Welcome to the Xbox Deals and Discussion thread.

General info
  • You cannot currently buy any Xbox 360 content on xbox.com using your account balance, you can only use an active credit card or PayPal. To use your balance, you must make purchases on your console. Unfortunately, even "purchasing" free content through the web site like trials requires an alternative method of payment tied to your account, though adding an empty MasterCard / Visa gift card that is registered for online purchases will work. Xbox One games can be purchased on the web site with your account balance.
  • Some sales are intended for Gold subscribers only, as noted within each section.
    On Xbox One, Gold trials of any length work for sales and Games with Gold. You must be an active Gold subscriber (paid or trial) to play Games with Gold purchases.
  • On Xbox 360, you must have at least a 1 month Gold subscription for sales and Games with Gold. Neither 48 hour trials, 14 day trials nor free weekends qualify.

  • All known sales and information on sales should make their way into the OP. Major Nelson usually updates his blog with new sales information every Tuesday.
  • ALL OFFERS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE! No information within this thread can or should be construed as accurate (or still valid), therefore ...
  • Always verify Xbox Live Marketplace prices before your purchase!
  • Spend wisely, have fun, and enjoy!

Game Pass potential departure dates​

Last updated - 2024-05-16
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 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.

I liked Kinda Funnys games cast on Xbox today. Alot of good points . One of the major things they talked about is Hellblade 2 is coming out in 2 weeks. This was the game they showed how special the Series X was and marketed it as a major game but we got a preview a few weeks ago and now crickets. Where is the supposed Marketing Aaron greenburg said was starting up. Much of xboxs great quotes/ statements are coming to bite them in the butt.
 
There's a "Streak Protection" for online MS Rewards. You can miss up to 14 days and still keep your streak.

Anyone able to complete Play a PC Game for 15 mins and Play Jewel. I had both on for more than 15 mins and neither has completed.

Great time to be a gamer…

Take-Two Interactive:
Laying off 580 people by the end of this year.
Canceled various projects and just closed two studios.
Their earnings took another hit for the 8th straight quarter and GTA6 may be delayed until 2026.

Microsoft:
Laying off even more people and closing four studios.
Games in development at said studios are now in limbo or possibly canceled.

Sony:
In hot water with gamers for censoring Stellar Blade.
Helldivers 2 controversy concerning linking PS and Steam accounts to play it on PC starting on May 30th. Said it was temporarily delayed in being implemented and was the plan from the beginning. 170 countries cannot have PS accounts which means losing access. After facing major backlash, they reverse their decision. Steam/Valve issued refunds to most players affected by it and people review bombed it on the Steam store.

If I missed anything feel free to add it. /rant
 
Layoffs happen, I’m sure Microsoft has there reasoning. People are so mad at Microsoft but, forgot all about Sony laying off a huge amount of there staff this year as well. Japan studios got shut down some years ago and no one made a fuss about that. It’s just how business works unfortunately.

Jewel completed no problem. I played 45 minutes of solitaire and still nothing so gave up. Opened up my app an hour later and finally PC was completed.
 
The Stellar Blade censor isn't that bad, one costume with an OK looking addition, it's more that project lead kept talking up "no censorship" the last couple months and it stirred up the obnoxious part of the community. It's sounds like crossover outfits from Nikke is coming, if those get "nerfed", we'll really hear some screeching.

Much worse were the badly censored DLC costumes in Soul Calibur 6, which were originally commissioned from actual hentai artists for their F2P game.

Don’t forget Embracer Group started the ball rolling when they completely imploded after the Saudis didn’t give them that fat check they were banking on.

I swear, the corpos who run these giant game companies are basically inept psychopaths. It’s almost as if getting promoted to these exec positions requires being at least a tad subhuman. They’re like even worse versions of silicon valley tech bros, which is saying something.

I heard people talking about Embracer Group, didn’t know what happened though. Makes sense know. I agree that suits running the companies are practically narcissistic, money grubbing bots.

I forgot to add the Sweet Baby Inc. scandal aka GamerGate 2. It’s worth looking into as the players involved is quite interesting… Then there’s the Lara Croft Tomb Raider will no longer be raiding tombs controversy. The always online games being delisted with no offline access for those who bought the physical or digital version of the games (The Crew 1 comes to mind). The list goes on and on.
 
I just now looked into the Sweet Baby Inc rabbit hole because I never heard of it and oh boy literally everyone involved on all sides of that real life Black Mirror episode is terrible. And that’s enough internet for me today ✌️

So be careful with that, I had that a few months ago and thought it would 'shield' if I did not do the daily set. It still counted as my days even though I had completed the set. eh oh well must be like vacation leave for a certain time enable it.

This is why Nintendo has survived for so long. They know what they’re good at and stick with it.
 
Handheld PC seems to be a mess outside of SteamDeck. Most of the options are too expensive and have shit battery life. I don't know if another branch of hardware is happening from the Xbox team either, not as hard as they're pushing streaming to phones. Maybe something like the PS streaming thing.

There are definitely too many options, and the best competition to the Steam Deck don't compete on price. Valve is taking a very Nintendo approach to the Steam Deck, the sweet spot between good-enough performance and price.

Digital Foundry did a video recently on all the Deck competitors, it was pretty interesting:


Know not everyone is a fan of Phil Spencer but I wouldn’t be surprised if the next shoe to drop is him leaving. I honestly don’t think this is what he envisioned for Xbox but don’t think he’s pulling the strings anymore.

There is probably a budget guy / team taking a hatchet to everything post Activision-Blizzard to save money, and they are probably using some absurd, unrealistic metric for profitability to determine who doesn't get the ax. Same reason we probably aren't getting a Dead Space 2 remake and the reason we didn't get Tony Hawk 3 + 4 remakes.

