Game Pass potential departure dates​

Last updated - 2024-06-22

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 2025. 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.

Not trying to deflate your enthusiasm for the game. Just noting the achievements don't "spit out" in my opinion.

You're right. I tried it this morning before I left for work, and that first world is hard as hell. Or my reflexes suck in my old age. I'm 40.

 

[josekortez]

I like that Sonic Mania is in there. Sonic is my favorite anime.

Edit: okay I googled it and I guess sonic is considered anime.

Jaleel White is one of the great anime voice-over actors of our day.

 

[hopeless]

So Borderlands 3 on the X1S is still near-unplayable in split-screen. I think I know the answer to this, but before I spend any more money-

Gamesharing includes Gold, yes? I already have a spare console so I'm leaning towards buying a second copy of the game so we can play on XBL instead. My girlfriend doesn't have any subscriptions because she never goes online, but if she's playing on my home console, we can both go online together on separate systems, right?

It should work, saying should since I haven't tried it.

Picked up The Division 2 for super buy it now price of $3, I had bought it physcial at GS late last year when it was $15 used. Thinking about keeping it as backup or trading it.

 

[SIX min WHISTLE]

So looks like the anime month game sales updated with new deals.

https://www.xbox.com/en-US/promotions/sales/anime-month-sale

Highlights include...

Sundered $4.99

Ys Origin $7.99

Shining Resonance Refrain - $14.99

I'll probably grab Ys Origin here. It's supposed to be a good entry point and I don't think I've seen it on sale before, it's digital only too. Only issue is it's the only Ys game on Xbox, the recent Ys VIII skipped us like most JRPGs.

 

[p0rn0saur]

I'm already pot committed on Rise of the Tomb Raider so I guess I know my next "project". Yeah surprised there hasn't been any more announcements since they were pretty vocal about February being a "really" good month. I mean I suppose FF 15 is a pretty big named at least title, but kind of shrug on Wolfenstein Young Blood and Death Squared was a GWG already. 

 

[chrisbravo]

You're right. I tried it this morning before I left for work, and that first world is hard as hell. Or my reflexes suck in my old age. I'm 40.

I read "spit out achievements" and went for it, got through world 1 and was super annoyed, the camera is bad, the music and sounds are super annoying and overall is just bad. Took a chance on world 2, even worse, got to the boss at the end of that level and wanted to throw shit at my monitor because of how annoying it was, got 2 achievements and uninstalled.

Took a chance on world 2, even worse, got to the boss at the end of that level and wanted to throw shit at my monitor because of how annoying it was, got 2 achievements and uninstalled.

Sorry. I will never again use the words "spit out achievements" except in regard to porn.

 

[gamegirlpocket]

Thanks for all the replies re: gamesharing. Will probably buy the digital copy and split it instead of having two discs, then she and I can share that too. Now we just need to fight over who has to play on the small TV.

Almost done with A Way Out and I'm picking up some serious gay vibes between Vincent and Leo. A Way Out of the Closet is more like it.

They just released the next batch to leave (Batman Return to Arkham, Just Cause 4, Rise of the Tomb Raider, and Snake Pass)

Bummer about Snake Pass. I played through the first few levels some time last year. I enjoyed it but it very much seems like a game I wouldn't want to play for more than an hour at a time. May jump back into it to decide if I should add it to the wishlist or not for the next time it goes on sale.

I haven't played the second tomb raider and haven't played just cause 3 so the other 2 aren't that of a bummer.

I played through to World 6 or 7 so far. And that damn boss on world 2 was the most troublesome thing for me.

Aside from my hatred for the camera (and inability to control it), I thought it was pretty fun.

 

[entexman]

You're right. I tried it this morning before I left for work, and that first world is hard as hell. Or my reflexes suck in my old age. I'm 40.

I hear ya. I struggled through world 1 and 2 yesterday. You are a youngster compared to me. I am 53.

Agreed. That 2nd world boss was the most frustrating boss fight ever. That's as far as I am playing this game.

You are a trooper to play that long. I will say I used to love the monkey ball games back in the gamecube days. I think I preferred the party games over the single player though. I have not tried that feature in this new game. I don't play party games much anymore.

The games were always challenging, but I think that the addition of a jump feature in this installment is what has made it more troublesome than the others. And my favorite party game on the GameCube was Monkey Target followed by Monkey Bowling and Monkey Race.

