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 ...

Game Pass potential departure dates​

Last updated - 2025-01-10
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.

With the current economical state of the world it’s hard to even guess what’s going on with those games.
I Can still see Wolverine making it this gen. Perfect Dark in my heart of hearts I feel best case scenario will be a launch title for the Series XX or one of those games that they'll say they're working on for the next few years, but nothing to show.


Hope people didn’t buy the ps5 slim 20th edition hoping to swap plates with their pro. Sony out here scamming.
Did people really think you could?? This is a company that sells a premium controller that costs $200 whose solution to stick drift isn't to add Hall Effect analogs to the controller, but make it so you can buy additional replacement analogs to swap out instead when they do eventually drift.
 
Bioware has consistently had LGBT romances in all of their games since KotOR (excluding Anthem and Sonic). Inquisition had a trans NPC tied to one of the party members 10 years ago. The lead writer for the first 3 Dragon Age games is gay. Broadening out to more WRPGs, the creator of Fallout is gay. Some of New Vegas' best characters are gay, in a game without romances. Baldur's Gate 3 and Cyberpunk both had trans and gay characters, as have many WRPGs for the last 20 years.

Ummm, did they had lecturing for misgendering someone in all of their games? I'm not sure why you even brought all of that up, completely irrelevant to why people don't want "escapism entertainment" to mold into twitter or an amateur level play complete with fanfic level writing. Also Inquisition was received poorly too, as was DA2. "Button = awesome"
None of this stuff is new, and acting like this is a change for Bioware is beyond ridiculous. Oh no, they put a few inclusive options in their first ever character creator that is more than just face sliders? The horror.
Except... it is new. You just said it yourself, as they added it in and it seems an audience of players do not like it. Anyone who has paid attention to this company is aware a lot of important people have left as well, to claim it's just the "same old Bioware" is lying.

Devs are people, they all make literally all types of games, good and bad.
But in this case it couldn't possibly be bad?

Pretty textbook bad-faithing here, block and move on, and yes I see it unlikely me saying be bigger.
 
People who get outraged by fucking video games are the dredges of humanity. If a game is too woke for you or not woke enough, please go get a life. Go outside. Literally touch grass. There’s your precious “escapism” right there.
Phew, I bet all the murderers, arsonists and pedos are glad to hear they arent the worst people anymore. It's people who get mad about video games who are!
 
Saving up for a second curved monitor? :cool:

I got 500 DRP.

How is the monitor lol I have yet to set mine up too much work!

Also whomever, it was that bought the Dell Mouse for $15 with $10 gift card. I had to contact customer service to get the $10. So, don't forget!

Thanks for the reminder - Looks like I never got the $10 from that.

Ok they’re better than literal murders and pedos if that makes you feel better.

Still the height of pathetic though. Never thought I’d see the day when millions of actual gamers would just turn into a bunch of Jack Thompsons constantly bitching and moaning about their own version of obscene content in video games. Every. Single. Week… There’s a new moral panic about some game having pronouns and rainbows or that game being racist or some main character being too attractive or not attractive enough. And it’s all just so meaningless. I guess this is just what it’s like to live in post-scarcity society. People live in relative comfort now compared to 99.99% of all humans that have ever existed, so everyone just yells at each other about imaginary nonsense online just to pass the time.

Actually you know what, I’m offended by this new Dragon Age too. The fact that Veilguard is now just yet another bogstandard dumbed down action game and has none of the tactical options of the old games deeply triggers me. Is there a support group I can join? Or better yet, a shrill angry YouTube channel that can keep me constantly enraged and upset at all times?
 
Ok they’re better than literal murders and pedos if that makes you feel better.

I will agree with pathetic. Everyone needs their side to "win" so if they see one side give their view they need to jump in and be louder, and then the first side needs to counter that and before you know it its just a bunch of people screaming and yelling about nothing.

I am not offended by the new DA but I will not buy or play it. Not because of any woke additions to it but because the last DA game is so bad, they lost me as a fan.
 
