General info

Spoiler

• 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 ...
• Always verify Xbox Live Marketplace prices before your purchase!
• Spend wisely, have fun, and enjoy!

Game Pass potential departure dates​

Last updated - 2024-05-02

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.

Oh snap! Cat fight!

 

[Jodou]

Hopefully we get release dates for some of the games said to be coming out this year. Particularly looking forward to Avowed, Towerborne, Hellblade 2 and Stalker 2. Looking forward to all of those so it could be a great year for me even just those 4 come out!

Avowed won't be this year, just hasn't had any news other than another B-reel with graphics that look cartoony. Stalker 2 should finally be this year but unless we get big news this month, it won't be April but likely September. Hoping I'm wrong but this year looks to be mainly ABK catalog rolling in and what has already been slated. I do think Fable will get more of a look building towards a release within a year or two, but that's about it. Oh and Starfield redemption arch starts with the expansion probably in November.

 

[Kromis]

Oh snap! Cat fight!

No mention of Like A Dragon: Ishin!

Sad!

 

[bobbyblane]

Did anybody get the Gameflip coupon that just went out? Stupid Gameflip app ate the notification.

Don't know if it's still good, but here it is - ANL5125R

 

[bardockkun]

So what am I missing? have a code for turkey, my vpn says I'm connected to turkey, I check my ip it says turkey, when I go to to microsoft.com/redeem it says this code is geolocated and cant be redeemed am I missing a step?

Hmm, odd. Never had a problem like that. I Say double check the listing and try the other two most known locations just to be sure. If it's not that then it maybe the VPN?

 

[bardockkun]

Don't know if it's still good, but here it is - ANL5125R

Still good. Got FF7 Crisis Core for under $11 after a dollar and some cents off.

Also Akai Katana Shin has a listing at $8.80, BUT 3 day delivery for those waiting on that on the cheap.

 

[Jodou]

Oh snap! Cat fight!

They were also just fined for anti-competitive practices over 3rd party controllers of all things. Sony has become overzealous.

 

[chrisbravo]

I don't trust that BestGames seller, tried once, did not redeem right away and then showed as previously redeemed, I set a complain and he blocked me. Has some bad reps with pretty much the same issue.

 

[Strider Turbulence EX]

So what am I missing? have a code for turkey, my vpn says I'm connected to turkey, I check my ip it says turkey, when I go to to microsoft.com/redeem it says this code is geolocated and cant be redeemed am I missing a step?

Is it No more heroes 3?

 

[bardockkun]

I don't trust that BestGames seller, tried once, did not redeem right away and then showed as previously redeemed, I set a complain and he blocked me. Has some bad reps with pretty much the same issue.

Oof. Guess I'll just pre-prepare that possible kick to the balls now.

 

[chrisbravo]

Oof. Guess I'll just pre-prepare that possible kick to the balls now.

just try to redeem as soon as you get it to have the best chance, good luck!

 

[bobbyblane]

I know it's probably ill founded on my part, but do you all redeem these vpn codes on your primary profile? I have a fear of losing my US bought content if my account ever got flagged for redeeming these Gameflip keys. Seems to me it would be less risky to redeem on a second profile and just game share with my primary

Think new accounts are asking for verification. I’ve never been asked to but have had my account for quite a while (and abuse it regularly).

I've had my account for over a year.

I know it's probably ill founded on my part, but do you all redeem these vpn codes on your primary profile? I have a fear of losing my US bought content if my account ever got flagged for redeeming these Gameflip keys. Seems to me it would be less risky to redeem on a second profile and just game share with my primary

I Felt worried at first, but after awhile I got less concerned mostly because this cheap game loophole still gets Microsoft paid and it's been over a year now that I just put majority of my stuff on my main account now. Second account I still put games here and there, but it's mostly the stuff that hasn't gone on sale in a long ass time and is more Series S capable like the ACA Neo Geo stuff. With that said I do feel some moral problems with it mostly because I assume the developers (especially indie ones) need that first launch month cash more than any other time and I don't think buying it for (sometimes) 80% off or whatever helps them at all. I Kinda offset this by making note to buy it when it's on sale on another platform just because that's the time I feel I would've gotten it anyways and give them at least something extra if I enjoyed the game that much and want to experience it again but with a new trophy/achievement list or whatever.

Hmm, odd. Never had a problem like that. I Say double check the listing and try the other two most known locations just to be sure. If it's not that then it maybe the VPN?

Yep ended up being a location issue the listing showed Turkey but they sent a message I didn't see that said it was Argentina, as soon as I did Argentina it worked perfect.