I'm playing the Decathlon mode now with all the party games. It appears that they didn't play test these games to make sure that they were fun. I think that developers assume that players just want games to be more difficult and that they don't care about making them fun. And this free play weekend is probably going to backfire on Sega if they expected that it would make people want to buy the game.

Edit: I just cleared the Decathlon mode which is apparently a rare achievement (4% of players). And I didn't toss my controller before finishing it.

In a strange turn of events, some of the Microsoft gift card dollar amounts have been removed from Bing Rewards. You can still redeem a $1.50 card, or a $3 card, but then it jumps up to $25 and $50. No more $5 or $10 cards.

[braiiins]

Played the gamepass game Tracks - The Train Set Game. It was an okay little game but unless you have kids it probably isn't much more than a gamerscore boosting game. It was nostalgic for a bit but once I got all the achievements I was done. 

I also played Transference. Not usually a horror fan but I enjoyed the puzzles. I had an achievement and ubisoft club tasks glitch on me. Luckily the game isn't very long, beat it without a guide for the puzzles (used one for collectibles) and it didn't take more than 90 minutes. The last time I had an achievement that should have unlocked not unlock was during shadow of mordor within the first few months of release. That was a story based achievement like 2/3 through the game so haven't gone back to get it yet.

I played that for some achievements back around Christmas and thought it was okay. It was somewhat fun but nothing I’d actually buy.

Even though I commented about the Monkey Ball game achievements, if it were not for you I would not have even given the game a try.

Thanks!

Yeah, in regard to Super Monkey Ball, I'm glad there was a free weekend so I that didn't spend my own money on it. I'm also looking forward to playing Sonic Mania.

 

[kcobra22]

Don't worry, Sonic Mania is only 300MB so you don't need a back up disc copy.

But seriously, discs are just becoming less useful. Games get so many updates now that you usually have to download the entire game anyways, or even more than that, because of how many things have been changed since the launch disc copies.

To continue Valentine's, Forza Motorsport 7 - gifted 2 cars

The first I don't know, I thought I was clicking on the weekly rewards but it turned out to be a free car. The second is a '57 Vette covered with hearts. No option to sell the cars if you were thinking that.

The only thing the disc gives you is a license to play it. But I will play digital copies or disc copies...typically whichever is cheaper.

Except when I beat the game.... I can sell the disc. (And get the digital later for a few $ if I really want it again)
Got anthem for cheap, sold disc for a loss of $1.3x or so, got game for $5 later. Kept the steelbook.

The buy 4 used games for $20 is also still going through the end of business today even though the buy 2, get 1 free sale for President's Day has already started. You can choose which promo to apply to get the best deal.

In the past few weeks, I bought the following Xbox One games with that sale.

Dead Rising 4 (was $9.99 used)

Indivisible (was $9.99 used)

Industry Giant 2 (was $7.99 used)

Mutant League Football (was $9.99 used)

Sparklite (was $8.99 used)

Trine 4 (was $4.99 used)

Warhammer: Chaosbane (was $9.99 used)

Indivisible, Mutant League, Sparklite, Trine, and Warhammer were all converted from "new" to used.

 

[awp]

Trine 4 is already $4.99? Hmm.. might have to grab that.

Of course, just so the rest of you can get it on GamePass.

Generally I think it can still help if you're counting every gigabyte month to month. Like the DOA6 I just bought still installed 25 gigs off the disc alongside a similar sized download. I know some discs basically act as unlock keys, like Overwatch prompts a full game download since they did a compression pass a while ago to shrink the games total file size. I still like having a disc as backup in case of delisting.

For some games it serves as a way to play the original unpatched game that you digital copies can't provide. Things like Shadow of the Tomb Raider's original ending or Bloodstained's original game balance and exploits come to mind.

Overall I still feel like discs can generally be acquired cheaper on average than a digital copy, at least until it's been out long enough to get a steep discount or crazy promotion like Division 2 currently has. You've obviously got the used market as a factor, but then you can factor retailer style sales that don't really happen on the digital store fronts, the seemingly permanent cheaper launch copies of games that Wal-Mart has had for like a year, or stuff like clearances on games to try and clear some shelf space, like the $10 prices at Gamestop for the recent Indivisible.

Late to the conversation but I think consoles will go the way of smartphones and I wouldn’t be surprised to see on at $699. The new razr just came out beating the iPhone, iPhone 12 will surely be around $1500. I think a $700 console is very likely. Especially with all the backwards compat coming in it doesn’t just have to play new games.

