October... the way this year has gone by, it'll be here before you know it. Anyways, I'm definitely down (though I'd like a few days to play the new DLC levels solo and work out a strategy).

The Don't Starve: Giant Edition Gamepass weekly rewards quest is borked.  I already had the game installed from purchasing it, so I updated it and played through three in-game days, and the reward didn't pop.  I got my daily for playing the game, though.  Maybe they will fix the problem before the week is out.

Wrapped up New Super Lucky's Tale tonight. Really solid 3D platformer. I gave up on the original Super Lucky's Tale after a couple hours because the controls were bad but they fixed that and the controls feel great in this new version.

Yeah, it was great. Sometimes it pays to wait. I was about to start Super Lucky and saw the achivement list of New Super and waited a week and it went straight to GamePass. I also was just about to play Dishonored since it's been in my queue forever and then this shows up in my feed today.

The retroactive HDR for backwards compatible games on Xbox Series X is becoming one of the most anticipated system features for me, along with 60 fps. Check out the HDR enabled YouTube video below. I have a 2 year old TCL series 6 and just played this video on it and Geometry Wars looks insane! Last generation I found myself waiting to play games until they (hopefully) got X enhancements. Now I have full on fomo of playing certain games before they get Series X enhancements

Note: If you play this video in non-hdr or on a non-hdr device you will not see the benefits and the games may look worse getting converted back to sdr. I think the first game he shows (Bloodstained) may not be showing in HDR, but everything else is eye popping

By that logic, the 360 would have never been released because “Microsoft would never release a console that had heat issues” ...

 

[jsivley]

He’s not saying Microsoft wouldn’t release a console with heat problems. He’s saying that they wouldn’t hand over a console with heat problems to hundreds of journalists pre-release so that they could experience said heat issues.

I’ve already seen a few articles and/or social media posts joking about the Series X subbing in for your space heater during the winter ... I’ve also seen a number of posts stating the PS5 runs cool. Evidently both consoles are much quieter than their last generation counterparts.

The heat rumors seem to start from fragile fanboys who are upset by the lack of Sony coverage lately. Fanboyism is rather large especially around console launches. People will go to unmeasurable lengths to make Microsoft look bad especially after the Zenimax purchase.

 

[elitewillie]

Just read that and unless people didn't read the article, I don't see how they got the impression that the system has heating issues. It's expelling the heat like it's supposed to. Why didn't any of these people do any actual measurements of the heat.

I mean I feel heat coming out of the vents on my PC and laptop but it's never overheated.

I guess I'll wait till digital Foundry does some real testing to make up my mind. Something better than a gaming personality saying that it feels hot.

Thanks for the links btw.

Just want to add that I've never read anything on gamerant that wasn't straight trash. I mean their name perfectly fits.

I respect the guy calling out how they took his quote out of context to fit their narrative. Y'all think gamerant will issue a correction? Lol

They really learned their lesson from this though. Subsequent consoles from Microsoft, including 360 revisions, have had good heat management as a result of all the nonsense from the first generation 360 disaster.

 

[adonfraz]

From what I've seen the Series X fan is doing what it's supposed to - Expel heat.

"Xbox Series X is hot (45° | 120 f) only after 4 hrs of gameplay session and decreases its temperature by 7° | 44.6 f every 5 minutes at a time when it is in stand-by, and it goes to 27° | 80 f as normal temperature in idle."

He can't. It was just one "journalist" who said it. Then others debunked it. He was just trying to get reaction from people instead of actually reviewing the unit he got.

 

[bardockkun]

If this next generation has taught me anything, we should always trust the vague unknown sources with no prior insight as fact and to not be questioned. With that being said, I heard if you inject a whole PS5 into your veins, it'll make immune to the coronavirus and the Series S is powered by tiny kidnapped orphans.

Thanks I figured. Several people have posted how it was all debunked.

What I don't understand is that's it's running whisper quiet, yet it's hot to the touch.  Why wouldn't the fan go into hyper drive to dissipate that heat?  I would much rather my console run a little too loud than a little too hot.

They probably went with an acceptable middle ground for both heat and noise.

Apparently the whole heat issue is unsubstantiated and was basically made up by gamerant by misquoting people.

Both of the people they cited in their article to back up their heat issues angle have come out that they were misrepresented.

Also the Xbox wasn't hot to touch. An expandable storage was. I mean, if I remove an HD from my PC while or immediately after using it's usually hot to touch.

My macbook pro is often hot to touch. I wouldn't consider them having heat issues.

I think the heat they are talking about is the heat coming out of the top. It seems like it is pushing out the heat.

