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.

Console wars are for plebs. Just 'git gud' and have more disposable income

Time, on the other hand, an entirely different problem Raising kids in this environment though?

If you can’t afford to buy games you shouldn’t be gaming at the end of the day. That’s just my opinion, it’s not about having a disposable income. People just prioritize things differently.

Ended up getting the complete edition of Midnight Suns with the Samsung credit. I tried the trial and the card aspect isn't as lame as I thought. With the base you can walk around and conversations/relationship-building it actually reminds me of Fire Emblem.

Warcraft has absolutely been on console, tisk tisk.

I stand corrected. Never knew that Warcraft 2 was on console.

If you can’t afford to buy games you shouldn’t be gaming at the end of the day. That’s just my opinion, it’s not about having a disposable income. People just prioritize things differently.

This doesn't really apply like it used to. Before if you had absolutely no money you basically had to rely on piracy. Now you can have good, full experiences without spending a dime in the better F2P games. Stuff like Fortnite, Warframe, Genshin Impact, Fall Guys, Rocket League.

Also keep in mind that most of mobile is "free".

I'm not sure what you meant by referring to this in a console wars sense though. I think the vast majority of players stick to one console for a generation. Buying a second or third console just for the exclusives is definitely on the luxury side of things for most players

I'm pretty sure I've hit a wall in Borderlands 2. I'm at the bloodwing fight and I have died at least 20 times. The green acid stuff destroys me every time. I can get her health down to about 25% but the game throws so many of those creatures at you while the bloodwing is attacking. It just seems unfair. I am at level 18 with a level 18 sniper rifle but pretty much all my other guns are level 15 and below since I don't know where to find more powerful weapons to buy(I only have $2600) or that get dropped( seems like the ones that drop are past my level or aren't as good as my current ones) and have resorted to youtubing how I am suppose to beat him and pretty much everything says I need to be at at least level 21 and there is no way I am going to grind 3 more levels and then travel all the way back to her since there is no fast travel nearby. There are too many mods and different lingos that are thrown around in the youtube vids like I am supposed to know what they are talking about. I don't like how this game allows you to get to such OP enemies without a means of getting out and back to the area quickly once you have changed weapons or leveled up. I don't see myself beating this game before the 18th. It really feels like the game wants you to do a lot of side missions before the main story. I also see people with like 1000000000 shield and health when fighting the bloodwing. I am at 710 shield and 1040 health. WTF??

Unless someone here can tell me a quick way to beat bloodwing(I have tried to cheese her in the bottom corner crate and behind the switch but those creatures are relentless and it doesn't really work) or a way to quickly level up, I think I am done.

**EDIT** So I leveled up to 20 and got some better weapons and shields/mods etc from the nearby side mission creature slaughter and after 2 rounds of that mess, I felt confident enough to try the bloodwing again and beat her on my first try. Hopefully that crap doesn't happen again.

 

[MykelxKnight]

This doesn't really apply like it used to. Before if you had absolutely no money you basically had to rely on piracy. Now you can have good, full experiences without spending a dime in the better F2P games. Stuff like Fortnite, Warframe, Genshin Impact, Fall Guys, Rocket League. Plus you have stuff like Itch.io on PC. Not to mention if we figure in ultra cheap games on sale, or something like MS Rewards the help with minimal budgets. Also keep in mind that most of mobile is "free".

Most people who bicker between console wars are people who can’t afford to have everything all at once. Unless they’re just being bias about something which is completely stupid. It still stands with gaming period. If you can’t afford to own a console/phone/pc you shouldn’t have it in the first place. Gaming in general is a luxury period. It’s nothing but, a time killer. People like to argue in general on what they think is better, at the end of the day what works for me might not work for you. Ain’t no reason to bicker because you have nothing else better to talk about. Fighting over something you have no control of is like punching a wall all day, you ain’t gonna get no where.

It has been sometime since I have played BL2 but I seem to have my saves. If you can't get past it I can maybe join your game tomorrow or later in the week. I have at least one level 72 character. I am on the east coast.

Thanks for that but again, I am playing on PS5 and the game leaves Premium the 18th. I will just try to level up at the nearby slaughter place and hope for the best.

 

[jimbo8574]

I have it on PS4/PS5 too. Probably can't help today though.

 

[awp]

Pretty funny that just a minute ago I got a notification from my PlayStation app that Season 4 of Call of Duty is starting. Sure it’s a coincidence but felt like Sony telling its players, “Don’t worry. We still have CoD!”

 

[Chuck Stank]

Console wars are for plebs. Just 'git gud' and have more disposable income

Time, on the other hand, an entirely different problem Raising kids in this environment though?