After the PlayStation 3 and Xbox One launches, I highly doubt either one will be at $700. That seems like console suicide.

People buy phones in installment plans though, which is something MS is dabbling in. Right now Sony and MS are going to play a game of chicken and that's going to benefit us on the actual price of the console. It seems the general consensus is now that it's going to cost Sony $450 a unit to manufacture the PS5. I don't know if they have a corporate edict like Nintendo where they would never sell hardware at a loss, but I do know that 2 of the 3 generations that Sony totally dominated and probably killed in software sales were the PS1 and PS4, where they came in $100 less than the Saturn and $100 less than the Xbox One. It's easy to look back at both now and say well they had the better library of games but that was still an unknown at launch, third parties support both systems. PS2 being it's own thing as an affordable DVD player when the format first started. It will be interesting for sure, MS is never going to get in the conversation again about how this game runs at 900p on Xbox while it runs at 1080p on the PS4, so that will cost money. MS has very very deep pockets though and could sustain an extended period of hardware loss sales if people are turning around and signing up for Game Pass subs. It's going to be really interesting for sure to see who flinches first on price, but as of right now I'm still in the $499 camp for both. Xbox can't afford a click bait headline that says the next Xbox costs $600.

 

[Zantra]

After the PlayStation 3 and Xbox One launches, I highly doubt either one will be at $700. That seems like console suicide.

I agree. Cell phones do way more than video game consoles. It doesn't make sense for a video game console to have a cell phone price. And, Nintendo has already proven that just because you make a portable console as powerful as a cell phone, you don't need to make it as expensive.

 

[SIX min WHISTLE]

Yeah, $700 isn't in the cards at all. I could see 600 for a console being feasible, but all the console manufacturers will likely have the disaster "599 US DOLLARS" in the back of their minds for a while still. According the article that leaked the PS5 info, the PS4 was only being sold at a $19 margin at launch. I think Sony will want their price to be as low as possible so maybe $475 could actually happen.

It's hard to say anything for sure. The PS3 supposedly was sold at a massive loss of around $240 per unit, but they don't seem like they'd want to be in anything close to resembling that problem again with consoles/games being the biggest money-makers for Sony as a whole. If they were to try and undercut the Series X that seems like it has to be $500, a $400 PS5 could happen. The issue there is that ridiculously high Xbox One launch price was forced by the Kinect and made even worse by the weak specs of the system itself. These factors don't appear to be there with the Series X and PS5 seemingly having similar specs, and the hopes of undercutting price go out the window if the weaker Lockhart Xbox is still happening.

Realistically Sony can easily just wait for Xbox to name their price, match or slightly beat it, and still absolutely dominate sales this year just coasting on the momentum they've had for the entire generation, not to mention having actual exclusive games to the new box when Xbox won't have any, unless some third-party publisher is insane. I assume Xbox will announce a price at E3, so I guess we'll know soon after then.

Played the tutorial and one match of the Bleeding Edge beta. It's got some cool heroes and mixes things up in a decent way. I'm glad it is launching on gamepass because as cool as it may be I'd be worried that it wouldn't sell well and a month after release you'd have the diehard players that would steamroll anyone that just has a basic understanding.

Watched a stream of it. Looks pretty basic right now, and I still don't like most of the art design. Probably will wait for the actual release before trying it out.

If you care about cosmetic bonuses, you get a DLC pack for participating in the beta. There's also a cosmetic that you get for playing this weekend but they said that cosmetic is available to purchase for in game currency. Don't know if it's boosted for the beta but I got around 100 currency in the match I played and 50 for each portion of the tutorial. The one cosmetic I looked at in the store cost 600 credits.

As someone who has dumped hundreds of hours into Call of Duty over the years, 300+ hours into Smite, 300+ hours into Overwatch and 300+ hours into Apex Legends, I think I should be the audience for Bleeding Edge, and maybe it's better then it looks, but my hype level is almost zero for it. I rarely spend any real money on these games though so they aren't out anything by not attracting me, but I worry if it's not attracting me that it might not be attracting the people they need to make it successful.

The new Division 2 expansion says that it's $40, but my Xbox Store currently says $30. I just got a free copy of the game with $3 in points that was about to expire, and though I already have the game, and have progressed quite a bit on PS4 Pro, I may have to play on Xbox One X instead, if I can get the expansion for $10 less.
