Welcome to the Xbox Deals and Discussion thread.

General info
  • 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 - 2025-02-10
What is this?
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.

I played MGSV but wasn't a big fan of it. in Ghost Recon Wildlands I got the platinum on PS4. It was great. An absolute blast with 3 human teammates. But the AI is fun too. Once by accident I jumped out of the helicopter and was caught up in the blades. Crashing the whole thing to ground and killing my squad. The next few times I did it was on purpose. lol

My friends had no idea WTF was going on at first.

Is Wildlands free to play or something this weekend?

I downloaded Ghost Recon Wildlands to get the weekly challenge done. I decided to give the game a chance after that to see if it's any good and I am actually enjoying it. It kinda reminds me of MGSV.
 
Has anyone replayed Yakuza Like a Dragon? I'm thinking about buying it in the future when the Legendary Edition comes down a bit. Want to support my boys at RGG. However, I feel as though there's not too much replay value due to the way the classes are "balanced"; there are some very obvious classes that each character should stick with (basically their exclusive default class) but otherwise I don't need to meddle with other classes except to prep for certain encounters (other classes are just kinda memes and not really good)
The leveling system definitely benefits from not changing classes which is counterintuitive to having a job system. The best abilities and perks are only available if you stick with the same class for a very long time. Once you get into the end game, it's easy to switch classes and earn some permanent boosts in a short amount of time doing some grinding and that is worthwhile but for the most part the default class or switching early tends to make the most sense.

Edit to add - the game itself seems replayable though due to how charming it is and the gameplay loop being pretty satisfying. The writing, story, semi-open environment, it's just so damn good. If I replayed it, I'd probably choose totally different classes just to change things up.

It's on Game Pass and is the weekly quest for 250 points.

 
Limited Run Games announced a bunch of new retro ports. Unfortunately some stuff skipping Xbox like Tomba and El Shaddai.

Coming to Xbox:
Gex Trilogy
Clock Tower remaster
Jurassic Park 8/16 bit collection
Arzette: The Jewel of Faramore (from the person who remastered the Zelda CDi games, appears to be the same style.)

They also announced a formerly cancelled Shantae game coming only to Gameboy Advance. Presumably modern ports later, hope we don't get left out there like Shantae 1.
Very cool to get something like this but the lifetime $149 pass turns this CAG off. Retroarch is the best way to go. I already have these games and more.

Major Nelson was the voice of XBox during the reign of XBox 360. I really enjoyed hearing from him back in the day. Now I feel like XBox does not really have a spokes person like the 360 did. I know Phil Spencer is the face of XBox now, but he is not the personality that Larry Hyrb was in my opinion. Good luck Larry aka Major Nelson.  I miss the days of XBox 360.

 
I Was planning to replay it once/whenever I get a PS5 since I already bought it...again, but was going to do it with the DLC exclusive job classes since I hear they're OP so I think it'll be a good way to re experience it with at least a little something new.
Yeah that's exactly why I wanted the Legendary Hero Edition. Just want to spice things up a little if I ever got to replaying it.

The leveling system definitely benefits from not changing classes which is counterintuitive to having a job system. The best abilities and perks are only available if you stick with the same class for a very long time. Once you get into the end game, it's easy to switch classes and earn some permanent boosts in a short amount of time doing some grinding and that is worthwhile but for the most part the default class or switching early tends to make the most sense.

Couldn't have said it better myself. I knew something was "off" with the class system but couldn't really articulate it. You're right though. I think I only changed classes when it came to grinding the Battle Arena and other end game stuff. Otherwise I would try to stick to one class to get the rest of the perks from leveling up. It's hard to not want to choose the "optimal class" but choosing a different class would add to the challenge (which is what I want from the Legendary Hero Edition). Peerless Resolve from the Hero class is a bit essential though so there's no escaping that. Just makes for a strange and awkward leveling experience when you want to switch to another lower level class for the purpose of variety. But because you can just grind away I guess it's not really too big of a deal in the end.

Speaking of charming...I just remembered that I played the game with the Japanese dub the first time around (because of course). I might as well try out the English dub the next time. And then if I ever decide to learn Japanese, I can replay it in Japanese :bouncy:

 
Antstream definitely is a streaming service. Some of the small retro focused YouTube channels have been pushing it for a while, lots of sponsorships. Selection was pretty bad before, mostly the games you'd see licensed over and over to the AtGames machines or whatever

It looks like they might be doing a physical release for some reason?

Their website also says this, sounds sketchy:

Preorder Antstream Arcade on XBOX
and win a chance to get an upgrade to the Lifetime Pass Edition
*1 in every 10 pre-orders will be upgraded to a lifetime subscription

Again, do Retroarch. Trust me.

I tried Exoprimal and I'm not impressed. This feels like the first misfire from Capcom in awhile.
I think that's why Capcom put it on Game Pass. They probably knew it wasn't great and would just take a paycheck to mitigate risk. Also it's primarily multiplayer right? I think the last misfire was Operation Raccoon City even though that was codeveloped with another studio. Their multiplayer experiences are just kind of ass in general.