Did you completely forget Mass Effect Andromeda? The "hate"/concern is 100% justified. I can only speak for myself, but it's good that you're excited for it but you can't simply deny people being burned by that game and say they're wrong because you're "hyped".


I wouldn't say it's anything bad to be weary of this considering Dragon Age is forcing a lot of this gay/trans messaging in their game and appealing to "modern audiences" has stripped away plenty of series main attraction to the game/gameplay over the years. I'm not even sure how you could possibly argue against this, as Splinter Cell is the one I think of the most. It basically turned into a 3rd person shooter instead of a stealth game. I will say this too, despite what most people in this thread might believe. Gay, trans, or minorities can and have made terrible products. No one is immune to being human and having flaws.
BioWare hasn’t released a good game in a long time. Ive never cared about the different romance options in their previous games because it was your decision who you romanced. It wasn’t shoved into your face. Having a two minute lecture about dead-naming in Veilguard is fucking ridiculous. Then add into the other issues people listed from preview codes and it sounds like another AAA fail. In DA: Veilguard you can’t actually play a bad guy, there are almost no choices that effect the game and party members will never be disappointed with your choices. That’s the farthest thing from what I want in an RPG from BioWare. Then there’s the cartoony looking characters, how they’ve ruined the Qunari and how stupid the Blight look. If this game is still someone’s cup of tea, cool for them. To me and others, this is the last nail in BioWare’s coffin.

Attitudes like this are why it continually needs explained.
 
Daily login minimum is 14 except for the few days with non-ARP reward (today's login was 24), 6 daily time, 15 daily Twitch. 28 weekly for the games (sadness if more than that). 80+ weekly Steam quests, bunch of Discord polls for 5+ each, 150 from the community event this month.

The people at the top of the boards earn 2500+ ARP a month.
Where do you find the Discord polls? TIA
 
It's amazing to me all the complaining about Veilguard. I am sure it is going to be like when critics bash a movie and then I go see that same movie and find it entertaining. I am sure that is going to happen here too. I am not looking for some hidden message/ agenda. Simply looking for some fun, It can be filled with messages like Metaphor Refantazio or just simple like Astro Bot. Neither of which alter my opinions because I am enjoying the medium.

Granted, I almost quit Ghosts of Tshushima When they killed your horse.
 
Really hope they don’t put the codes on the outside of the bags again this year.

More importantly, I hope 1 month Ultimate codes are a thing again. With how tight MS has been , hope gamepass and xbox credit are even a thing in this promo this year.
They don't have a choice really. Pretty sure not only is printing on the inside of the bag more costly but would probably break a few FDA laws.

I still haven't done anything with my 1TB XBS from last year that I won. I should probably sell that soon, whoops.

I wish more people had this thought. They're fucking videogames. Pure entertainment.
 
EA/Bioware denied review codes to anyone who was even mildly critical of the game so don't expect the review scores to accurately reflect the state of the game. CEOs often get financial bonuses based on higher metacritic scores. I just went to see if ACG's review of Veilguard is up, looks like he didn't get a review code either. Best to wait until more trusted reviewers get their hands on the game.

The issue here (and extremely relevant this week) is that BioWARE is in trouble having not had a hit since. . .well I've never been a super fan so I can't say, but the point is sales are all that matter. Reports were that pre-order sales were soft and they're fighting for their lives at this point. The call from leadership was likely to ensure it sells with strong reviews, because they simply couldn't afford to have lesser review scores going into the holiday season. Player's wallets are tight so people no longer just buy anything they're interested in and instead rely on sure bets.

This year has been a purge for AAA and when Ubisoft is still on the chopping block, bet your ass BioWARE could be next.

I was both surprised and not that they couldn't make the transition to cash shop. Those reports of $400m to make aren't going away either, with development being just half the cost in that figure. And yet, Sony wants to continue chasing the dragon on this one. They're so desperate to have a cash cow that they chase trends vs innovate. Fools.
 
