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 Brief Chef]

I know favorite is very different than best, but I'm shocked at no Portal 2 to be found.

That's a good callout- Portal 2 was great at flipping the narrative and gameplay on it's head. It's not a Top 10 for me, but I remember the game and how much I enjoyed it vividly.

Also- GTA: Vice Cities should be in my top 10. It was the last game I played with my childhood best friend before he passed during the beginning of our senior year in high school.

I've been playing every GTA since to keep his memory alive- he would have loved to see all the great games that have come since

Traded in my older Series S at GameStop today for $212.50 credit.  Had to buy a Pro membership for $20 - guess I'll be using the monthly $5 coupon on PSN credit.  Still have my $150 Verizon Series S (thanks to shoethiefrexyk9).

While I was waiting, somebody wanted to buy a Series X but they left when the Diablo and Forza bundles were the only options.

 

[Lord Chabelo]

I'm getting in on the list train, in no particular order:

Zelda A Link To The Past
Final Fantasy VII
The Secret of Mana
Halo
Knights of the Old Republic
Vice City
Forza Horizon
Gran Turismo 2
Street Fighter 2
Ninja Gaiden II

Should I be scared to keep putting money into the Xbox ecosystem with Phil’s latest comments? He said they’d leave the industry by 2028 if they didn’t have more 100m gamepass subscribers with the majority being off console. I don’t think that has any shot at happening. But he also may have been hyperbolic with the FTC. Wonder what would happen to our digital libraries

 

[deszaras]

It was hard to stick to just ten.

Civilization 2
Fallout 2
Final Fantasy Tactics
Natural Selection (Half-life 1 mod)
Dark Souls
Ocarina of Time
Team Fortress 2
Pokemon R/B/Y
Halo 2
Super Smash Bros. (Melee too)




Too many favorites: Sonic 2/3/CD, Fallout 3/New Vegas, Morrowind/Oblivion/Skyrim, Dota 2, Mario Kart 64, Final Fantasy 7/12, Yakuza 0, Castles 2, Dead Space, Mario Party 3, Museum Madness, Call of Duty 4, Goldeneye 007, Total Annihilation, Ninja Gaiden Black, Starcraft 1/2, Paper Mario, Resident Evil 4, Lords of the Realm 2

Civ 2 was an addiction for me in high school. I’ve never enjoyed another game in the series as much as that one. They all fall short compared to that one.
My 10 would roughly be
KOTOR
Mass Effect 2
Castlevania SOTN
WoW
Bioshock
Batman Arkham Asylum
Tie Fighter
Civ 2
Saints Row the Third
Rock Band 3
Honorable mentions include Witcher 3, Wind Waker, Mario Sunshine, TMNT Arcade, AC Brotherhood and Far Cry 3

I'll limit myself to 1 game per series for my top 10:

Legend of Zelda (the original made a huge impression on my young mind)

Mega Man 2

Chrono Trigger

Super Metroid

Castlevania SOTN

Suikoden 2

Skies of Arcadia

Secret of Monkey Island (I love Lucasfilm/Sierra adventure games as a whole)

Persona 4

Life is Strange (this game helped me deal with my sister's death)

Honorable Mentions - FF7, Doom 1/2, Wing Commander 1/2, Soulcalibur 1/2, Mass Effect trilogy, Wipeout XL, Ultima 7, Contra 3, Unreal Tournament, World of Warcraft

 

[entexman]

I know favorite is very different than best, but I'm shocked at no Portal 2 to be found.

I played the hell out of Portal 2 online with a friend when it came out. In the end though it did not stand out enough for me since the fun required solving physics puzzles with a friend. For me a game needs to stand on it's own first to be considered a game worthy of my personal best games ever. I had a lot of fun playing Portal 2 with my friend, but the single player was just more of the same Portal for me. I have not played Portal 2 again since it came out. Definitely an awesome game for what it was.

 

[ChefMason]

No order other than first 5 being top 5:

Ogre Battle 64

Final Fantasy VIII

Gears of War 2

Mass Effect 2

Life Is Strange

Mortal Kombat II

Alan Wake

Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice

Zelda: Ocarina of Time

Halo Reach

I always know my top 5 but hadn't put much thought into the rest of the top 10. This feels good enough.

