Game Pass potential departure dates​

Last updated - 2025-05-16

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 2026. 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.

Is it weird to anyone else that right now would be the Square Enix E3 press conference and the only one left to go after right now would be Nintendo Direct in the morning? If this were like last year.... Microsoft would have gone yesterday, Bethesda, Ubisoft and EA would already be done too.

Tomorrow is when the show floor would officially open...

Well, seeing all the protesting and anger does remind me of the last time Microsoft revealed their console at E3...

 

[chnandler_bong]

Ya, you HAVE to have them personally come to your physical home to log into their digital profile to claim a digital item. What other method could you possibly use?


Again, if you read the FAQ about it you don't have to claim pack in items immediately and you can claim them later on any account. This does cut out grey markets, but it makes it easier for people like me that game share.

NONSENSE

You could also take your console to their house.

 

[Pheran]

I use this for my TV buying as well, IPS or OLED. I really dislike TN panels which eliminates almost every TV on the market including Samsung.

Most decent modern TVs use VA panels, not TN. VA is sort of a compromise between TN and IPS - it sacrifices some viewing angle for much-improved contrast/black level, but still has better viewing angle and color than TN. IPS panels have great color and viewing angles but don't make great TVs because of their poor black level. If you can afford it, OLED is pretty much the best of all worlds, aside from typically having a lower peak brightness and some potential burn-in issues.

I just finished Life is Strange 2 (thanks Game Pass).  It's not as good as the the original or Before the Storm, but I still enjoyed it.  One thing I will say is that it's very timely, given that it features racism as a recurring theme and (spoiler for an event that happens very early in episode 1):

Spoiler

a character getting murdered by a police officer

It has almost no connection to the original two games other than a quick reference to Arcadia Bay and the return of one character from the originals late in the game (who only has a minor role in LiS2).

PS: When you finish playing episode 1 it will prompt you to download "The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit" for free before proceeding to episode 2.  I definitely recommend doing this as it ties directly into the story.

Was $5 for physical at Amazon the other day

 

[Nickk_Jones]

The idea is to elimate grey market reselling and also they can easily change the game bundles when sales are slow without shipping new discs or new skus. Rather they just send a repackaging sticker showing new games. It's a massive amount of savings packaging wise for Microsoft considering they don't have to make countless bundles anymore. Of course this is also anti consumer and also further pushes the digital landscape.

I don't really care for it but with the amount of bundles they had last gen the savings is going to help Microsoft. I'd imagine Sony does the same.

Next gen should only see two skus with select bundled games outside of limited edition consoles like the cyberpunk one. Less confusing and more straight forward.

I wish more people would understand how digital games and the push for digital only one day is very anti consumer. Don't get me wrong, I do buy digital games sometimes if it's the best price available or if the physical edition is rare or something but it pains me to do so because I know I don't actually own anything but a license to use the game and I can't trade it or sell it if I feel like it. I think most people here understand that but if you go into a general gaming chat a lot of them just pay full price and don't even consider ownership or pricing or anything.

Having three XB1s in my house makes digital a no-brainer, but in this day and age where even disc games can require having an online connection, I don't feel an ounce more safe and secure with a disc copy of anything. All the games I have stored on multiple external hard drives are just as guaranteed to work for as long as their disc counterparts.

I don't see the point in owning physical in this generation of PS4 or Xbox one. Most discs are coasters since all these triple A games have massive day one patches and the games need to be installed on hard drives anyway and don't play from disc. I'd rather have multiple hard drives with games installed with current patches and updates. If you don't have the patches you just have broken games on disc.

When they said "I vant to suck," they forgot to add the "your blood" part.

The push to digital has been totally terrible and anti-consumer for pricing and access to TV, movies, and music, so I see your point.

I understand Microsoft's reasons but I was really set on selling the bundled digital copy of Cyberpunk 2077 and buying a physical copy for the steelbook and other 'feelies'.

And yes, I'm acutely aware of how uncyberpunk-like it would be to forfeit digital in favour of physical.

I was looking to buy a copy from a bundle since I'm all digital and usually get some good deals on bundled games.

The conversation about 'ownership' and digital licensing feels similar to when Xbox rolled out BC and I heard a lot of folks say they didn't care because "they bought the console to play new games." Just looking at the condition of used games, the way people throw out cases and have disc or cart only games (I will never, ever understand this) to the way Gamestop normalized trading in games for a fraction of their value, it's not surprising folks who don't collect games see it more as disposable entertainment. Steam has also made digital licensing wayyy more palatable, I doubt we'd be seeing this on consoles if not for the PC shift to almost all-digital.

My cousin buys the new CoD every year and plays with his friends. He started buying them digital because it's more convenient and once the new one comes out, he never revisits the previous titles. Sports games are like this too.

 

[Donken]

My shift to digital has largely been due to Bing points and convenience. I still buy all my Nintendo games on cartridges because they hold value and Nintendo digital licenses suck and they have a history of shutting down old Nintendo digital stores. Microsoft has shown that they want to carry old games forward and they have bing which combined with sales has made me gather a large collection for free or largely discounted. I don’t think I have bought a physical Xbox one game since Best Buy’s Gamers Club went away.

