Game Pass potential departure dates​

Last updated - 2025-04-26
What is this?
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.

So what’s everyone planning on playing over Christmas? I’ve been playing Breath of the Wild again and have a n abundance of PC games I’ve been meaning to start. Might see if the wife will play the Gears 5 expansion with me.
I want to 1000/1000 Assassin's Creed Valhalla and Lego Marvel Superheroes 2, then keep going with Cyberpunk, Control, and Jedi Fallen Order.
 
Unfortunately, the days of getting $10 for 8,000 points appear to be over. This use to be the best way, hoard all your points until this deal dropped then cash in.
I miss those days :(

Do people here usually use these points towards extending their Game Pass? Are they gonna use it for buying a system? I am already good through August of 2023 with GPU. I also bought 10 cans of rockstar so far and that's $1 each MS money I need to redeem. I'll buy more cans if I can find them too. Basically, if I don't use the MS money towards a system, I would be using it for Game Pass as I don't see myself buying any digital games from the store really. If I could buy physical games that would never come to game pass, that would be appealing. Basically trying to find my best fit/use of the points for me.
I have mainly used points to purchase games. I have used them for purchasing items from the MS store (External HD and controllers).

I would say cashing in points for MS store purchases and buying digital games would be the best way to get the most out of your points.

Honestly don't know how you all get so many points. I get like maybe, if I'm lucky, $10 a month, usually it's $6. I pay full price for gold each month (I simply can't afford to buy in bulk even on sale), I never get offers for gamepass either. I never get emails from MS offering free points, I never get Any emails from MS unless I buy something. It's like the poor stay poor, and those that have money get all the free shit.
Approx three months I did Everything I possibly could, including spending my money on sales, and saved up a whopping $38 in ms cash.
Well it is a rewards program. You get rewarded the more you participate. Spending money is the best way to get compensated by a rewards program.

 
A good way to maximize your MS points is to run two accounts. You can donate 5k points from one account to another once a month. You could use one account as a "savings" account and use the other one to donate, and redeem for gift cards. By doing the daily searches, one account could both donate 5k points to the "savings" account and also have enough points to do the auto-redeem $10 MS gift card. Then you'd have $30 every three months to buy games with.

I find the GamePass points to be worth it. It's not hard to do, and while the returns are not as good, 1k points a month is still better than 0 points. Plus if you do the weekly tasks, which are usually opening the app for 3 days in a week period, or earning 3 achievements in a week period, those streaks are pretty nice. You get 2.5k extra every 10 weeks. Again, it's not a lot, but it's easy money if you use your xbox nearly every day. Plus the other deals on console. Your 6k for a new game is nice. The 2k monthly for earning a few achievements and taking a quiz is nice.

The Xbox Series X I ordered direct from Microsoft has already shipped and should be arriving soon. That was unexpected.

Estimated arrival date was January 5, 2021. Just in time for my Holiday Vacation. :bouncy: :bouncy: :bouncy:

 
I Will say the biggest silver lining on the no more hot deals thing in Rewards is I don't have to worry and be overly conservative with my points. Like with the possibility of hot deals I always just held onto a shit ton of points and cashed them all out when the deal came, but then (first world problem incoming) I'd have a good large amount of credit I have to figure out how to use in three months and hope for good sales. Now though I can really just cash out what I want and use it and not really worry about credit expiring and that's it.

 
Lol, if it's a game I'm actually enjoying, I'll play until whenever, regardless of achievements earned. I'm trying to get the daily achievement, but I also don't reatrict myself from enjoyment in that pursuit.
But what about the $0.05 you get from the daily achievement reward? Would you seriously pass that up just to have fun playing a video game?
I work a lot of overtime during the week, and most of those hours are spent in front of a monitor, so I can only stand to look at a video game after work for about an hour anyway. But I'm glad you guys are able to enjoy your games more than I do. LOL!

 
Not sure if it’s just me but as an owner of both new systems I have to say the Series X doesn’t FEEL as next-gen as PS5 does even though it’s arguably more powerful. While I love backward compatibility I wish they had done something different with the controller and UI like Sony did. It just feels like I’m still using my X1X whereas the PS5 seems like a whole new experience.
 
Most basic rewards math:

Points available each day:
150 from Bing desktop search (5 points per search, 30 searches total)
100 from Bing mobile search (20 searches)
20 points for using Bing in Edge Browser on desktop (4 searches)
30-70 points for daily sets on the rewards page (10 points for a specific search click, 10 points for a 2-choice poll/quiz, and 10-50 for the daily quiz (call it a 50 point daily average)

That’s 320 points (on average) per day. Add in streaks for doing daily sets on consecutive days that top out at 150 every ten days, that’s another 450 points per month.

That right there is 10,000 points per month for 10 minutes each day tops.

