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.

The update this week alphabetically sorted the car types in the filter.  I like that.

Spoiler

Saturday's daily is covered by the monthly rivals event on Bola Ocho.

Wednesday's daily is 3 clean racing skills in a Road race.  All championships would qualify.

Trial - Road - A800 Super Saloons - Used the 2013 Mercedes-Benz E 63 AMG (127 334 967).  Easy sweep.  Team won the first race 5-0.  Might've been 6-0, but one guy rammed me deliberately while trying to pass me while I was in 2nd.  I nudged him inside of the next checkpoint.  He dropped from 2nd to 10th before he left.  Someone else rammed me in the second race.  Passed him on a straight and got to 2nd.  He tried ram passing me a couple times, and did get ahead near the end, but I cut him on the inside on the final turn to take 2nd again.  When will people learn the Trial is co-op?  Ram the AI (I will on occasion, particularly if it will allow teammates to pass), but not the other people.

• Chihuahua Circuit
• Lookout Circuit

EventLab - A800 GT Cars - 3 laps, no drivatars.  Recreation of the High Speed Ring track from Gran Turismo.  Straightforward, little more than a minute per lap.  Game hung up for about a minute after the race before going to the post race results screen.  According to the Forza forums, I'm not the only one that experienced this.

Hotel Danger Sign - S2 998 Anything Goes - 508.5 feet (3 stars is 450) - Hit 675.11 with a 2020 Koenigsegg Jesko (171 356 165).  Started from the ramp, turned around and drove to the top of the first hill.  Hit the ramp at a bit over 140 mph.

Coast View Speed Trap - S2 998 Anything Goes - 220 mph (3 stars is 185) - Hit 225.86 with the same Jesko.  Started from the T intersection with the dirt road south of the trap.  Had to coast through some of the turns to stay on the road.  The Jesko also qualifies for Tuesday's daily of 12 stars from Speed Traps.

The Colossus - Road - S1 900 Super GT - No real problems with the 2017 Ferrari 812 Superfast (332 517 723).  Got into 1st at the 10% mark.  By 30%, had pulled ahead enough that the AI wasn't visible behind me in the mini-map.  Then some rubber banding AI around 50% and had a close tail until 70%.  Pulled away again, rubber banding at 90%, pulled away at 95%.

Road Endurance - Road - A800 Modern Muscle - No problems in the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat (589 050 516).  Yes, that's 5 races.  They mentioned in the monthly livestream that we'll we seeing some longer championships.

• Panorámica Sprint

• Llanuras Sprint

Track Toy Story - Road - S1 900 Track Toys - No problems with the 2013 KTM X-Bow R (863 707 170).  That's the weekly challenge car and the reward for this championship.  I used it to clear multiple challenges at once.

• Horizon Mexico Circuit

Grand Tourers - Road - A800 GT Cars - No problems with the 2012 Jaguar XKR-S (734 360 314).  Reward is the photo challenge car.  Car type applies to Monday's Ultimate Pass daily.

Win a Road Race with a Track Toy.  Got it after winning the first race in the Track Toy Story championship.  This appears to be bugged if you win a race in an EventLab.  You'll get the notice but the chest doesn't appear.  Devs are investigating.

It's just to the left of the southern entrance to the Apex Outpost.

AC odyssey to gamepass

I bought the Gold edition when it was on sale on the MS store a couple of months ago. You're welcome people.

Norco coming to Xbox GamePass seemingly confirmed.

Do we know if Ubisoft games are permanently on GP or will they be taken off/expire like most games?

Except for first party, I’d say it’s safe to assume that nothing is on GamePass permanently.

I ended up winning a Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 beta code off twitter after I had already purchased one on ebay

The code/giver-awayer looks legit so I'm pretty sure it's valid, but I don't have a way to test it since I already redeemed the code that I purchased.

Update: Winner picked. Congrats gunstar808

If anyone here wants to give it a try you can like my post and I'll randomly select a winner in a day or two.

You need to have or sign up for a Call of Duty Account, input the code, then choose a platform. Activision will email you with your platform specific code once the beta starts.

Open to anyone since it can be used for PS, Xbox, or PC.

Playstation users get early access starting tomorrow, but Xbox/PC has to wait until the 22nd.