So true. It's weird seeing grown men like awp (i'm assuming they're older than 12) that's been getting a hate boner over this whole thing. Nobody should be happy about any of these corporations buying everyone up.

I haven’t gotten a “hate boner” over this. I just think there needs to be a more level playing field for all consoles. I’ve been playing Final Fantasy 16 almost every day since it came out and it probably will never come to Xbox because of exclusivity contracts. I prefer the Xbox ecosystem but I don’t hate PlayStation. I’m not a fan of Jim Ryan but have nothing against PS gamers, including friends of mine who I’ve not once gotten into a “console war” argument.

Sony has all kinds of exclusive deals signed which IMO are just as bad as buying studios. At least Microsoft is keeping CoD on PlayStation.

And who wouldn’t want more games on GamePass?

In all honesty, I’d love to have ALL games on every system and just play where you want them.

If you want to see hate, go to sites like Push Square and read the comments. It’s disgusting how toxic that community is on both sides.

Most of my comments about the buyout have been about how idiotic the FTC and CMA have been. Not “let’s Sony”.

 

[bee01]

That's true. Sony will feel it losing all that CoD revenue every year. That is what helps them fund their big budget exclusives.

Sony is going to make more money from COD if they get a standard 30% cut under this deal instead of the 20% cut they get now. Of course, they will lose some COD sales to Game Pass, but I don't think it's going to be enough to harm them. Losing COD entirely would've been a disaster, which is why Sony is tucking tail and signing the contract finally. Microsoft would've been dumb to pull COD anyway. Losing such a large part of your player base would be a good way to quicken the demise of COD and open the door for a new game to take its place.

I hope that the annual COD releases finally stop so some staff can be freed up to work on other stuff.

Doubt annual CoD releases stop.

Hopefully MS just invests in support studios to help keep the CoD machine going to free up those other studios to create new titles.

 

[FesterHoghead]

I want CoD in its own little silo and keep those players away from the rest. Bring on Candy Crush Covenant edition.

 

[Kromis]

Alright so my $1 refund that I got from cancelling my Game Pass Ultimate last month is going to expire in about 12 days. I thought it was going to be 90 days like most promotional credit but I guess this is different. Anyway I'm now looking to burn it within the next two weeks. Was eyeing Mad Max but I wish it was cheaper; it hasn't gotten any cheaper than 75% off since late 2017. Why can't it get a steeper discount like other WB titles (Middle-Earth, Mortal Kombat). SAD!

I'm expecting Clustertruck to be the last GWG as a big ol you directly to me and how much I hate that game.

 

[KCF0107]

I wonder if the "Free games acquired with Gold will remain in user's account" part will mean they are permanently there or if one still needs to be subscribed to Core or Game Pass to access them.

 

[SIX min WHISTLE]

I can't believe they're ditching the Xbox Live branding entirely after 20 years. Very lame to change it to a variant of Game Pass.

Killing GWG isn't surprising considering the life support mode it's been in. The replacement is theoretically better but it sucks that those games could potentially be rolled out of circulation if they want. At least they aren't using this to force a price hike.

I wonder what PS+ will do in reaction to this.

 

[awp]

Sounds like a decent transition plan but, crap, my GamePass expires in November. There may be no way to do a Gold to GP conversion at that point. I don’t know if all the Gold codes out there as well as future codes will be the equivalent of Gold and convert like they currently do. Or if I’ll just be screwed on cheapy GP.

That Wario tweet linked to an article that referred to a Windows Central article that has since been taken down. Probably jumped the gun but assuming it’s true.

 

[Khalid]

Lot of people don't like the state of GwG, so I will be an outliner with my opinion.

Kinda suck as a GPU member, that we will lose 2 "free" games per month. Last GwG I played a few months ago was Iris Fall and it was pretty decent. It was also another way for devs to get extra revenue.

Dropping the online paywall would give them a real advantage over PS5. Dumb move to keep it imo.

 

[Freeze Time]

Wait so does this news mean that those of us that aren't maxed out with GP need to get gold and then convert it now before Sept 1st? I understand it's not as good but it might go away completely with the new service.

 

[briandadude]

I blame the lame games with gold for major Nelson leaving. Have you heard this tone on those lately? Dead inside.

Called it?

 

[briandadude]

Agreed. Much rather have free online multiplayer than 25 Game Pass games but I guess they knew that. Oh well, I'm going to try without any subscription in October and think I'll be fine playing Rocket League for multiplayer.