A three month Live Gold subscription is 20,0000 at level 2 (which you will be at after two months of getting all the search points on offer). In that three months, you get another 20k in two months to cover another three months, and bank the third month’s 10k for something else.

And I haven’t even touched on the additional points on offer in the Rewards app on the Xbox. 50 points for an achievement each day, Weekly sets that frequently require the same Bing searches you’re already doing.

Sony PS5 UI is trash though. I rather old quality than new trash.

I beat Yakuza 0, 1, and 2 recently thanks to gamepass. I'm not sure if my body is ready for 3-6. I haven't looked them up but reading posts on hear makes it sound like they aren't as good as the first 0/1/2.
I started yakuza 0 and the game is just okay to me so far; I'm around chapter 6 or so. Did you feel like 0/1/2 were good? Sounds like you are on the same page as me if you are questioning playing 3-6, or maybe just burning out on them. I'm trying to feel out if these games get better or what I am getting myself into and if I should keep pushing forward with the franchise. I want to like the game but mechanically it isn't very fun but the story is really the only driving factor of continuing.

Either Yakuza Kiwami 2 or Dragon Quest XI with some Destiny 2 on the side.

It reminds me of how getting a new phone used to feel like a big deal when all the manufacturers had different operating systems, but now I just go from Android to Android and the differences are minimal. I love how much snappier my Series S is, and it's definitely light years ahead of my old Xbox One, but the dashboard being the same can make it feel like a replacement more than an upgrade.

I’ll still be playing AC Valhalla. I just started playing Animal Crossing again. I’d really like to give Dragon Quest a shot.

They probably should have added a couple of "flexi-grip handles" like Mr. Garrison's flying machine, so then you would absolutely feel the difference. Seems like an odd complaint to have a nice and easy transition between generations and not have to replace all your controllers.

The PS4 UI was exactly the same through the whole gen, no real changes and the biggest improvement I could tell was them adding the USB storage suppport (it wasnt there at the beginning just as NVME is not this time around)
XBOX UI has changed and evolved during this last 7 yrs and they added and changed several things that shouldnt just be overlooked.
Its a real ecosystem vs just a layout for your system.
When you buy a new PC you dont really get a whole new UI unless you are coming from Windows Vista or older and even thennis not that different.
I like knowing where my stuff is and where to make the changes I need and I am also sure that in the next 2 or 3 yrs we will keep getting improvements and changes as the generation evolves.
 
I'll get a PS5 when it gets cheaper and less ugly, but man I do not like the idea of a controller that fights back. There's already enough problems with controllers having problems with stick drift and dead zones that I don't want to worry about the triggers locking up for gameplay purposes and me jamming on it to the point where I know it'll inevitably break.

They said the same thing on the CAGCast. It was rather anti-climactic setting it up, can't lie. There is also something to be said though to have an OS that has been streamlined and optimized vs one that is still ironing out the kinks for usability.

I do love the refined Xbox controller although it's not revolutionary. I haven't used the Dualsense but I've heard it's amazing. Time will tell if it's utilized well by developers or becomes like the Sixaxis (utilized by 1st party games but largely ignored for multiplatform).

So what’s everyone planning on playing over Christmas? I’ve been playing Breath of the Wild again and have a n abundance of PC games I’ve been meaning to start. Might see if the wife will play the Gears 5 expansion with me.
Will continue playing Yakuza 7 but may dive into a backlog game which requires a lot of free time. AC Odyssey and Breath of the Wild are on the top of the list.

 
Completely off topic but somewhat on topic based off of what we talk about in here. A fair amount of people in here seem to be movie lovers. Mostly with screenpass and stuff like that.

Does Amazon prime video ever put movies on sale?

I’ve been digging into my old favorites and just wanted to ask before I start buying. Some older movies are reasonable at $7 or $8 but others are near the $20. Thanks in advance for your responses.

Yeah, they do. You can use this to find deals:

https://www.blu-ray.com/deals/?retailerid=1&category=prime

Note that if you want the movies to port to Microsoft, Vudu, Apple, etc., tick the box for Movies Anywhere and it will filter those.

I’d say overall iTunes and Vudu have better sales but Amazon does price match a lot of them.

With auto redeem I am actually using my points for games instead of just hoarding them... No I can focus more on hoarding digital games for my backlog.

My bank of points keeps growing though, probably helps that my spouse donates to me each month too. My plan is to cash them out for a couple of custom controllers for us when the design lab is back up.

I might be in the minority but the "lack of newness" feels like a plus for me. The upgrade was easy and I get to pick up right where I left off on all of my games - plus it seems some play better too. I had been out of gaming for about 5+ years when I picked up a One S back in Feb...mostly just for OG BC and QoL improvements from playing on aging hardware...so there is still a lot of meat left for me on the X1 gen content wise.