Guess Ive got my night set for me. Never heard of Ogre Battle 64 and a few of you have mentioned it. Off to Youtube I go.

It was at least a full year that I owned Raiders (2600) and we figured out that Controller 2 does stuff. My mom actually "beat" that god damn game

Not at all. Just never had the displeasure of touching those. I did, however, make the mistake of playing Peppa. It. Is. Awful.

[gamegirlpocket]

I'm honestly more excited for Infinite Wealth than any other game coming out in the next six months.

Also, I'm nearing the end of Sea of Stars. My hot take is... it's better than FF16.

I kneel. I've always loved the original game so much.

The original Link's Awakening is, IMHO, Nintendo at its best by playing to the strengths of the hardware and making something timeless. It started as a hobby project port LttP to the Game Boy but they preferred a new game. Since it wasn't planned in advance and considered a side story, they got to experiment a ton. I still think it has the best soundtrack and dungeons in the series, 2D or otherwise.

Folks were asking about BotW / TotK. Obviously great games. Link's Awakening on Game Boy is also better.

So… what happens after Microsoft buys Ubisoft next year?

The weekly sales are even worse.

 

[josekortez]

Sorry to break up the glut of random top ten lists, but Kroger currently has a deal where you can buy a Game & Grub eGift card to get $57.50 in Xbox credit for $50.  

https://giftcards.kroger.com/deal/game-grub-egift-37

The deal is online only, and it runs from 9/21/23 to 10/4/23.  In the past, this deal has also been one per customer (Kroger account).

You don't really think that Microsoft would be fighting tooth and nail and seeking to spend $69 Billion dollars to acquire Activision in what amounts to the largest gaming acquisition in history if there was any doubt about them staying in the gaming business, do you?

New reports from the latest court leaks says that despite Playstation making more revenue, Xbox actually makes MORE profit! And that is before the ABK deal. Xbox will be just fine.

I got 20 ARP for the spaceship game alienarena getting 6100 score. It really is random as I am used to getting 5000 points.

I choked the game on my 1st playthrough ever. Had to play on PC. only scored 290 points, but still got 500 Dell Reward points.

Have you played all of the Yakuza, Judgment and Like a Dragon games? I'm way behind on the series. Thoughts?

[n64ra]

Sorry I cheated on a top 10 list, so here's more cheating with my honorable mentions

• Tetris
• SimCity
• NBA Jam TE
• Tecmo Super Bowl
• Street Fighter 2
• Rock Band 2
• Mega Man 3
• Deus Ex
• Mortal Kombat II
• Mario Kart DS

 

[bardockkun]

Have you played all of the Yakuza, Judgment and Like a Dragon games? I'm way behind on the series. Thoughts?

-Yakuza 0 got me back in the series after trying and not caring for it on PS2, but 0 is legit one of the best games ever.

-Yakuza Kiwami 1 feels like a downgrade after 0, but then again it's a remake of a PS2 game so it was still finding itself

-Yakuza Kiwami 2 almost up on par with 0, but with new graphics engine from 0 so it looks so much better than the last two.

-Yakuza 3 you can straight up skip. It looks and feels like a launch PS3 game and the story is nonsensical. Like only thing you got to know is how Kiryu be living post Kiwami 2 and that's it.

-Yakuza 4 I almost want to say you can skip, but it introduces some characters that play a more pivotal role in future games. If anything, Youtube the cutscenes and the multiple protagonists feels like a slog and the writing also not the best (if a character in a cut scene gets a close up they're probably going to get shot from someone who just teleported in).
-Yakuza 5 brings back some of the humor you come to expect if you played from 0 through Kiwami 2. It also has multiple protagonists, but not as annoying as 4 did it. I Can recommend this one to play, just know the game goes ing ridiculous on enemy encounters in this one. As in it feels like longer you play, the higher chance you could be leaving a battle only to walk ten feet and into another battle.

-Yakuza 6 brings "closure" to the Kiryu centric storylines and runs on same engine as Kiwami 2. Doesn't quite hit the highs of Kiwami 2 and 0, but still great and worth playing if you've followed through the series up until now.

