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.

Well, the three searches per 15 minutes kicked in on me today (in the US), no notification or anything but I tested and verified the time frame as well. What's really annoying is when it's on cooldown from desktop, mobile searches don't count at all either. Luckily I'm less than one day's worth of searching from being able to order three more months of game pass and I can just go back to never using bing again after that. I'm sure the desired effect is for everyone to switch to using Bing and getting search points "passively" but no thanks.

The MS Rewards 15 minute search cooldown finally got me...

Some rumors about the backwards compatibility team spinning back up. Wouldn’t be surprised if they take Nintendo’s lead and make new titles exclusive to Game Pass.

I strongly doubt Xbox would follow that lead. It's largely criticized for Nintendo but they can get away with because of who they are and the games they have. Literally no reason to pivot to that model if they sell the games at a decent price on top of GamePass inclusion.

 

[Gideon68]

Search cooldown got me, too, on both mobile and PC. Not worth it anymore.

It might be the easiest way to circumvent licensing issues. Selling a product and profiting from an IP you don't have the rights to distribute usually means a new contract to sell / distribute and probably some form of profit sharing OR lump sum up front.

Adding to a subscription service, though, can in theory circumvent this since they aren't being sold. I'm pretty sure that's how the licensing issues around Goldeneye were resolved, it's not technically being published.

if it's a choice between those games being available in some form (esp. some of the Marvel games) or being trapped to used markets, I'd be glad for them to be on Game Pass.

Not surprised, but I'm still going to miss it over Keighley Fest.

I do not do 35 internet searches a day on any search engine aside from getting my points here. As soon as this cool down period gets to me I can finally switch my default search engine back to Google and stop getting such terrible search results!

Count me in Club cooldown, sure is chilly here

And if I do 35, even legit, they’re usually done in clumps. I’ll do like 10 at once if I’m looking something up. Not 3 every 15 mins

So I've not played BG3 at all and I think I've seen bits of gameplay here and there. If I'm not mistaken, BG3 combat is basically the Divinity Original Sin games with a coat of DND. Is that a good way to describe it to someone?

Probably but, honestly, I’m was never a big fan of CRPGs and the combat system is so much smoother and well done for a console that I love it here. It’s easier to get a handle on it than any game I’ve played like this.

 

[deszaras]

Just got hit with the search cooldown for Microsoft Rewards. 3 searches per 15 minutes. Sad, very sad!

Hit me too. If I sat in an office it’d keep doing them but I don’t. This feels like a disincentive to search.

It might be the easiest way to circumvent licensing issues. Selling a product and profiting from an IP you don't have the rights to distribute usually means a new contract to sell / distribute and probably some form of profit sharing OR lump sum up front.

Adding to a subscription service, though, can in theory circumvent this since they aren't being sold. I'm pretty sure that's how the licensing issues around Goldeneye were resolved, it's not technically being published.

if it's a choice between those games being available in some form (esp. some of the Marvel games) or being trapped to used markets, I'd be glad for them to be on Game Pass.

I don't know, I feel like this would still be some complicated contract so why not seel itnas well. You can buy "access" to Goldenye with Rare Replay, new or used, which is different than the Switch release.

The only other weird releases like that were the retro KI games that used to be included with Killer Instinct, and the totally free Too Human due to legal restrictions.

 

[briandadude]

Literally no reason to pivot to that model if they sell the games at a decent price on top of GamePass inclusion.

Microsoft has made it clear their primary goal is not hardware or software sales. Their goal is that buttery delicious recurring revenue known as Game Pass subscriptions.

Still only shows top 3, and the share card is only top 1. Mine says I only have 338 more hours in games that aren't Fortnite, which doesn't sound high enough to me. Indodnhabe roughly 2 months spent on PS5 for BG3, add 200 there any maybe it lines up I guess.

1. Fortnite
2. Overwatch 2
3. Midnight Suns

I wonder what the split is on old, BC games for GP though. They've said like 50% of users use BC in some way, but that's pretty vague. I can't imagine it alone would drive too many GP subs.

 

[ChefMason]

Most played games
1. Starfield
2. Cyberpunk
3. CoD
(According to TA review CoD was my #1 most played)

 

[HaloGX]

According to Microsoft, my most played game is Solitaire at 68 hours. Sure...because I use it for Rewards, but even then that seems high. My third most was LEGO Star Wars the Skywalker Saga at 29 hours (after Starfield at 31 hours).

Seems more accurate this year than in past years.

Top three games Xbox Year in Review

1. Remnant 2 -70h
2. Diablo 4 -60h
3. Dead Island 2 -53h

Top Five from PSN Wrap Up.

1. Midnight Suns -112h
2. Final Fantasy 16 -75h
3. Star Wars Jedi Survivor -57h
4. Sea of Stars -51h
5. Horizon Forbidden West -43h

 

[bardockkun]

My top games this year are...

1. Microsoft Solitaire Collection
2. Gears 5
3. Like a Dragon: Ishin!

 

[gpn]

Microsoft had Solitaire as my most played too, and just as I thought, Starfield and Fallout 76 were also high up for me this year.

 

[Gideon68]

My top 3:

FH5 588 Hrs
FH4 193 Hrs
Solitaire 93 Hrs

Top 5% for Hours Played, Gamerscore, and Achievements Unlocked

Most played genre - 72% Racing and Flying as evidenced by my Top 2 games played

"Sorry for the whole ruining Rewards thing for allot of you, but HEY THE THING YOU'VE BEEN ASKING FOR BACK FOR STRAIGHT UP YEARS IS BACK! WE CARE!"

