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 ...

Game Pass potential departure dates​

Last updated - 2024-05-21

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.

anyone try the app yet?

So I finally started The Witcher on Netflix, and I think I’ve watched the “Toss a coin to your Witcher” song a dozen times already.

Rainway is great. I've been watching their Twitter for over a year waiting for this beta to come out. Well worth it. I only wish I could find a way to get to the Steam Overlay so I can access controller options for games without native Xinput support. Latency wise, it feels like 1:1 with my computer side-by-side, only with some picture grain which isn't too distracting.

EDIT: And I just figured out how to get to the overlay. Sweet.

So I finally started The Witcher on Netflix, and I think I’ve watched the “Toss a coin to your Witcher” song a dozen times already.

That tune had no right being as catchy as it was. I enjoyed the first season and hope they fix the issues it had going forward now that it's been deemed a hit.

 

[Blade]

The Witcher books and video games are great, but the show was mediocre. The directing wasn't that good. It was more like that Shannara show on MTV than Game of Thrones with how sporadic it was. And I think GoT ending is half the reason why it did so well. People want to fill the void.

Well so far this month and this decade I've beaten Yakuza 0, Titanfall 2 and My Name is Pedro. Excited to pretend like I'm on a good pace and immediately fall off it and won't beat another game until like April or something.

 

[Zantra]

Isn't that Fable game already on Game Pass? I'd rather that they give us Gold games that aren't on Game Pass. Speaking of Netflix, if you are a Bojack Horseman fan, the last eight episodes of the series are now on there.

Edit: My bad, it isn't tonight that they are getting released at midnight PST, it's tomorrow night. I got the date wrong. My bad.

Bardock, you're doing better than me. I beat Castlevania Adventure.

Via Castlevania Collection on Xbox One. I finally got through those awful jumps and those moving spikes and beat it for the first time.

That is all.

Holy crap, I don't know what's gotten into me but I've been on a gaming rampage this month. I actually worked on my backlog. So far in January I've beaten and got 100% achievements in:

The Walking Dead Season2 (360)

Disney Classic Games: Aladdin & Lion King

The Walking Dead: The Definitive Series

The Walking Dead: Michonne

Tales from the Borderlands

Batman: The Telltale Series

Batman the Evil Within

Vanishing of Ethan Carter

Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons

I beat Marvel vs Capcom 2, but need to beat it 3 more times to finish the achievements

But then I also went back and finished off 100% of the achievements for Age of Booty, A World of Keflings, and Fable III

 

[p0rn0saur]

I've beaten and actually got the full 100%, Still in GTASC on True Achievements, on Children of Morta and Lonely Mountains Downhill so far this year. I can see some of the complaints about Morta maybe being a little grindy towards the 3/4ths section. I took down the last 3 bosses first try though so some weird balance. Really liked that one, fantastic gamepass game. Lonely Mountain reminds me quite a bit of Supermarket Shriek oddly. It needs some skill for sure but it's more about remembering the tracks and what's coming next, but yeah I think my "Run" counter on one of the mountains in night mode was over 250 times so I probably need some help.

Rainway is great. I've been watching their Twitter for over a year waiting for this beta to come out. Well worth it. I only wish I could find a way to get to the Steam Overlay so I can access controller options for games without native Xinput support. Latency wise, it feels like 1:1 with my computer side-by-side, only with some picture grain which isn't too distracting.

EDIT: And I just figured out how to get to the overlay. Sweet.

Assuming all your gear is hardwired rather than wireless?

After having been out on G2A for FIFA, and CDKeys for those GPU deals... they now show up on my facebook feeds as ads.  Went to CDKeys minutes ago to confirm the $19.79 price, and there is a note (I think new) saying "This is only for new Xbox accounts.  You cannot use this with existing accounts."  I assume if folks here had a problem with this, they'd have brought it up.  Maybe this is new?

 

[bardockkun]

I Feel that if I were to try and play any Castlevania game pre-PS1 that it'd take me over a month to beat on the basis that I just don't have that skill and patience anymore. When I focus on one specific game with little in terms of progress I feel slightly frustrated knowing that I got a backlog (and Gamepass games) waiting on me and I kinda need that immediate satisfaction now. The weird sad, but true feeling and curse of having so much variety.

With that being said, I'll buy Castlevania Collection when it's $7.

 

[gamegirlpocket]

The first Castlevania game is a really important piece of gaming history, it's the blueprint for all other games. Enemies, setting, music. It's all there. But it's got some really poor design choices (enemy placement, physics, environmental objects that look like part of the background) that it's really not a good game. The GB games take all those complaints and put them on steroids.