For those that use Gameflip for trips to Argentina and Turkey.

I see the recent released City Connection games are on sales for $7.99 this week on the Xbox store (Gunbird 1 & 2, Strikers 1945 1, 2 and 3, Samurai Aces 1 & 3).

But yet the prices for these games from Argentina code sellers are even higher than the normal $9.99 full price. Is there any reason for that as was hoping to grab at cheaper prices that I have been used to seeing.

 

[SIX min WHISTLE]

Didn't seem like there were other Kodi users but just posting in case. I found that this is an official issue caused by the recent system update. Something messed up how Kodi and Xbox sync up so it's way unoptimized.

As of yesterday the devs said they don't have anyone to work on it currently. Mine is still working for the most part but scanning in new files is really slow and crashes frequently. I'm not using any of the sketchy apps though, only local files off an HDD.

If you have a working build it sounds like you should not delete it and hope it gets fixed eventually.

Some companies simply just charge more for their games so they don't see any regional losses

You can use https://www.xbox-now.com/en/game-comparison to see what the games cost in each region.

For those particular games, the regional prices in Turkey and Argentina are jacked up so that they roughly match what the USD price would be. After taxes and fees, there's no money to be made for the sellers, which was the goal of the publisher.

I'm holding out for a 50% off sale.

Gabbed Project Cars 2 Deluxe Edition from the sale before it's de-listed next week. Essentially $8.99 to add all the DLC and change it from a "Games with Gold" to "Owned"

Be sure to nab the Japanese Cars Bonus Pack as well. It’s sold separately.

Thinking of buying an Xbox Series X. It costs $749 here in Australia or I can trade my Xbox One X at EB Games for $499.

Anybody that has WWE 2K22 and an Xbox Series X, how are the loading times?

Also, do games that are not enhanced get much of a boost in performance and loading?

Won't speak to performance, but previous-gen games will nearly all get a boost in load times. You'll probably see the most noticeable effect on games with longer loads previously. Shorter loads may still be faster but not as noticeably since there's less to shave.

I was getting near-instant loads from Diablo III,and I'm pretty sure that is not an "optimized" game.

Most stuff loads quite a bit faster than a One X does, but it varies game to game and it's not usually the near instant load for One games if they aren't optimized, OG and 360 are that fast though.

Performance-wise all past gen games tend to have any FPS issues smoothed out, and also get whatever 16x texture filtering by default. For example DOA6 can run its 4K mode on Series X at full 60 FPS and it runs at like 40 on One X. Of course there is the list of games with both resolution enhancements and/or FPS boost. If you want specifics on whatever games try searching YouTube for "______ performance Series X", as there are a few channels besides Digital Foundry that have analysis out there.

Can't speak on WWE.

I’m excited about more of the Japanese games coming to Xbox. JRPGs have always been hit or miss for me but I’ve always at least tried to give them a chance. Ni No Kuni looks promising and I have tried off and on to get into the first Danganronpa lately. Persona 5 Royal popped up for pre-install and I’m super excited about it. I stopped my PS4 play through once it was announced.

I managed to finish The Artful Escape this morning, but some of the late story achievements didn't pop.  I saw on TA that could happen, and a restart could fix it.  Didn't want to restart it in case the Game Pass license had been revoked, but after the credits, the game went back to the start screen but was unresponsive.  Going to the home screen and back to the game didn't do anything.  Since the game tile was still marked with Game Pass, I tried to quit out, but it wouldn't start.  Was still able to download it to my laptop, but wouldn't start there, either, and it was removed from the cloud gaming.  Guess they don't update the Game Pass status everywhere at once.  Also not sure if I would've been able to do anything this morning if I hadn't had the game in Quick Resume since yesterday.  So I guess I'll wait for a good sale or GwG to get those story achievements to pop, plus a couple others I missed.

Game was a trip.  Story was eh, a bit surprised at some of the voice talent they got for it (not necessarily big names, but recognizable), visuals were the real attraction.

I'm sorry I didn't get to start it, it sounds like everyone has universally good things to say about it. I had to crack down and finish Lost Words, started that game a while ago but man it was hard to get through - my wife lost her grandma about a year ago (who basically raised her) and so I couldn't really play it around her, the diary sections hit too close to home. Fun little platformer though. Hopefully Artful gets good discounts now it's off Game Pass and I can try it.

