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.

All these reasons are so edge case I was thinking their was some serious reason why to do it. The OP was making it seem like it was a must do and if the main reason is someday someone might want to play that game on a 360 instead of an actual modern console I'm good.

Controller options such as arcade sticks or driving wheels, playing games prepatch, fixing broken achievements, system linking multiple copies of the same game for a LAN party, boosting achievements in the same game, not being tied to a cloud save, playing games offline, 360 specific glitches, webcam/kinect support, some games when played online together such as Halo 3 will disconnect midcampaign unless all players are on the same type of platform.

 

[Sielanas]

I was going to say there's no way I'll have a 360 again, then I remembered I'm now a homeowner and I can safely play NBA Baller Beats.

To anyone on the fence about buying games for future upgrades (Fallen Order, Metro Exodus) and you're waiting for the upgrades, things only get cheaper over time. Waiting for update means you clearly don't need it now, it will go on sale again and you know it.

I thought Zombie Shooter 4 is supposed to be FPS boost but it's greyed out for me. I'm able to turn it on for Battlefront 2 and Titanfall 2.

I think the only case that might matter would be related to redeeming Xbox 360 GWG games on the XBox One store and your gold subscription expires. No one knows if you lose the license like you do for other GWG on XBox One. On the 360 marketplace GWG are owned even if gold expires. I think that is why most of us redeem 360 GWG on the 360 marketplace.

 

[captbrannigan]

Controller options such as arcade sticks or driving wheels, playing games prepatch, fixing broken achievements, system linking multiple copies of the same game for a LAN party, boosting achievements in the same game, not being tied to a cloud save, playing games offline, 360 specific glitches, webcam/kinect support, some games when played online together such as Halo 3 will disconnect midcampaign unless all players are on the same type of platform.

Edge cases. Serious reasons only!


Also, I must be drunk because I don't own AC Valhalla at all. Oh well. I was never going to convince my brother the XSX is good anyways. He insisted ps4 versions of games were better than X1X versions even when shown side by side comparisons and currently thinks the Nintendo Switch has the best graphics this gen.

 

[dum1038]

I've seen this mentioned before. Why would you need both versions? I assume the X1 version is backwards compatible with the Series S/X also correct?

I still boot up the 360 and download games from there sometimes. Owning the game across all my Xbox consoles is awesome. There's my 360 in the basement, there's the Series X in my room.

 

[dum1038]

I REALLY had trouble in finding an answer to this, as it seemed nobody knew if buying a 360 game from the X1 marketplace registered on the 360 marketplace.

What I do know is that I did purchase Midnight Club: LA from the X1 webpage store yesterday, and then went to the 360 webpage which said I owned already owned it, meaning it registered on both system webpage stores even from buying it off the X1 store. They might have trouble with redeeming GwGs, but purchases should go through on both stores if you buy off the X1 webpage/console.

Here's what I have established from experience so far.

Purchasing an X360 BC game on the Xbox Store = you get both the 360 and One version of the game

Purchasing an X360 BC game on the Xbox Marketplace = you get both the 360 and One version of the game

Purchasing an OG Xbox BC game on the Xbox Store = you only get the One version of the game

Purchasing an OG Xbox BC game on the Xbox Marketplace = you get both the 360 and One version of the game

Hope this helps.

Is the Xbox store the website and the Xbox Marketplace via the console? Great info, I’m just late to the lingo.

 

[Ryuukishi]

Is the Xbox store the website and the Xbox Marketplace via the console? Great info, I’m just late to the lingo.

They're both websites:

https://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/ - old Xbox 360 store

https://www.xbox.com/en-US/microsoft-store - new XB1/Series/BC store

I thought this was all moot because someone tested and the license issues with buying OG and 360 content on the new store had all been resolved. (But I'm still buying old stuff on the old store just to be safe.)

Learned this the hard way last time when I purchased Sphinx And The Cursed Mummy on the Xbox store. When I checked my Xbox 360, it wasn't showing on my download history. Contacted Microsoft to get a refund, which they did, and rebought it using Xbox markeplace - problem solved.

Does anyone know if the new Resident Evil Village demo spoils the ending of VII? I believe I'm a little over halfway through VII, but I just started downloading the demo to check it out. I won't have much time to beat it this weekend/week as my wife wants to watch me play through the rest of it.

 

[gothamcentral79]

If you have the option to also have the 360 BC version for the same price, even if you're not going to play it, why not?

Because there is no time that I'm ever going to own a 360 again. I've moved on to the current console so if I'm going to play it then it's going to be on that one.

Thank you this is a reason that makes sense for than just 1% of the gaming public.