Guess we’ll all find out in a few weeks ... but the console running hot wouldn’t surprise me. Given it’s size and the massive fan on top, I’m almost certain it will put out more heat than the PS5.

I may just have to hold off on any Bethesda games for now since I feel like they will update damn near all of them and toss em on gamepass. Wonder if we'll get a next generation Skyrim to buy them a few more years before a new game and to keep the meme running. It's kind of funny to see these titles getting the next gen treatment while they still haven't addressed Fallout 76. As a live service game you would think they would want to update that unless it is still doing as bad as people suspect.

 

[adonfraz]

For reference if the journalist I linked to earlier had accurate readings the Series X runs cooler than the Xbox One X (and PS4 Pro) do.

https://www.windowscentral.com/xbox-one-x-vs-ps4-pro-thermals

"In our Xbox One X review we found it ran at 68C (155F) at its hottest point, and in my own testing that's about the same. The exhausts on the rear get pretty darn hot, with my own test clocking in at around 65C (149F)."

https://twitter.com/geronimo_73/status/1313534992501411840

"Xbox Series X is hot (45° | 120 f) only after 4 hrs of gameplay session and decreases its temperature by 7° | 44.6 f every 5 minutes at a time when it is in stand-by, and it goes to 27° | 80 f as normal temperature in idle."

Guess we’ll all find out in a few weeks ... but the console running hot wouldn’t surprise me. Given it’s size and the massive fan on top, I’m almost certain it will put out more heat than the PS5.

It would be disappointing if the larger, less powerful machine didn't run cooler.

Either way the Series X runs quieter and generates less heat than the Xbox One X.

Yeah, it was great. Sometimes it pays to wait. I was about to start Super Lucky and saw the achivement list of New Super and waited a week and it went straight to GamePass. I also was just about to play Dishonored since it's been in my queue forever and then this shows up in my feed today.

I'd approach this one with a little bit of skepticism. Not mentioned in the tweet is that there is also an Xbox One version and yep still a PS4 version. The only thing missing is the PS5, the version that they would have to do actual extra work for regardless. I've seen nothing that suggests this is some kind of remaster or any work being done to these at all besides packaged together as a collection and automatically preforming better on the Series S/X. I wonder if there are situations where Xbox One games reappear with Xbox Series packaging, like when BC became a thing there were a few 360 games that now got Xbox One packaging.

They honestly have to be the same person.

I don’t think I have any consoles or PCs or laptops that don’t put out a ton of heat.

Edit: forgot about my NES mini and SNES mini, those seem pretty cool

And who the hell are you?

Loving all these jackasses that have been members for just a few years and barely have any posts calling me a troll. The real trolls are the Xbox zealots that have overtaken this board and get bent out of shape if anyone shares information that doesn’t meet their expectation for anything Xbox brand. It’s just sad really.

By that logic, the 360 would have never been released because “Microsoft would never release a console that had heat issues” ...

The RRoD issue with the 360 was something that took a while to occur, and wasn't immediately noticeable. An issue that occurs with prolonged use is much different than what is being talked about with the Xbox Series X.

Worst kept secret on CAG. I suggested etcrane was Zantra's mom a while back knowing full well it was an alt. Hopefully he does something bannable from this account too so we can be fully rid of him. Or until the next alt I suppose, like a cockroach, probably never be fully rid of the pest.

You’re so wise 43 year old troll ... maybe you should focus on posting deals rather than sharing your gift of clairvoyance ... we’re just not worthy of such power ...

True, I only use it as an example of heat issues in past consoles, which a number of companies have had issues with. I’m a fan of Microsoft products, I’ve owned just about every one since Xbox, but heat is one of the biggest issues with new hardware. I don’t think it’s a fatal flaw by any means, but it will require more vigilance about how to position a relatively large console in an entertainment center. If I get a Series X and a PS5, I may not be able to stack them on the same side without worrying about heat issues.

But it's not an apples to apples comparison though. I had a 360, it did get the RRoD, but before that happened it's not like I noticed it throwing off a crazy amount of heat. The problem was occurring gradually inside it over many months. No one could have guessed that would happen when it first launched.

So to that I say, yeah, who knows, the Xbox Series X could potentially have some fatal flaw within it that manifests over time due to shoddy manufacturing. But I do find it hard to believe that Microsoft would send out so many preview units to people if the thing was immediately heating up like a blast furnace. But, we'll all find out firsthand in little more than a month, at least.

Agreed, they are different circumstances, however I would wonder about a unit that runs exceptionally hot right out of the box and how that could effect console longevity in a manner similar to the 360. It’s true though, MS and Sony have gotten better since the 360/PS3 era. Will be interesting to see how it runs at launch.