It actually shows you how many MS Rewards points you earned in 2023 so worth checking out.

My Top 3 most played games were

Skyrim
Starfield
OVERWHELM (Just a PC Game Pass game I used to pop the play a PC game quest daily)

Diablo IV is probably my true 3rd most played game.

 

[awp]

Mine says my top three were

1. Diablo IV - 56 hours
2. Resident Evil 4 - 42 hours
3. Cassette Beasts - 40 hours

That last one is wrong. There’s no way I put 40 hours into Cassette Beasts. Maybe 5 or 6 at most. It’s a great game but I bounced off to even better indie RPGs.

Know I played Alan Wake 2, Sea of Stars and Chained Echoes way more than that. Maybe it continued to clock in Quick Resume?

PS5 top games:

1. Baldur's Gate 3 - 46 hours
2. Final Fantasy XVI
3. The Last of Us Part II Remastered
4. Stray
5. Final Fantasy VII Remake

Overall, played 142 hours on PS5 vs. 621 on Xbox Series X.

 

[62t]

1. Chained Echos 50 hours
2. Eastward 28 hours
3. Fuga: Melodies of Steel 23 hours

Sold or not, it's all subject to licensing. Heck, pirating isn't selling, but the industry is definitely against that. It's all whether the companies involved can agree on the money. Some stakeholders may ask for too much at the start, relative to the others involved, and eventually decide to lower their demands when they accept getting a smaller amount is better than the nothing they'd get if the property isn't leveraged at all. With Goldeneye, you had Rare / MS, Nintendo, MGM, Danjaq and maybe whoever had the current James Bond video game license if their licensing deal legalese promised exclusivity.

[The Brief Chef]

Less then what I did last year, but overall pretty accurate- I've played a ton of 'Lies of P'

FH4 193 Hrs
Solitaire 93 Hrs

Top 5% for Hours Played, Gamerscore, and Achievements Unlocked

Most played genre - 72% Racing and Flying as evidenced by my Top 2 games played

I have over 100 hours playing Solitaire as well. Every second of that is just having the game open waiting for the Play a PC game quest to tick off.

I would compare BG3 combat to Xcom or other modern tactics games, if only because of the good controller support. A lot of the recent CRPG console ports are late conversions on low budgets, and feel jank as a result.

Thanks.

 

[darthfracas]

Xbox has my most played game as Sea of Stars at 55 hours. I believe that more than TA saying I played 96 hours of solitaire.

 

[dorikyasu]

Starfield - 164h
Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty - 78h
Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name - 73h

Didn't realize I spent that much time on Starfield. And I didn't even get all achievements.

Both my account and my GF's account got hit with the 15 minute search cooldown, neither of us got any type of notification, I just noticed our searches stopped working. Neither of our accounts finished searches the last two days, and will never finish if this bullshit persists.

My top 3 played games were expected.

Solitaire: 3389 hours That's open nearly 24/7 on my PC, either logged in as myself or my GF's account waiting for it to register play a PC game.
Fallout 76: 1003 hours I still play it nearly every day for the daily/weeklies to complete the Scoreboard, as well as the "free" premium currency. Still waiting for real story content instead of these bullshit Expeditions that are now coming in pieces because reasons.
Starfield: 193 hours: Would have been a lot more but around October I basically stopped playing games to focus on other stuff, and haven't gotten back to it. I was really getting annoyed navigating the galaxy map trying to find specific systems/planets, why the did they not just give us a nice list to scroll through?! I was also really getting pissed off at all the bugs, I have several unfished quests because of them. Bethesda needs to ditch this shitty engine already FFS, it sucks major ass.

I figured Major Nelson was retiring, but he's "advising" this company. Looks like a brand new publisher that has a beat-em-up in the works. Kind of sounds like a nothing position, he must know someone there or something.

1. Solitaire - 289 hours... (um I must have just left it running many, many days.)
2. Halo MCC - 16 hours (that's accurate)
3. Golf with Friends - 8 hours (that's accurate)

Basically, I don't play my Xbox much...

Bleh, as my wife and son’s account got hit with the cooldown but my account still ok (for now). Cashing out on a $15 and $10 reward on their accounts and will just continue the weekly streak for them on Xbox console. Although at the pace MS seems to be going with a scorched earth policy on rewards that will likely be nuked soon.

I still play Fallout 76 most days but I only have about 1/3 that many hours this year. I finish my score chores and take a break at the end of every season now. I'm playing the new expeditions but they just don't have enough content to justify long play sessions right now.

I put similar time into Starfield and I enjoyed it, but they really need to add some more unique content in future DLCs. I have a few achievements to wrap up but I'm not in a rush to revisit it yet. I don't plan to NG+ 10 times like it seems to encourage so I will definitely wait for mods to experience the upgrades that would have unlocked.

I'm curious how these are going to work. Like are they going to add in strumming and whammy bar stuff? They did say they're were working on instrument support but I assumed it was later in 2024, maybe they're just revealing them in January.

I get all happy when I see a new update only to realize every time that there is no new mission or quest or story mode so I tend to just ignore it. Just give me Fallout 5 already.