I can still enjoy the original Mega Man even with all of its rough edges, but Castlevania 1 is not fun.

What is fun though is watching Bit Brigade do a live speedrun on it:

I saw them do it on tour and it was insane.

There are tons of GPU deals that are for new accounts only... usually only the introductory ones like $1. So know that's nothing new. Don't know what you're getting for $19.79.

As far as the Castlevania collection and people being worried about a play through on any of them, got to love them save states. Even if you don't totally exploit them, just nice to have in pocket for that run where the Grim Reaper is just not cooperating.

Save states got me all the way through the first game which is something I couldn't even do when I was young and had better reflexes. Even got deep into Castlevania 3. They are still hard games but the music, level and enemy designs really make them worth playing.

If you are already an Ultimate member, then you want the 3 month regular GP code there. It sells for 10.59 there right now and converts to 2 months of ultimate. You can buy 2 codes at a time in one purchase.

Works out to about $60 a year. Sometimes less as I got them for $9 and change earlier this month from them.

PS+ has good selection next month, compared to GWG, but even than I don't ever stress that or XBox sales anymore (outside of goddamn DLC, looking at you Namco season passes) because of Game Pass.

IDK, At this point haven't most people who wanted to play BioShock have already done so? I got stuck in the first game fairly early on and never went back. I did finish Infinite. Don't think I have ever fired up 2. It will go in my back log likely never to be played. Just something about it never caught on with me. I know it is extremely popular trio of games. Just doesn't seem to interest me very much for some reason. And shooters is the genre I play most by far.

I even bought the collection on disc at least once but ended up trading it back in.

10 years ago on PS3 for BioShock and 6 years years ago for Infinite on XBox One.

 

[Navigator2001Plus]

How did you get stuck in the first BioShock? I felt like the Vita-Chambers made that game insanely easy.

 

[BobbyTastic]

Agreed with Plus being better next month than GWG, even with Call of Cthulhu being a standout. However, this month's GWG was close in quality to Plus' imo, and GWG got better games in December.

Bioshock Collection alone is three (bare minimum) very solid shooters with the original taking advantage of the new horsepower to make it the definitive way to play. Plus that collection has retained it's value very well with it coming out in 2016 and only just last year finally starting to go on sale for around $15. So yeah, I'd say that's a better deal alone than the February GWG offerings.

 

[Zipomatic2]

I have Red Dead Redemption 2, should I play RDR 1 before playing 2?

And if I should, does it ever go on sale digitally? (I own a digital XBox so I can't buy the disc version)

 

[gamegirlpocket]

Save states got me all the way through the first game which is something I couldn't even do when I was young and had better reflexes. Even got deep into Castlevania 3. They are still hard games but the music, level and enemy designs really make them worth playing.

Definitely playable with save states and entertaining, but still requires patience. The original Japanese release had a save system between levels, so you didn't have to start from the very beginning if you died, so the NA release was way harder by default.

 

[Jodou]

I've beaten and actually got the full 100%, Still in GTASC on True Achievements, on Children of Morta and Lonely Mountains Downhill so far this year.

It needs some skill for sure but it's more about remembering the tracks and what's coming next, but yeah I think my "Run" counter on one of the mountains in night mode was over 250 times so I probably need some help.

Yeah we just beat Morta last night and it's odd how the last two dungeons start to rain exp and gold with the difficulty on a downswing. Game starts off tough but fair, then spikes hard and falls off once you're over that hump. You have to spend too much time grinding in the middle where it's difficult to get to massive bump in gold/exp that by then you don't really need it anymore. Balance is just off and they should have swapped the 2nd dungeons with the 3rd IMO.

And I tried using John again towards the end when fatigue needed to be reset: yeah, he still sucked. Mark ended up just smoking everything with zero downtime and I even stopped looking at my HP anymore. For anyone who plays this, max out evasion when you can and use Mark. GG.

 

[bardockkun]

I have Red Dead Redemption 2, should I play RDR 1 before playing 2?

And if I should, does it ever go on sale digitally? (I own a digital XBox so I can't buy the disc version)

RDR2 is still sitting in my backlog, but I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt that RDR1 is totally worth playing. That and the Undead Nightmare DLC are fantastic.

 

[RiPPn]

[Navigator2001Plus]

Plus that collection has retained it's value very well with it coming out in 2016 and only just last year finally starting to go on sale for around $15.

But it hasn't retained its value very well. Like you said, it's been as cheap as $15, and it goes on sale for that little a lot. Before that, it went on sale a lot for under $20, and it only took just over a year for it to go that cheap. You can get the disc right now for $20 or less easily. This part of your argument doesn't work.