In particular w/ M$ closures with Arkane over Redfall - that (Redfall) was supposed to get Offline Mode update this month:

With all the recent news of Microsoft fumbling the ball, the rumor of Perfect Dark still looking in dire states got me like...

Pretends To Be Shocked Fake Shock GIF by AIDES


Been nearly four years since that needless pre-rendered trailer.

 
I wish they had just taken The Intitive off of Perfect Dark entirely. It sounds like an even more mismanaged internal studio than 343. Should have given full control to Crystal Dynamics if they have the team size for it. IO Interactive might have been a better fit if they end up not doing FPS.
 
Not sure how true it is but saw someone on Twitter talking about Hi Fi Rush and it's music licenses. With the studio being gone it is sure to be delisted because the music license won't get renewed. No clue how that all works but I'd assume we are several years off before that could happen.

The game has a streamer mode that replaces all the licensed music with original tracks.
 
So does anyone have any Ubisoft Just For You upgrade offers on their accounts besides for Ghost Recon Wildlands Gold/Ultimate, Ghost Recon Breakpoint Gold/Ultimate, Division 2 Warlords of NY/Ultimate, AC Origins Gold and AC Odyssey Gold/Ultimate (and Valhalla, according to Bloomy)?
Specifically curious about Watch_Dogs Legion, can anyone who owns that check the store page for the Ultimate Edition and see if they have an upgrade promo discount?

Don't have one for Watch Dogs: Legion.

I have an offer for Far Cry 6 Gold and the Ultimate Edition even though I own the Gold Edition already.
 
The news the last few days has really been a bummer with these Studios Closures. I really frustrates me as a fan of their work. I really liked Tango's games and Arkane's. I was also not happy with Roll7 closing. I love their games too. Rollerdrome and OlliOlli are excellent games. I just glad I have all these studios games in my collection physically or digitally.
 
Sweet Baby Inc is a nothing burger. It's a consulting group that is being propped up as a boogeyman for anyone who thinks contemporary gaming is 'woke' .
Exactly, they're just a popular public target by people who can't be bothered to do their research. What these people should be doing is looking at the consulting grifters who are destroying companies like Capcom and Atlus.
 
Both of those articles have a lot of speculation and little fact. But the Bloomberg article is at least interesting to hear a little more of the reasoning behind the studio closings. Everything else isn’t surprising to hear MS “considering”.

With the reasoning given in the Verge article, I wouldn't be surprised if Ninja Theory is dead in a year unless it wins a bunch of GOTYs. Their next game will take forever, it's not going to sell amazing, the founder quietly left, and they're not even really advertising Hellblade much.

I wonder if only Bethesda was being scrutinized though.
 
The first Hellblade wasn’t that great of a game. No way in hell…blade 2 saves MS. They really need Obsidian to step in with one of their in-development games or have Bethesda-proper reveal something out of left field (Or just *cough* remastered Fallout 3 *cough*).
 
The Netflix situation as a pricing model has been a publicly available 'case study' for several years. The billions spent does not lead directly to billions earned. Similar services have followed suit and raised prices in almost every similar situation. Disney+ is hemorrhaging money. Only the ones whom haven't "made it" yet are keeping their bargain bin pricing structure.

MS spent $8 bil. Then another $70 bil. Everyone who follows even fringe business / industry news knows what happens next.

Price increases.
(also corporate realignment, restructuring, and downsizing.)

What did you think you were going to get all these brand name AAA new releases for free, with no additional charges? There's an old phrase which says, "There are no free lunches". Microsoft took several multi billion dollar franchises and added them to existing subscriptions. In a juggling act, MS is also going to be limiting the way a couple of the most prominent pinnacle franchises can fully realize capitalization on other platforms. What do you think happens if and when something like say Elder Scrolls 6 is not able to capitalize through being released on PS5 and NSW2? Are people going to be surprised when at least some games from Bethesda and Activision-Blizzard have some level of paid premiums and exclusivity??
 
They can't raise the price too much, they will start bleeding subscribers.

I'm kinda hoping they get the service on PS/Switch Steam/PC handheld. I just want gamepass to continue being a thing but if it gets too expensive, Gamepass Core to play online will be enough for me.
 
I just hope they are making decisions about studios and games based on more than just retail sales. There's no way hi-fi rush cost a whole lot of money to develop, at least not compared to a lot of other games, so to have well reviewed games on Game Pass as content in the same way Netflix produces a lot of their own content now would just make a lot of sense. It would be interesting to know how many Game Pass subscribers started the game, beat it, 1000'd it, etc and if any of that is taken into consideration in terms of user engagement.
 
Out of everything among the industry leaks and news this week, the thing that surprised me the most was Hi-fi Rush landing onto Humble Choice. What were you thinking bros?? Like yeah, you failed to capitalize on this game release. But what was all that bluster about it being sold on other platforms last month? The only indie darling of the bunch that excited core gamers and could have moved copies. Yeah the marketing for this game failed but then you turn around and completely devalue the IP through giving it away with Choice.

I'm not sure how many other multiplat gamers there are like me out there, with a steady Humble Choice subscription to accrue a PC games library. But I know I'm not the only one, and I know this massively devalues the game in the eyes of any deals-oriented PC gamer and key trader. That's a game I would have bought a physical copy on PS5 but now I'm not going to buy one.

You take one of your noteworthy titles from Gamepass.....and then give it away for practically nothing on another Gamepass?? but with permanent ownership.

Yeah you gotta do better marketing for your game. But that isn't the way.