-Yakuza 7: Like a Dragon changes gameplay style from beat'em up to RPG and is maybe one of the best turn based RPG's in the past two generations. You can probably go into this one immediately since new protagonist and now that the cat is out of the bag on the big twist mid way through. With that said even with gameplay change, one of the best in the series.

-Yakuza Dead Souls is...look, I know the Yakuza team made Binary Domain, which rules ass, but this game they were definitely still trying to figure out how to do shooting mechanics and they don't really nail it. Recommended only if you're a huge fan and have patience for the controls.

-Judgment nails the humor and combat and offers some brand new mechanics, but I don't know...kinda lacks the charm of a Kiryu led games. Still good (hell, some of the detective stories elevate it to great at parts), but didn't love it like 0 and Kiwami 2 and it's still slightly below 6.

-Like a Dragon: Ishin I'm in the middle of playing and uses the same system as 0 instead of the more recent (at the time) engine that powered Kiwami 2, 6, 7 and Judgment. With that said, different setting and different'ish characters (think of it like Yakuza regulars are actors and they got a new movie script) and enjoying it and would put it above Judgment slightly so far.

-Lost Judgment I own, but haven't gotten around to.

Also order of the series I'd put from most favorite to "ehhh...it's alright" would be...

1. Yakuza 0

2. Yakuza 7: Like a Dragon

3. Yakuza Kiwami 2

4. Yakuza 6

5. Like a Dragon Ishin! (Unless the last half suddenly s it up)

6. Judgment

7. Yakuza Kiwami 1

8. Yakuza 5

9. Yakuza Dead Souls

10. Yakuza 4

11. Yakuza 3

In the very least I can recommend majority of the series so give it a shot.

Don't know if the code is sill live, but this is definitely the cheapest way to go about it if you're reupping. Basically got 100 days for less than $15.

If you're resubbing as a whole I think there's a different slightly cheaper way if you look on the site.

The Xbox numbers are correct (since he pulled them direct from the leaked docs), but the PlayStation and Nintendo numbers aren't.

As Spencer said on numerous occasions the Xbox division does operate at a profit.

 

[Jodou]

You have missed out on many of the greatest games ever made. It's mind bottling how a gamer can just choose one console and that's it. I don't know how many here only play on Xbox but Nintendo and Sony both make 10/10 games that are some of the best of all time. If gamers have only experienced Xbox games, they are missing out big time.

I'd say I've owned every major console since NES up until around GameCube, when Nintendo made a lot of dumb decisions that lost me as a gamer. They no longer cared about graphical power and instead focused on profits and watering down their first party games to be more accessible. I demanded more, both in architecture and in challenging gameplay. I completely skipped the Wii fad and even gave them a second chance with the Switch but ultimately sold it off as well once seeing they hadn't changed at all.

I doubt anyone in my position has missed out on anything really, except more clutter and dusty consoles.

 

[Jodou]

Not near enough Final Fantasy in this list.

Also, I'm not seeing any mention of Dragon Warrior games.

That's because they're all Dragon Quest.

A top ten list is kind of tough. I probably forgot something. 

Castlevania (NES)

Mega Man 2 (NES)

Link to the Past (SNES)

FF6 (SNES)

Chrono Trigger (SNES)

Final Fantasy Tactics (PS1)

RE4 (GC)

Hollow Knight (All)

Breath of the Wild (Switch)

Ori and The Blind Forest (Xbox)

Guess Ive got my night set for me. Never heard of Ogre Battle 64 and a few of you have mentioned it. Off to Youtube I go.

Honestly, it's a downgraded version of March of the Black Queen which came first. It looked more crisp on SNES and even the PS version than what N64 could do. Since it was the same isometric view, all it did was add muddy graphics and probably a different story (never played it). It's also the reason I'm hyped for Unicorn Overlord next year because it's a spiritual successor after some 30 odd years.

[gamegirlpocket]

Have you played all of the Yakuza, Judgment and Like a Dragon games? I'm way behind on the series. Thoughts?

Like a Dragon is actually the only game in the series I've finished and it was my personal GOTY 2020 (even compared to FF7R and Doom Eternal, both of which I loved). It's mostly a fresh start in terms of narrative, although the last 20% of the game or so really ties into some legacy storylines which I couldn't fully appreciate. It didn't matter because the game is just so damn good.