I'm not sure if CAG is for you if you aren't looking for the weirdo 1% of the gaming public. I don't think our gaming habits are particularly representative of the gaming public as a whole.

A lot of us still have 360s hooked up so it’s useful information, obviously if you don’t have a 360 anymore then it’s a mute point and you can just scroll past. We get it, you don’t have a 360 anymore so it doesn’t matter to you personally. For some of us, I make sure to buy things in a way that they load on my 360.

My kids still love to play 360 Kinect.

 

[josekortez]

Monster Truck Championship and Override 2: Super Mech League are this weekend's Free Play Days games (Games With Gold or Game Pass Ultimate required).

I downloaded Monster Truck Championship, and it is a surprisingly decent racing game.  The monster truck physics are pretty accurate, and I've already unlocked two achievements in less than an hour of game play.  I wouldn't buy it, but it's not bad to play for a few days.

To clarify I didn't say it wasn't useful information. Obviously you guys are using it and that's great. The OP made it seem like what ever you do make sure you download games through the 360 like it was something more serious then just that you can play the games on a 360 also. I asked for reasons why and now I know so thanks everyone who responded.

 

[SIX min WHISTLE]

Thank you this is a reason that makes sense for than just 1% of the gaming public.

If you aren't in the use case, fine. Move on and don't care, not everyone does. Other people do have reasons to want their old consoles working as well and as long as possible.

Maybe look at the giant shitstorm Sony just stirred up by announcing the death of their older stores, or the on going "c-bomb" situation that affects the PS3, 4, and 5.

In the case of the 360, the obvious benefit of keeping around are the peripherals already mentioned, as well the hundred of non-BC games. While this case is the other way around, it's good to understand how the console licensing set up works.

 

[entexman]

i still have Xbox 360's connected to a few of my tvs. I have a bunch of games that are still not backwards compatible and I doubt many of these games ever will be. Granted I rarely play games on my 360. I am ready to go just in case

 

[jrc84]

Is Jedi Academy worth $5? Never played it or much of the series but my understanding is that this one is it's own story. I'd like to play them all on PC but you know...backlog...

Neither RE8 demo spoils the story of Resident Evil VII. The Village demo is more RE4 action based gameplay and has more cutscenes, the Castle Demo is creepier and gives original RE mansion vibes.

However, there is one obvious spoiler from the trailers that can't be avoided:

Spoiler

The spoiler that Ethan and Mia presumably survived the events of Resident Evil 7

Now they’re saying it’s going to be 70 FPS boost games next week. Maybe Monday?

I haven’t played it in a few years but I enjoyed all the Jedi Lucasarts games. Outcast and Academy were great. If you are a Star Wars fan then I’d definitely say it’s worth it.

Imagine if EA would let everyone play the entire first Mass Effect of the remaster via EA Play instead of the usual 10 hour trial. They've locked some trials for games with shorter campaigns to only a few levels so it's not entirely out of the question. Of course those games had multiplayer to pad out the rest of the 10 hours.

 

[Razzel]

Unpopular opinion probably but not overly impressed with the RE8 demo.

 

[Freeze Time]

All these FPS boosts are only in 1080p correct? There are no 4k/120 games correct? So we basically have to choose between 4k/60 or 1080p/120?

Just watched the new Mortal Kombat movie and the greatest compliment I can give it is similar to the video games, it had characters I didn't give a shit about that I just wanted to see get brutally maimed.

Japanese shmups rarely experience price drops on Xbox, but the shmup Natsuki Chronicles appears to have had a permanent price drop from $42.49 to $22.99.  It doesn't look like it's a sale since there's no apparent end date, and its price has never been reduced before.

I actually enjoyed the movie. I liked Scorpion and Jax, the other characters were tough to root for though, how did they make Sonya so unlikable? Kano was a lot of fun and Sub Zero was ruthless.

Funny how he was more a boss than Goro.

That actually looks promising. I see it’s $19.99 (not a sale) on PSN. Odd that XBL is $3 more.

Why surprised? Not like it's a 1st party title?

A quick look at an achievement guide shows Alan Wake has quite a few missable achievements. Probably why I'm only 615/1500 lolll. Might be time to revisit this game.

 

[DGenerateKane]

I haven't played a Halo MP match since Halo Reach was in Beta 12 years ago. It took me two matches of Big Team Super Fiesta Party under Social last night. I did it in one match of normal Super Fiesta Party on another account today. You spawn with random weapons, and I didn't know how the vast majority of them worked since I haven't played the campaign yet but I still managed. I guess if you really suck at MP games, you'll struggle.