As for the more subjective aspects of your argument, I'll gladly take a more recent game like Call of Cthulhu that I don't own over a remastered collection of three previous gen games that I've already played on last gen hardware.

 

[p0rn0saur]

Played through Red Dead 1 the summer before 2 came out and it was well worth it. Probably helped playing on the X that it basically looked like a title from this generation, but the art style will still be there even on the Xbox One S I'm sure. I think story wise it makes part 2 more interesting for sure. 

 

[jimbo8574]

How did you get stuck in the first BioShock? I felt like the Vita-Chambers made that game insanely easy.

Spoiler

It was going on about finding something in the doctors office or something. I looked everywhere. I even looked online for help. Maybe it was glitched or something. Decided I rather play something else then to start over.

Guess I am just not into the steampunk environment. Enjoyed my time with Infinite but wasn't bowled over by it.

I agree PS+ offering is better for Feb. I just wonder how many people haven't played Bioshock yet that actually want to. They are all last gen games just remastered.

I wanted to give it another try. Bought the collection at least once. Just never could motivate myself to play them. Doubt it will be any different now that I get them for free.

I Think any game in this day and age that doesn't go under $15 in two years or less is impressive, but then again 2K holds onto those purse strings very tightly compared to other companies.

Also HOW DARE YOU HAVE A DIFFERENT OPINION THAN ME? YOU ARE WRONG! WRONG! I HAVE NO WAY TO CHANGE YOUR OPINION SO I'LL JUST CALL YOU WRONG! Though personally I also have bias because I enjoyed those games and since last year I've been wanting to revisit them, but can't make the time because trying to play all the un played hotness and Game Pass.

 

[RaidenMGS3]

BioShock is one of those series that should only be played once, because multiple playthrough really start to show the cracks in the story and logic. And I say this as a person with a Little Sister tattoo.

For me, the only company I really think of when it comes to games retaining their value is Nintendo, aside from situations where a game is rare/old/OOP/etc. It's impressive that games years and years old being on sale for $40 is a big deal.

I haven't played Bioshock since it's original release, I'm long overdue to revisit this series.

Yeah, I suppose you're right. I mean initially it's all "this is the best game ever!" (With the exception of BioShock 2 which DOES hold but is just dull AF) but when you start digesting it, you're all... "Hey, waitamimute! None of that made sense!".

So basically the BioShock series is like a Disney Star Wars movie.

 

[gamegirlpocket]

How did you get stuck in the first BioShock? I felt like the Vita-Chambers made that game insanely easy.

Bioshock is wayyy more coherent than the new trilogy. I was on board for VII and VIII but goddamnit did I hate TRoS.

Your favorite band that broke up 30 years ago has reunited and is recording new material.

The first album: plays it safe and sounds a little too much like the debut album but it's good (Force Awakens is basically Weezer's Green album).

The second album: heyyy they got their old rhythm back and are now unleashing 30 years of pent-up creative energy, this is different than what I'm used to or expected but its rad as hell (The Last Jedi is AFI's Sing the Sorrow, or the Cure's Bloodflowers, take your pick).

The third album: I was expecting a new record but instead this is just... a greatest hits album full of songs I've already heard with one new song that was made from an old demo which never made it onto an album? (Rise of Skywalker = Beatles 1 compilation).

 

[Monsta Mack]

PS+ may have beat GWG, but Game Pass be like:

Gwg is going to be lower effort because funds are poured into gamepass. Surprised to see call of Cthulhu for gwg game must be selling horribly on Xbox. I'd like to see better efforts on the 360 side considering then 360 has been dead for over seven years but it is what it is.

Speaking of GwG and the new console coming out I wonder what the transition will be like. We didn't get any X1 games on GwG until 5 or 6 months after console launch. Wonder how it will work out generation wise. I imagine the most likely scenario being we just lose the 360 games but could maybe see them doing just 2 previous generation games and 2 series x games similar to how we sometimes get OG xbox and 360 games now.

I wouldn't mind them continuing to give me and games until they run out of games that are BC.

 

[Touch3]

Here's my guess, for posterity's sake:

I'm guessing at Series X launch we won't see any Games with Gold for it.  We'll see Xbone games marketed as "play this on your SX, too!"

6-8 months later, it will transition to 1 XSX game, 2 X1 games, and 1 360 game.

Then (unless 360 BC makes a return) a year after that they'll change it to 2 XSX games and 2 X1 games.

 

[BobbyTastic]

They might end GWG altogether and just stick to Game Pass/GPU and tell people to deal if they want online/access to their previous GWGs.
PS Plus is certainly getting there.

I know all games are a "rental" like games, meaning you need to have an active sub to play them. Are and games the same way or are they like games in that once you buy them you own them 4lyfe?