"guys...game pass growth is looking weak soooo let's rename Xbox live to game pass core to fix it."

I am for standardizing the names of subscription levels though as they were confusing.

 

[Antarael Dulacre]

Since GWG and Xbox Live will end on the 1st September...do you guys think we will still get two GWG titles next month?

Or even some sort of goodbye package?

Have doubts about both, but I'll take anything with me before it goes down lol. Especially since he sentence "Free games previously aquired with Live Gold will remain in the user's account" implies we will own them like with the old 360 games...

Will have to look into other options for the Gold to GPU conversion though..that's what I've been doing with rewards for the past years...but for now I'm good until June 2026 anyways...

MS removed that a few years ago and I dont think it came back.

Multiplayer is free only if the game is free. If you pay for the game, you must pay for multiplayer (unless on PC).

It's like the fancy hotels make you pay for wifi but it's free at the cheap places.

Seems backwards but that is the marketplace apparently.

I'm impressed. I didn't think Microsoft could look at the three tiers of PS+ and go "yo, how can we do PS+ Essential, but shittier?"

If Halo 3 hadn't already been GWG (and the 360 servers were still online) I'd say, "Send me out... with a bang."

But yeah, it'd be awesome to have a last blast of good stuff as a celebration of sorts. XBL and GWG has been amazing for so long. I guess it really is All Hail Our Lord and Savior GamePass now.

Two games yes, goodbye package no. At best maybe go out with a banger like Portal 2 being the last 360 game.

One year of Core is still $60. The only change is GwG being replaced with a library of 25 games, which seems to be inspired by the recently killed PS Plus Collection. Gold has already been shitter than Essential for a while with mostly cheap, small indie games filling out the roster, compared to Sony putting money into their monthly games since they aren't putting new stuff on their service.

 

[Euripides]

Would be nice when the Call of Duty games come to game pass that they give for free all the map packs on the 360 titles like they do for the 360 gears of war titles and did for Halo 360 titles before they were delisted. This way renewed interest in those games for people that never played those maps.

I did try a few of the 360 COD games yesterday and had no issues getting on a death match game. 

 

[MykelxKnight]

$16.99 a month for gamepass ultimate is a steal in my eyes still but, who am I. You guys act if there isn’t a huge amount of games available on the service. You’re paying less a month then you would for a full game and have access to exclusives that get released. PlayStation is charging $17.99 a month for there service and have a way smaller list of games available. Was going to happen at sometime that the price would go up. Them killing gwg is kind of a bummer but, let’s be honest. The last time good games were getting added were before gamepass existed.

The playstation list seem pretty big:

https://www.pushsquare.com/guides/all-ps-plus-games

And "good" is pretty relative. They gave a bunch of small indies games that are rate 9/10 on Steam. The issue was a lot of people want those AAA games and popular new indies, which went to gamepass instead.

Moving Out, Kingdom Two Crowns, For The King, were pretty nice titles for example, but they were in gamepass before being GwG, but I was happy to add them to my collection.

I have a feeling gamepass is about to expand the list of games available as to why the price is being raised. The reason I didn’t opt for ps+ premium is I own a majority of the games they’re offering and most of the titles are older games. They’re both good services though compared to purchasing games constantly. Both are just lacking aaa titles like you were saying.

As a GPU subscriber it's hard not to feel like the GwG news just means you are paying more and getting less.  

Pros

-We don't have to put up with everyone on Twitter talking about how bad the GwG titles are

-Maybe this frees up opportunities to see more titles added to GP

-The Core service features 25 games instantly, which is a decent entry point for new Xbox players

Cons

-We get 24 less games per year added to our collection

-Sony runs absolutely unoppossed in the "free" games every month market (and they have been crushing Xbox for years with the lineup)

I'm not sure how big a selling point the GwG feature vs PS+ Essential games is/was.  However, with the money MS is throwing at the AVB purchase, it seems like this was a lost opportunity to compete in this market too.  Microsoft now lives or dies with the value proposition that you get all MS published games on day 1 with your membership.

GPU is my favorite service for gaming, but PS Essential at $5/month might be the best value at this point.

Yeah the Twitter stuff about killing GwG were always dumb for me. It is like losing something without gaining anything.

My opinion is I don't think we will see more oportunity for more title for GP cause of this. I think this is just one of a series of cost cutting that they are currently doing. The previous week they announced that there will be even more layoff at MS. Their core feature will mostly be MS games and a few games that they will pick from the current gamepass library. They won't have to spend the whatever amount they were giving to GwG devs.

Also by branding it gamepass core, they can probably say that they have more active gamepass users now then their 25 millions.
