• 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 ...

Game Pass potential departure dates​

Last updated - 2024-05-16

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.

I think I would be more interested in just about any publisher being bought over the current deal. Blizzard past their prime and a lot of alright studios that have been stuck on CoD for years. Best case scenario maybe some of the old series get some non-cash-grab new games.

 

[bee01]

I don't need to be convinced that the CMA made a whack decision.  Microsoft has to fight this because the CMA has defined a market that makes any further acquisitions impossible (and the $3 billion penalty).

Here's Kotick on CNBC today, saying they think they can win an appeal with CAT due to CMA being irrational:

I also don't care that much about Activision Blizzard, but it's the type of acquisition that had the potential to bring a lot more people into the Xbox ecosystem.  Candy Crush and Call of Duty would have provided a massive boost to Microsoft's gaming revenue.  Blizzard may be past their prime, but Diablo 4 is most likely going to be a huge hit (Diablo 3 sold over 30 million copies).

[confoosious]

Is there any benefit at all to having an external SSD on the series x vs a HDD? I mostly play games from the internal drive. Hell can I even play from an external or do I have to move it to the internal? I just haven’t tried because I’m assume it’ll be too slow.

The SSD will be faster over a non-SSD drive. On my Series X, I have the 1 TB internal, 1 TB expansion card, 1 TB SSD and 4 TB HDD. The latter 2 migrated from my XB1 X (and the original XB1 before that). Series games are played off the internal and expansion card and non-Series off the SSD. 4 TB is for long term storage for things I'm not currently playing but big enough that I might not want to wait to redownload (including some Series games).

There have been times I've started games off the 4 TB and the loading is noticeably slower. Probably didn't mind it back when I used it regularly, but it's like when the 360 started allowing you to install game discs to the HDD. Once you get used to it, it can be hard to go back. I have run some non-Series games off the internal, but haven't really noticed a difference like between the SSD and HDD.

 

[confoosious]

Thanks. There is a 1TB SSD for like $35 and I’m tempted.

So basically you are recommending keeping Xbox 360 and Xbox one games on the external SSD. And series x games on the internal.

 

[Bloomy]

That's what's worked fine for me.  Wouldn't hurt to try some 360 and XB1 games on the internal to see if you notice any difference, but I don't.

 

[Bryson]

Thanks. There is a 1TB SSD for like $35 and I’m tempted.

So basically you are recommending keeping Xbox 360 and Xbox one games on the external SSD. And series x games on the internal.

Yes. You can also move some Series games over to the external if you need to clear up some space in a pinch and then move it back over to internal when you want to play it. I have a 2TB external drive. 1TB standard internal normally wouldn't be enough for me but with 2TB external swapping out least played gamesit's fine for now.

 

[Bloomy]

Word of warning about swapping Series games out to an external - if the game receives an update, the console will attempt to redownload the full game back onto the internal, or expansion card if that's installed.  It can't / won't just apply the update to the external.  If you have space on a Series capable drive, you'll end up with 2 copies of the game, and no way to filter the game list to find multiple installs.

 

[ChefMason]

Welp finally pulling the trigger on Nier automata become as a god edition. Hope it's as good as everyone makes it out to be.
How is Nier Replicant, just as good?

 

[deszaras]

I’ve put LEGO DC Villians on my Series X internal drive and it helped with load times. I’m sure it varies with each game but if you’ve got an Xbox One games that’s got horrible load times, it might be worth seeing if it’s better on the internal.

 

[braiiins]

I wanted to beat bugsnax before it leaves famepass but don't see that happening in 4 days. Started it a couple months ago but got distracted by other games after a couple of hours. Will hope for a 50%+ sale.

Decided I'm picking up a physical copy of the first bad company over digital. Not sure why I never picked it up on sale, I have the other two being delisted.

 

[Bryson]

Welp finally pulling the trigger on Nier automata become as a god edition. Hope it's as good as everyone makes it out to be.

Nier Automata is the better of the two games but both are great games. Nier Automata is my 2nd favorite/best game from last generation. Keep in mind that both games require multiple playthroughs in order to get the True/best ending. Have fun!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7y-Fy1Q2O2k

TL;DW External SATA SSD would be the best bang for your buck as the load speeds are very close to internal storage so put your non-Series optimized games there

I like the characters of Nier Replicant slightly more than Automata, and an argument could be made for it having the better soundtrack. They improved the combat with this remake, but Automata is still pretty far ahead in that department.

If someone only has the money to buy 1 I would probably still say Automata, but Replicant is a fantastic game with a lot of quirks.

Kainé best girl

 

[Z-Saber]

Replicant might have the better story, music is debatable and could go either way, but the gameplay (though definitely updated to be better) still falls behind Automata. Replicant is also way more annoying to play through multiple times and get the final ending compared to the way they handle it in Automata.

 

[adam31]

Behavioral remedies? But Microsoft did exactly everything that CMA asked of them. CMA claimed this was about Call of Duty so MS offered an unprecedented 10-year deal for COD to anyone that asked for it. When MS made the CMA look like fools they pivot their argument at the last second to block the deal based on Cloud market concerns? Now Boosteroid and NVidia have released statements coming out in full support of MS/ABK merger, both are no longer getting Call of Duty and Activision games thereby weakening their Cloud service. Instead of increasing competition, CMA have killed the Cloud market. Now what!?