Is it No more heroes 3?

Nope it wasn't No more heroes .

I must be waiting to be verified, I was able to make the one purchase but now whenever I go to make a second purchase the complete transaction button is greyed out. Hopefully after that I'll be able to purchase more games, I had already loaded $25 dollars into my wallet was planning on a handful of purchases after I got the first one to work.

This is probably common knowledge to everyone else, but I hadn't noticed before. This month's Xbox monthly completionist quest requires 45 daily quests. I don't usually bother with the daily "earn an achievement" quests, so if anyone else is like me, better start earning those.

If you hit Diamond rank in Xbox Ambassadors last season your one month GPU code should be available now.

Thanks for the heads up on that. Out to March of '26 for my subscription.

I've only used my main 19 year old account to redeem with. In the past 2 years I've had dozens of visits to the Middle East, Japan, Turkey, Argentina and Basil all with no issues. I've played Cyberpunk, Baldur's Gate 3, Elden Ring, Midnight Suns, Terminator, Diablo IV, The Atari Collection and many many more on vacation. Never a worry on my mind. Now me yelling at some asshole kid on Apex Legends and getting banned for harassment is a whole other problem.

That quest is actually a new quest, supposedly to offset the removal of the 250-point weekly quests that are now gone. So, if you can muster more than a dozen achievements in GPU games in a month on a regular basis, it's more or less the same number of points per month.

It's the same quest name as before, just rebalanced since they got rid of a couple weekly quests and raised the daily requirements.

If someone was doing all the quests, in a 4 week month, they come out slightly ahead, 1,760 to 1,725 (not counting dailies). For a 5 week quest month, like we're currently in, advantage to the old system, 2,000 to 1,800. Presumably can't miss any weeklies from here on out and can't always skip the GP achievement dailies.

Spoiler

3 Dailies	10	20
Earn Your Way	10	20

[Freeze Time]

I just log in everyday to get my achievement, open different GP games, make sure I have solitaire open, play Jewel etc. I am not sure if I miss anything or not.

 

[bee01]

Still good. Got FF7 Crisis Core for under $11 after a dollar and some cents off.

Also Akai Katana Shin has a listing at $8.80, BUT 3 day delivery for those waiting on that on the cheap.

Had to step away but I'm shocked the coupon was still active now. Grabbed Batsugun.

Now me yelling at some asshole kid on Apex Legends and getting banned for harassment is a whole other problem.

I had to block all Xbox stranger communications thanks to Apex and Mortal Kombat. The you hear in Kombat League would have baited me into a ban. I probably could have handed out dozens of bans if I had recording enabled and submitted voice clips.

Using McPixel 3 to get daily achievements for the monthly quest. I had stopped doing daily achievements after the nerf to 5 points, so I guess they got me.

20 DRP. RIP 2024. 2025 will be my year.

 

[Deadpool]

It's not even like i say terrible shit like i used to. Now it's mainly "WTF is wrong with you? Do you even understand this game? Why are you out in the open? Holy pick up your teammate before looting for 30 seconds!" Your typical harassment. I used to talk about having gay sex with their dead fathers, oh no, that one guy you live with now is just the dude fell in love with your pregnant mother. That's why you don't really look like him. You never thought about that?

 

[Strider Turbulence EX]

I really hope we start seeing drastic cuts or sales on xbox 360 games and dlc before the summer. I honestly don't know why companies don't just reduce prices or put stuff on sale before July. There are so many dlc and games that probably had zero (or close to it) units sold in years, it seems like free money to just discount them and get people like me who just want to FOMO.

 

[gunstar808]

So what am I missing? have a code for turkey, my vpn says I'm connected to turkey, I check my ip it says turkey, when I go to to microsoft.com/redeem it says this code is geolocated and cant be redeemed am I missing a step?

I've encountered an issue like that before. Had to change my account region to match the country and then it redeemed. But it was pretty rare situation.

In your case, I would maybe test another VPN first.

 

[2ndopp]

Are any of you guys getting the caution symbol on all your game icons?

Caution symbol means "no license" I think. Usually seen when an installed game leaves GamePass. Haven't seen it show up on all games. Is it your Home Xbox? If not it might show the symbol when offline.

Otherwise, I would try a full shutdown. If still messed up you might need to restore licenses for some reason.

It can be games you have on disc as well. Usually that symbol is a circle with a triangle and exclamation point, but some of mine have switched to just a triangle and exclamation point. I think it's because I haven't played them with the disc since they entered/and left Game Pass.