I had an achievement issue as well. I had one that did not pop like 75% through the game but the ones after popped no problem. The glitched one randomly popped later but I forget if I was still in game or not. Hope they work out for you.

I also figure being the resident forza expert you may have insight into a possible delisting of horizon 4. Should I be concerned about picking it up currently being on sale or are we likely to get a warning/sale before delisting?

I played the first two stages of Metal Hellsinger last night and had a great time. The only issue I had was trying to run the game in resolution mode, the frame rate took a huge hit, so I went to performance mode and everything was perfect. It is basically a rhythm Doom game. It is so fun and satisfying to kill the hordes to the beat of the music. Even more when you get a high combo going and the full song starts playing.

It would fit the 4 year pattern for FH4 to be delisted soon, but it doesn't look like it's going to happen. Someone from Playground Games posted to the Forza subreddit a few months ago that they're not planning to delist it "anytime soon".

https://www.reddit.com/r/ForzaHorizon/comments/vecp0g/comment/id5tg2b/

After they took a lot of heat for quietly delisting a couple early 360 Motorsport games, they've been pretty good about giving a head's up about upcoming delistings. FH4 was also the first Forza game to launch on Game Pass, which might've prompted them to change their licensing terms. If you don't remember, FM7 was also on Game Pass at the time it was delisted, and instead of making it GwG like FH1/2 and FM5/6, they gave out tokens for the game to everyone that bought a DLC. They also gave 2 months' notice before FM7's delisting and had a 75% discount.

So I think FH4 is safe for now.

Heard so much about White Day: A labyrinth named School. 5 star review on Xbox marketplace. Fanbase is insanely rabid about it and it looks great. I think I'm halfway through and I just want to quit. The ideas in this game are great but the actual gameplay feels like a low budget PC release from the 90s. 

Like half this game is waiting around for the janitor to go away since you can't kill or hurt him and he frequently camps the area you are in while his AI scripts gets stuck. I'm currently going through a very annoying 'boss fight puzzle' that is 100x more difficult than it should be because the game decides if it wants to pick up an item and how fast it picks it up.

Suikoden is definitely a great get! I’ve always heard suikoden 2 was one of the best games ever, but it was always big bucks on eBay.

It sounds like you're under the impression that it's coming to Game Pass - it's not. But with its spiritual successor headed there, Suikoden may be added one day too.

I'm sorry I didn't get to start it, it sounds like everyone has universally good things to say about it. I had to crack down and finish Lost Words, started that game a while ago but man it was hard to get through - my wife lost her grandma about a year ago (who basically raised her) and so I couldn't really play it around her, the diary sections hit too close to home. Fun little platformer though. Hopefully Artful gets good discounts now it's off Game Pass and I can try it.

It's also on PS+ too if you have that. I already started on Game Pass, so I'd have to replay the first few hours, but at least I can finish it at my own leisurely pace. I don't like to rush to finish a game just because it's leaving a service, which usually leads to the game not being enjoyable.

I’m probably the only one affected by this but EA is killing online for Dirt Rally and Dirt 4 Oct 3 and taking them off game pass/ea access. I think these are the first games killed since EA acquired Codemasters.

The list never drops on the first day unfortunately. Likely contenders would include: Crown Trick, Breathedge, Superliminal, Sable, Dandy Ace, Scarlet Nexus, Astria Ascending and AI: Somnium files. Plus some people think Avengers is leaving this month. Just dropped a new character and another one is coming this month so it's a good time to get people to buy when it leaves gamepass. Plus its been a year.

Project Cars 1 and 2 are definitely sim racers meant to be played with wheels. PC3, a bit more arcadey

I can not explain why my kid and I spent almost a full day last weekend playing that disney licenced grindfest, passing the controller back and forth. Nor can I explain why I'd like to do it some more. The whole time we were discussing ways in which the game is bad and could easily be improved and also how much better stardew valley is. And yet, even with so many better games on this and other consoles, we both played it for nearly a full day...

Disney Magic, I guess? lolz