In their 420 page report, they claim that MS has not sufficiently proven that they can get Call of Duty working on the Switch. WTF!? Since when did CMA become developers? Then why would Nintendo agree to a 10 year deal then? Firstly MS doesn't even own Activision yet, secondly they got DOOM Eternal running on the Switch, thirdly, MS never said that they would bring COD to the Switch. Nintendo's next console (Switch 2) should be right around the corner. This sounds like the CMA is just grasping at straws here throwing shit at the wall and seeing what sticks.

Blocking $69 billion ABK deal over a small non existent Cloud market sets a bad precedent. It basically means the CMA can block a deal for any reason they make up not based on reality. What's stopping the CMA from blocking MS from acquiring Sega and Angry Birds? You think those P0nies are going to want to lose their beloved Persona and Yakuza games?

Yes it's true that if the Competition Appeal Tribunal sides with MS and the appeal succeeds, it goes back to the CMA but they are no longer allowed to use the same argument against the merger. They'd have to find a new argument to cock block the merger and their original argument is already weak as it is.

Why would MS be responsible for getting COD working on a Switch? Why would someone be forced to get a A1 game up to par on an underpowered console? [emoji38]

No shock that I ended up grabbing Jedi Survivor and it’s excellent so far. Platforming has been improved with some new moves, combat feels more fluid, maps are improved and it looks gorgeous.

Performance still need some work with some hiccups here and there. But overall just bigger and better and loving it.

Would anyone happen to know if I would be missing out on anything substantial playing the Xbox One version of Callisto Protocol on Series X?  Can get X1 version for $15 at Gamestop with my monthly coupon vs $25 for Series X.  Heard the game wasn't great, but for $15 I'm willing to give it a go.

Also, have another Screen Pass available to trade.  PM me if interested

I remember the DF video of it when it came out on launch and that the One version was just problems across the board in terms of technical stuff. Like massive slow down and it just not looking good. So really if you're willing to deal with a 20-30fps game instead of waiting for the Series version to go down, go for it.

 

[xSILENTxHUNTERx]

Hmmm.. I get updates on series X/S games all the time while they are on my external drive, My Series X never tries to reinstall the entire game, I wonder why?

Is it ever the case that a Xbox One version of a game will play better on Series S/X? I'm thinking of non-Smart Delivery titles, so you'd be playing the X1 version on SX for example.

 

[JohnnyCage]

I normally hate JRPGs and even I liked Nier Automata. That game is a steal at $20.

If by "play better" you mean more stable and/or higher framerates, I don't think that will ever be the case 99.9% of the time.

If a game does not have Smart Delivery, there's a good chance the last gen version is going to be capped at 30 FPS while the current gen version is probably going to have 60/120FPS. Even then I don't have faith the X1 version can maintain a locked 30; the CPU is just too underpowered.

More I play Jedi Survivor, the more I’m hitting frame rate issues. Still enjoying it but definitely not cool to be released like this. Can’t imagine what it would be like without VRR.

Edit: closed and restarted the game and it’s running much better for whatever reason.

I watched the trailer for Jedi Survivor and I remember all the reasons I hated Fallen Order: Wall running, platforming, hard to kill storm troopers, etc...  I love Star Wars, but I am not into this series. Glad for others who enjoy this sort of game. Give me The Force Unleashed 3 and I will be happy

I want Republic Commando 2 and KOTOR 3.

Besides potentially faster loading times and FPS boost for games that support it, not really. You get Xbox One X enhancements on Series X for games that have them.

If that's the case then I think "in theory" (since XBox can sometimes the obvious can somehow not work sometimes so I'm covering my bases) you should be fine, you'll be missing out on shadow effects and other graphical bells and whistles, but you "should" be at least playing the game on a solid 30FPS if One X on Series X with no real gameplay differences I want to say.

Most notable example is probably Just Cause 3, and other games which target 30fps or 60fps but don't maintain them, or have unlocked frame rates which aren't static or stable:

Rise of the Tomb Raider is another one which had great One X enhancements but wasn't completely solid in frame rate, which the Series X has no problem with. So it's not a huge list, but Series X in general will give you the best experience if a game isn't totally optimized.

So...uh... How do people get friends on XBL? I'm missing out on rewards every day because I don't have 7+ friends. Feels like insult to injury.

I normally hate JRPGs and even I liked Nier Automata. That game is a steal at $20.

Nier Automata is not a JRPG, but it is indeed great and well worth $20 ^^

If it's worth anything, yesterday I was able to buy on marketplace.xbox.com, Grabbed by the Ghoulies and Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory.  GbtG went through first try, but SC:CT failed twice then went through on try number three.

The other known OG Xbox titles keep failing with the "Sorry. Your purchase cannot be completed at this time. Please try again" message. They are:

• Splinter Cell
• Splinter Cell Double Agent (xbox)
• Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow
• Unreal Championship 2: The Liandri Conflict

Also, the Splinter Cell titles don't appear on the Xbox 360's store anymore, but GbtG and UC2 do. UC2 fails to purchase there as well. Starting to feel more intentional at least on the Splinter Cell games. GbtG was probably a mistake and fixed now.

Screen passes.

248 total movies.

No idea how many are 4k; not something I track.

Enjoy!
