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.

I know we have a few Destiny peeps around here, so this may be interesting. Everyone thought it was server overload from them trying to fix the funny gun issues going on this week (look that up if you haven't seen), but apparently they're getting attacked:

https://x.com/BungieHelp/status/1704309226628383222?s=20

So I decided to finally try ad hit General this season of Gears 5 via just Horde and man, this shit is easier than I thought. Already past the rank of Captain and I think need like 200 or so stars before hitting General with less than 10 weeks to go. Also Horde, still really fun though I do miss the simple days of gaming the system like using shields in reverse to make makeshift barricades in Gears 2 or early days of Horde in Gears 5 where you just do the same trick, but with the fabricator blocking the entrance.

Yes the link from x.com redirects me to twitter.com also but bardockkun just posted a link from twitter in the previous page and the tweet was embedded. I think if you link from a mobile phone it still embedds from twitter.com.

For embedding Twitter links on here I just open the desktop version of CAG and post the Twitter post link directly on here. For some reason the mobile version of CAG doesn't automatically embed the links.

Deals with Gamepass ultimate and core just rolls off the tongue (not lol) they definitely need to workshop a better  name.  Doesn't quite have the same ring as Deals with Gold.

Yeah these subscription services are a bad value in the long run. Microsoft has been tightening the screws lately with Game Pass by getting rid of $1 trials, lowering the amount of monthly rewards points you can get and raising the price by $2. I bet they'll raise it again after the ABK deal goes through and it will be a more significant hike because Call of Duty day 1 on GP will not be cheap. How will people feel when it hits $25 a month?

If you're paying monthly for Game Pass and you're on this site, then you're doing it wrong and that's on you.

I know we have a few Destiny peeps around here, so this may be interesting. Everyone thought it was server overload from them trying to fix the funny gun issues going on this week (look that up if you haven't seen), but apparently they're getting attacked:

https://x.com/BungieHelp/status/1704309226628383222?s=20

I'm sad to report that I had to use a hilarious Ammit in order to beat this week's GMNF. That boss room is just too much. I wouldn't have bothered with it, but I wanted that remade Warden's Law real bad.

 

[Bloomy]

So I decided to finally try ad hit General this season of Gears 5 via just Horde and man, this shit is easier than I thought. Already past the rank of Captain and I think need like 200 or so stars before hitting General with less than 10 weeks to go. Also Horde, still really fun though I do miss the simple days of gaming the system like using shields in reverse to make makeshift barricades in Gears 2 or early days of Horde in Gears 5 where you just do the same trick, but with the fabricator blocking the entrance.

The permanent boost makes things much easier. And if you don't care about the cosmetics, you can dump the iron you get from the tour ranks into rerolls for more dailies.

I'm up to Colonel III with 114 stars for General. Haven't done today's dailies yet and am close on some other challenges. I keep thinking about trying to complete General in the first week of a tour, but fall short but still get it by the second weekend. Really need to stop playing PvE and just finish the Vs achievements I need, but I still enjoy Escape.

I Still need to get the weapon skins and cosmetics achievements otherwise I would use my iron and gold, but even then I'm enjoying leveling up my Horde classes despite how pain in the ass it is to get those gold cards.

Just ran the daily Escape on Master, completing 2 dailies and 3 tour medals. Made Major General I, now 82 away from General. Even had one guy die in the first half when he went off on his own and then dropped after we got to the safe room.

You know about the efficient ways to level up and grind for cards?

Spoiler

For levels, play Escape on Master on the Clock hive. Restart until you get the spawn with Juvies and Rejects and just run by them to the closest safe room. Once you get to the safe room, restart act. Do that for about 20-30 minutes and you'll level up fast. The reason you should stop after a bit is because there's a cap to the amount of XP you can gain, so quit out and start again. Can be done solo, though it's helpful to have at least 1 other person to split the enemies' attention. When you get near the safe room, there might be a Grenadier spawn which can screw up the run.

For cards, run The Surge on Insane, with all modifiers except More Lethal and More Scions. From the start, run up the left path and by the enemies, then to the safe room, trying to avoid the Drones outside the door. In the second half, run all the way to the right, past the Rejects and Juvies, including Poppers, then back to the center toward the exit. Will need to fight some stuff once you get to the landing pad. Insane gives a decent return on Purple and occasionally Gold cards.

Depending on the time of day, can find public lobbies people have for grinding things out. Can always play the game normally, but if you're not comfortable with a class, or want to get it beefed up a bit, that's an alternative.

 

[deszaras]

So any good deals on trade ins for consoles? Might get a second X before it discless. Got a Scorpio and a Day One the kids aren't using so much because loading takes forever (it does).

GameStop had been offering an extra $50 towards trading in an older console towards a new one. If you consider doing this, be very certain your store has one in stock and if it’s bundled or not. The day I was going to trade my One X for a second Series X, I called and they told me they had plenty in stock. After waiting for the customers in front of me for 30 minutes and when they started my trade, they discovered they only had the bundle with FH5 which was $60 extra. I left, bought one on Amazon and when it came traded in my One X for Xbox credit at GameStop.

Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth dropping January 26th has made me realize that I only really pre-order Sega and Nintendo games, so I can't tell if it's the 90s console fanboy in me not letting shit go or if those publishers just made games for me. Regardless, goddamn can't wait for more Ichiban.

Deals with Gamepass ultimate and core just rolls off the tongue (not lol) they definitely need to workshop a better name. Doesn't quite have the same ring as Deals with Gold.

Xbox does not give a shit about names or we never would have gotten things like Xbox One or Series S/X. Hell, they trashed "Xbox Live" for "Xbox network".

[Freeze Time]

The way I look at it is that most of us are getting free consoles and controllers and games and subscriptions simply by playing Xbox games and doing the daily missions and searching with the start app etc. Let's say you use all your points for a Series X and have to pay for game pass out of pocket. You are still getting an amazing deal. Pretty much buy Game Pass, get a console free. If you aren't doing all the daily stuff then start. It's also amazing that the points don't expire so I can just keep saving them. I will definitely buy the next console with my points. I already have enough to buy a Series X and a controller and other stuff if I want but since I already have those things, I will wait for the next console and it will be free(if the program is around in 5 years that is.)

I'm still that Microsoft actually is going to update their controller. I love the Dualsense and it's cool that Microsoft will be getting those features either the same or better.

I played it on PS4 before I knew about 0, so it's been a while. In fact, it may have been bland because the ps controllers are so awful in my hands.

Party Animals is on GP with 93 achievements. May be good for you daily point poppers!

Considering it's called the Xbox Universal Controller, I'm guessing they're going to carry it over to next gen so every game can make use of the haptics. Will be very interesting to see how devs support it mid-gen.

I played it on PS4 before 0 was remastered, so it's been a while. In fact, it may have been bland because the ps controllers are so awful in my hands.

Remaster? I think you misspoke as 0 did not get a remaster. It definitely has been a while for you

If you really don't like the brawler games then I want to say jump into Kiwami 2 or 6 since they use the Dragon Engine and play a bit differently than the rest of the games (still brawlers but they have wacky physics and are shorter). I'd say the next one to play after 0 is 6 since that completes Kiryu's story (and that plays into the newer games).

0 released around Kiwami, so I assumed it remastered. I dunno.

PS5 controller is better than PS4's btw. It's still pretty jank compared to how the Xbox controller feels though. I had to turn off those stupid triggers though.

Yakuza 0 is a prequel to the original Yakuza and launched on PS4 natively. The first two games were on PS2 and got entirely remade into Yakuza Kiwami 1 and 2, respectively for PS4 and then ported to Xbox One. They tend to organize the series into the early games plotwise (0-Kiwami 2) and the latter remaster trilogy (3-5, which were originally developed on the PS3). Most people online recommend playing in chronological order instead of order of release.

The haptic feedback triggers on the PS5 controller is the only thing I like about them. I mean the 2-3 hour battery life is a great feature too but...

Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow

Mario Kart 64

Soul Calibur II

The Warriors

Half-Life 2

Paper Mario: TTYD

I Do also want to give a shout out to Bully in that it probably is my favorite open-world game. Jet Set Radio I kinda wanted to add for some Dreamcast representation, but played it a few years back and there's some problems. Still one of the best game soundtracks though. Resident Evil 4 I think you can randomly throw in as well, same with Dance Central 3, but that's because it's one of the few Kinect games that work and I love me some Harmonix.

[Jodou]

So Lies of P is actually good. Only put a few hours in getting past a couple bosses but they certainly nailed the cloning process from UI to combat. About the only things they bring to the table for freshness are obviously the aesthetic which is definitely enough to carry it alone, but also the gearing system of hilts and blades. They basically took what Bloodborne did with switchblades and made it modular, which isn't a bad take on the concept so it works well. If anything, the one valid critique would be they played it very safe and for the most part just copied off From Software's test the whole way. Difficulty feels a little more accessible, so I think they were aiming for a wider audience as a first offering as well.

Overall, even if they did essentially copy/paste every Souls game it could be seen as the highest flattery and the game is solid for it. I'll definitely be playing this one for a bit and Game Pass makes it just that much more sweet.

Oh, and devs need to take note the costume slot is how transmog should work in every game. So simple it's any wonder how games manage to it up so often, or leave it out.

I loved the OverRun game mode in Gears of War Judgement. I know that game wasn't well likely and like no one cared about OverRun but it was pretty simple fun too. I played it for probably 100+ hours.

In Borderlands 3 I also like Arm's race game mode. Again not too well received but not too hard to figure out and play and a bit different then the main game. I wish they would have done more with it actually.

 

[jimbo8574]

I haven't been too thrilled with their 3 tiers of PS+. I am on the cheaper tier but really questioning if I will pay $80 for it next year. Other then the occasional online play and cloud saves I don't see the value in it anymore. Sony comes out with less then one new game a year I have to play. And they aren't on the $80 tier anyway.

People that think Mario Kart is the best one need to go back and play it again. MK8DD!! absolutely blows it away. I have very fond memories of the game(block fort!!!) but going back to after the ones that have come after, especially the latest one, is tough.