The disc drives in both my Xbox One consoles died. I got a new Xbox One X but my fatty original disc drive won’t read discs anymore so it’s basically an Xbox One All Digital Edition now. If a store starts selling discs for $48 again with $10 gift certs then I’ll buy more discs. I have no loyalty to discs or digital, I just go with what’s convenient and/or cheap.

 

[CaseX]

My cousin buys the new CoD every year and plays with his friends. He started buying them digital because it's more convenient and once the new one comes out, he never revisits the previous titles. Sports games are like this too.

This is exactly why I do buy physical for those types of games. If I know I won't play it after a few months or after a year, I can at least trade it in (no matter how miniscule the trade-in value) for some $ rather than have something that is now worthless.

The only times I go digital is if it's a title that I play continuously (like Rocket League, Rainbow 6). For me digital or physical depends on how much I think I'd like the game and how much I'd play it. Anything that is short term, I go physical so I can at least extract some value back by trading it in.

 

[justoneuncle]

The push for digital only is anti-consumer because it is anti-choice. I almost exclusively buy physical copies. I own almost 40% of the physical library. My purchases would significantly decline in an all-digital future. Obviously, some people almost exclusively buy digital copies. That's their prerogative. Both sides win when both options are available.

 

[Ryuukishi]

This is exactly why I do buy physical for those types of games. If I know I won't play it after a few months or after a year, I can at least trade it in (no matter how miniscule the trade-in value) for some $ rather than have something that is now worthless.

This is where I am.

1. I don't play games one at a time. I'm always drifting between a bunch of different games at once.

2. I have one Xbox in a communal area that I play with the kids, and another in my "man cave."

For those reasons, it is SUCH a boon to buy games digitally and not have to worry about which disc is in which Xbox. I only buy physical discs now when I think it might be something I'll want to sell after finishing and never want to revisit. And when I do decide to keep a game I find myself "converting" disc games to digital when there's a good sale price on XBLM. My physical library is shrinking and my digital library is growing. And I love it.

 

[Donken]

Even my movie collection is turning digital, I rarely buy movies anymore. The world is so full of movies, music, video games, you barely have time to consume just the stuff you like. If I had everything I liked physically for movies, video games and music it would take up many sets of shelves. I just don’t have the space for it now that I have kids. If I’m in the mood to watch or play something, it’s pretty easy to find a service that has it or a way to buy it digitally. New content is constantly coming out, I just hope in the future Nintendo and Sony take a Microsoft approach and start protecting these older game’s and making them easier to access today. I was showing my family Rampage and Tapper on the capcom Collection recently. I just hope these old games find space on modern servers to make it so we can access them for years to come, without having to devote rooms to storing old systems and cartridges.

 

[LoganDX]

Not that it's important in the grand conspiracy but as someone who games but has some pretty crippling physical shit, I've had to switch to digital. Between the physical toll it takes just maintaining a physical library, because the digital naysayers NEVER bring that up like ever, then there's doing a lot into going about your day normally let alone if you want to get into messing around with finding a different game (or movie) in your physical library if your're in a shit ton of pain.

I have gone from approximately 2,000 physical discs spread across games and tv\movie media as my health and another situation unfolded to maybe 75. I have little regret, my health simply can not afford the luxury of that vast collection. Digital however has given me the ability to keep going on, especially right now as I look at yet another surgery coming up.

I love the look and feel of the physical media but the convenience of digital for people like me and many, many more should not be discounted

 

[gunstar808]

Haunted Castle is really something.... something bad

That's what I started with. Had no idea it was so rough. Ended up switching to the other games, then finished Haunted Castle.

I enjoyed Scramble the most.

[braiiins]

I mostly do digital for space reasoning. Between all consoles I probably have nearly 1000 games. Even if 30% are digital only titles I don't have the space for that many physical games. I have like 50 physical games and will pick them up every once in a while but unless it's a newer game, any price difference or credit received from a trade in isn't really worth my time unless I'm doing it in bulk which would take too long to save up that many played games. Like Donken, the only games I go out of my way to get physically are first party Nintendo since they hold their value the most. 

I'm no more concerned with losing access to a digital game than I am with a physical game with how many games have online elements these days. I own Battleborn physically but won't be able to access that in 7 months as far as I can tell.

I started it recently and have almost finished it (halfway through Ep 5) and the scene in your spoiler almost made me want to stop before really getting started. Not that it's political or anything but now more than ever, I've been leaning on video games to escape the real world. I also agree with you that it's not as good as the original or BtS but it basically had no chance of being so for me.

They are better options if you want to spend a little more.

If I'm understanding this deal right, I can just rent a movie for $1.99 and get Sonic Mania for free? Because, it seems like the rental movies are included in the offer, as far as I can tell.

Ah lame. I wonder why they listed them in the deal then. If you look at the page that he posted, it has a section for video game based movie rentals at the bottom.