I can see where it seems like a lack of something new here but I can't help but think going back to my X1S would suck...a lot (just load times alone would be a drag). I think we might take for granted those little tweaks here and there. And Xbox might not be getting some due credit for how seamless they made upgrading feel (assuming that was the plan)... I hope it pays off for them but seems like they are taking a lot of flak for it...they just can't win I suppose...

 
The cheapest option if you already have the movie on blu-ray and just want a digital copy is to look into Vudu disc to digital. It's only $2 per movie. If it's a movies anywhere title, the movie will then show up everywhere else too, including Amazon.

I enjoyed Yakuza 0 for the story and the newness of the gameplay, but it did start to wear out in the middle chapters. I took decent breaks from playing it and when I came back I would focus on the story. The amount of time spent doing the same street fights over and over is what burned me out. Some of the sidequests were humorous, but some where just odd. When I decided to play Yakuza 1 and 2, I focused more on the story and skipped most of the side content. It made for a good experience as a lot of the side content is the same in the later 2 games. Combat wise I think I enjoyed 2 > 0 > 1.

I would suggest stocking up on the strong healing items and just playing through the story. 1 or 2 chapters at a time. Unless you find a sidequest/game you want to try.

I’ve been digging into my old favorites and just wanted to ask before I start buying. Some older movies are reasonable at $7 or $8 but others are near the $20. Thanks in advance for your responses.
I use Cheapcharts to find deals on Amazon movies as well as those on the Apple Store, the Google Play Store, and Vudu.

But if Amazon is what you want to see, here it is.

For PC players, Trials Rising is free on Ubisoft Connect today and Cities Skylines is free on Epic Store.
Ubisoft has been giving stuff away all week and ends Saturday I think? Was Valhalla cosmetics, starlink for pc, legions cosmetics and now trials. Wonder if tomorrow will be fenyx rising dlc and another game on Saturday?
 
I’m only asking about movies on Amazon for the ease of use across all my devices but I will look into the other suggestions as well. I guess whichever service gives me the best and universal bang for my buck.

Thank you for the responses so far.

That's why I started using VUDU (ease of use across platforms), but now that Apple TV is on Xbox and some newer smart TVs, it's also a contender. If you aren't signed up for MoviesAnywhere, that's an easy recommendation since you can get the best price at any online store but access purchases on your primary or preferred platform.

Amazon is really lacking in 4k content, especially sale prices, but most MA content ports well.

Amazon actually has a lot of 4K content including some things Vudu and iTunes doesn’t have. Problem is that it’s very difficult to find and they have separate listings for 4K and HD content. I honestly hate Amazon’s interface so I only buy things there that are MA and will port to iTunes and Vudu.
 
Regarding Vudu they currently have The Office complete series for $29.99 https://www.vudu.com/content/movies/details/The-Office-The-Complete-Series-Bundle-/1043933
And since Netflix will be removing it from their library at the end of the year thought some of you would like to buy it.
Also if you go on ebay you can buy VuDu credits for relatively cheap and essentially get The Office for around $15.
I bought office last time it was $30, my wife really wants That 70’s Show digitally since it left Netflix but I can’t find it for a good price.
 
How does the movies anywhere thing work though? How would the other platforms know that you own the digital license?

I apologize for the beginner level questions but this is all completely new to me.

In a sense, you buy and redeem a movie from a specific film company (the ones that a part of Movies Anywhere) on any of the platforms that work with it, and they all share the fact that you own the film digitally.

 
OT but some good news at the end of a shit year. Girlfriend is getting her vaccine on Monday since she is essential personnel at her job. The feeling of relief is hard to describe, since I'm just in a constant state of worry that she will get sick. There's a long way to go but the first tangible piece of an end to this nightmare is here.

Maybe I'm just not looking hard enough. Usually when I browse sales, Amazon always has 4k stuff in the $8-10 range and never hits the $5 sweet spot iTunes has.

 
Hitman 2 Gold edition is $15 again. Fine, this is one game where having a disc is just a clusterfuck of downloadable levels and 'content' that work when it feels like it.
Oh, it’s almost as big of a clusterfuck on digital. Square Enix really made a mess of that game as far as downloads and content access.

Yes, that is very good news. I'm a teacher, and look forward to getting one in the next few months. A shot is better than sticking a cotton swab up my nose every few weeks.

 
Yall, Terminator Resistance is finally on sale digital for $20:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/terminator-resistance/9P9CXWVQP6M9

I actually bought this when the disc was cheap because I was worried it would get delisted before it ever went on sale. It's actually not a bad game if you are a fan of the original films.
Shitballs this is one I actually want to play. Thanks for sharing will add it to my cart. Gonna wait to see what else is in the sale and what the punch card holda