I'm still expecting some kinda bullshittery just because it feels like this has been going on for years upon years. Like FTC going to pull out some kinda rule when they were established in the 19th century where if the Series X weighs more than a duck than the deal must be stopped.

 
never see anyone posting getting cheap keys anymore? but i got front mission 1st remake for little over $12 with a turkey key, eneba is the site. i like to use  since it easy, tried gameflip but I never seen any deals i wanted.

little over 8 gig game size, love the games series decades ago, forget much about it beyond the mech vs mech rpg gameplay which i loved.

Front mission codes are going from 2.70-$5.00.

Use this site to get an idea of how much you can get games from other regions.

FTC: Xbox Series X turned me into a newt!

Judge: A newt?

FTC: ... I got better...

 
You really can't get refunds for games you barely played anymore? I bought Saints Row 2022 today and played maybe 30 minutes, and they denied my refund saying "refunds are not available for games that have been played".

IIRC you only get a certain amount of refunds a year. I think it starts at 3 and you earn 1 a calendar year or something to that effect. Also if it's a special edition and you use any preorder bonuses or digital downloads you will be unable to get a refund.

 
It would be nice if Microsoft would renew the licenses for the old Activision Transformers and Marvel games (and make the 360 only ones BC).  Also, make Guitar Hero BC and release an adapter for old instruments that doesn't cost $1000.

I have X-Men Origins Wolverine waiting to be played :bouncy:

 
I grabbed Spelunky 2 for the Game Pass discounted price just now in the middle of the night.  It's my most-played Xbox game, and it's never been on sale since it launched on Game Pass, but it's worth every penny to me.

I have 1 achievement left in War for Cybertron - complete the 15th wave of escalation (the game's Horde mode). Can be done solo, but takes about 5 hours. Was about 3 hours or so into a match, and when flying from the ammo station back to the safe perch, I hit a wall and clipped out of the stage. Couldn't find a way back in and couldn't attack anything within the stage. Could damage some enemies when they spawned outside, but then they passed through the barrier into the level and I was stuck. The time wasted really pissed me off. When I went back one weekend afternoon to do it, found the game's online was shutdown.

Still need 8 in 360 Fall of Cybertron as well, all discontinued MP achievements. Have the XB1 FoC, never started it, same 15 MP achievements are discontinued there.

For the love of God, make the xplorer guitars work somehow... I have about 3 of them and it's a tragedy how they can't be used.

I tried it for an hour and was just frustrated so stopped playing it. I doubt I will go back to try and beat it before it leaves Game Pass. I've heard such great things about the game but man, I didn't like it.

I kind of look at Spelunky 2 and the previous game in the series as metaphors for life. The point is to get as far in the game as you can, but you don't really win in the end. You just do less worse each time no matter how prepared you are.

I think the "looping" nature of the game play is what I enjoy. I also enjoy games such as Blazing Beaks, Gonner, Nuclear Throne, and Rogue Legacy for that reason.

That said, I've beaten the first Spelunky game multiple times on multiple platforms, but after playing Spelunky 2 almost every day since it launched on Game Pass, I still haven't beaten it. And likely won't.

There's a glitch right now on the MS Rewards store where the 1 month GPU gives you 3 months when you redeem it

Thanks, Kromis! And I didn't even have to set foot inside a Costco. :D/

Still works. Just did it.
 
Worked for me. Redeemed 3 and am good until May 2026. Redeemed a 4th one but it wouldn’t let me use it yet so hopefully it’ll still give 3 months when I can use it.

I *think* if they give you a 3 month code, it's going to stay a 3 month code. I don't think they can change how much it redeems for unless they give you a different code while you're not looking.

EDIT: Damn, Wario64 put the glitch on full blast now. Get in while it's hot folks!

OH. that explains a lot. I went to top off my GPU and right now it is 2 years 10 months. I bought the one month and it said I exceeded the limit and I cannot redeem it yet. Hopefully my code stays 3 months when I finally do redeem it.

 
Came to add to the glitch. Just did one, gonna try another. Yay for stacking points!

Edit: worked twice, but also note that it turns on recurring billing automatically. So head over to your account and turn that shit off before you forget in a few years and get charged whatever amount they decide to raise it to then!

Thanks - Topped myself off on GPU until June of 2026.

Still have 400K MS points left and the codes don't expire until 2025 so I might buy a few more.

This almost makes up for MS reversing the Diablo IV price error.

Oof.. Here I was thinking that my far away future expiration of GPU was years out. 2024 is less than 6 months away. Cashed out to July '25. Thanks Cags

 
Well I redeemed 1 year worth to save since my sub is maxed out. Hopefully they don't end up invalidating the codes or making them redeem as 1 month like they're suppose to. Guess I'll find out 3 months from now as I slowly add them.