Just last night I reminded myself about Antstream Arcade being on Xbox. How is that service doing? Does it live up to the hype? How large is the install on Series X? Is the emulation good over streaming? Any games missing compared to PC version?

I think AWP has it, anyone else?

I see there is a $29 yearly and $79 Lifetime choice. I think I would do Lifetime, pretty sure I've never seen it on sale.

I have redeemed all my overseas purchases on my main account. The way I see it is that it's only an exchange rate thing and the developer gets paid the full amount when the currency is converted.

The BC version goes on sale, but the 360 version doesn't. At least from what I've seen.

 

[gunstar808]

Oof. Guess I'll just pre-prepare that possible kick to the balls now.

I've bought from that guy quite a bit and no issues yet.

Do you just login to your main account and redeem like normal codes? I know you need the vpn but do you need to change anything with region within your account to redeem?

 

[Mr_hockey66]

What was the VPN or tour guide you guys recommended for phones?

Urban VPN. It's free

 

[FamedGuardian]

Does this work well with Egypt? I see it as a listed country.

Oh, indeed. If you read the previous page, someone mentioned that there may be some issues with Egypt but I think it should work.

Figured it out with Lat VPN. A seller has BG3 for $10.99 and it redeemed fine!

MEIN GOTT that game tanked FAST! Last I saw it was like $15 at the lowest.

I tried playing Garden Story but the nauseating performance made me nope out. Also way too much text for that style of game for me.

 

[Freeze Time]

I finally decided to play a Steam quest game for alienware and I played Cross Out for over an hour but nothing happened. I then realized I didn't have it all set up right with certain settings so I make sure everything was good to go and played for over an hour again. I closed out the game and it's now been 2 hours since and I haven't gotten the 25 ARP. It says it takes an hour to update. In your experience, does it take more? It just says to play for an hour but does it mean a certain mode? I went to the garage and messed around shooting at those other truck tank things.

 

[bee01]

New rumor that a GOTY-level Xbox exclusive is coming to another console (thought to be Hi-Fi Rush to Switch) is making all of the 'Microsoft is leaving the hardware market / going third party' posts blow up again.

I usually set up the weekly game as my "Choose your own game", which means I need to download the game and then wait about an hour to sync my games so it shows up in my list before I can click start quest. But at least then I know it is all connected to my steam account properly. I usually just leave games on the title screen for an hour.

Interesting rumor. Don’t think it’s a bad thing. Ori also came to Switch. Hopefully lead to some other Nintendo collaborations.

The main source of the rumor also said that it may be to get interest for a sequel that would be exclusive to Xbox.

What games have Nintendo brought over to Xbox?

Well, they did work with MS to get Goldeneye on both systems.

In any case, I’m sure this is more of a financial decision than anything else. Nintendo exclusives make plenty of money on their own.

If it's anything other than Ori on Switch, I'll be disappointed. Ori was one of the few bright spots to come from the Xbox One generation. Moon Studios basically bullied and blackmailed Microsoft to let Ori go multiplat and MS caved and compromised allowing it to go to Switch. Moon finding out the hard way that going Indie isn't so easy when they could have just had their game funded by a trillion dollar company. Instead they're probably looking to make some money to fund No Rest for the Wicked.

Xbox is healthy, Game Pass is great, they have more development studios than at any point in their history and yet Xbox Series consoles are selling less than Xbox One! No way Xbox lets even a single game go mutliplat under Peter Moore. Playstation is allowed to have exclusives. Nintendo is allowed to have exclusives. Only Xbox is not allowed to have exclusives.

 

[Freeze Time]

@guessed That worked thanks. I chose the game as my daily steam game to play and it worked. Did the same when clicking on the actual quest for Cross Out and it also worked. I just put some weight on the D key on the keyboard since the game would log me out if I was idle for too long and not sure if it would have counted so just went to the garage/free roam or whatever it was called part and just had the car accelerating into a wall for an hour. I tried the Steam quest right when I started doing alienware stuff but it never would register any games so I just figured I didn't have any it liked. Well, not it actually shows some games so I will definitely be taking advantage of more points. What is strange is that the other quest game is Battlebit remastered but the game is in early access and the only way I see that you can play it is to buy it. I won't be doing quests like that.

The fact that Series hardware sales are so poor does make me wonder how much of a stomach Microsoft has for continuing to develop new hardware. Day 1 PC and rumors of their exclusives going multiplatform sets an expectation for people to not need Xbox hardware.