100% Frog Detective last night. Super short game, but stretched it out for the achievements and such. It was really everything I thought in charming character designs and funny writing carrying the whole game and goddamn it did. Nice slow change of pace from nearly every M rated game and gory movies/shows that I've been taking in.
 
I learned about a new indie game today that looks fantastic. Made by the developers of Pumpkin Jack which I really liked called Akimbot.
It looks like a fun tribute to Ratchet and Clank games and reminds me a little of Metal Arms Glitch in the System.
It is on sale for $14.99 for a few more days so I cashed in some rewards and picked it up.

Akimbot
 
The ‘arena-connect’ channel in the AWA discord
Nice, 10 points today for that. My accumulation rate for ARP will change with Chai Stones and this. I was making enough to get the Dell credit every quarter, but now I will have extra. What do you all use your extra ARP for? Seems like a Steam game periodically is a decent choice

The player count was too low for a F2P transition to make sense. The options would have been either let the game flounder at $40 for months while they implemented F2P monetization, or make it immediately free and lose money every day running the servers for months until they could get monetization in. Fortnite basically did that when they launched BR, but it's not a very smart move in the very different situation Concord was in.

Even if they tried, I don't think that studio had the chops to make cosmetics people would buy. Out of the top-tier unlockable outfits they had, only 2 or 3 looked good.

I don’t need it to be explained to me because it’s been shoved down everyone’s throats for at least the past 5 years. These excessive pronouns and genders are a small minor of the population that has been propped up as some dire social situation in media and news. It’s completely reasonable to not want modern issues like this shoved in a game. Video games are for escapism. Why would that crap be in a medieval fantasy world? It breaks the immersion of the game.

I guess Monster Hunter flopping finally led to the partnership with Capcom ending. I wonder if this will lead to a new game, maybe a collection at least.

Not a fan of the guy for the most part, but House of the Dead is such a low stakes and near non existent lore of a franchise that it'll be hard to mess up. In the very least as bad as he is at majority of his movies, he won't be making anything close to the worst movie in the franchise thanks to Uwe Boll.

That all said, have the characters kill zombies via a Dreamcast strapped to their back and a keyboard in front of them and I'll declare it the best movie ever.
 
All this talk of the new Dragon Age makes me hope Dell puts it on their website so I can use my credit to buy it!!!

I started playing Metal Slug Attack and it’s certainly a mobile game ported to Xbox. I don’t know what to make of it really. I was super frustrated playing it for an hour until I realized I needed to grind and now I have auto battle turned on and the game is just playing itself at this point and I…..like it? There is certainly something that is stimulating my brain when I open their loot boxes to get new characters to use in battle. Then I just listen to classic metal slug noise while I do tasks on my computer and the game plays itself.
 
I'll continue to defend ME Andromeda whenever it comes up.

Yes, it had a lot of glitches at launch, but they were patched and the final version is fine.
Yes, it failed to live up to the majesty of the original ME trilogy, but very little could and in that regard it never stood a chance.

But the combat is excellent and exploration is fun. I maintain that if it had been a brand-new IP and not the sequel to some of the most highly regarded games of the last 25 years, it wouldn't have been judged so harshly and would have more of a cult following (ala Binary Domain and other B list classics).

Finally, the easiest way to weed out echo chamber Youtube channels is to ignore anyone and anything that uses the word 'woke' unironically to criticize anything.

*deep breath*
I hope that the new Dragon Age is so woke that
there are no straight people and your character has to inject cross-sex hormone therapy in order to heal during battles, kinda like in Far Cry where you administer emergency pain meds, but instead it's estrogen.

I hope it's so woke that they have micro-transactions in order to continue your game when you lose a battle but you can circumvent them by saying 'Black Lives Matter' into your headset and everyone who doesn't like it can pay $0.99 instead.

I hope it's so woke that there are multiple guilds to join but they're all represented by more obscure pride flags for things like demisexuality, agender, pansexuality, etc and when you join them those traits get added to your character, and it's all optional but if you choose not to join a guild out of protest for wokeness that you can't get the best endgame armor.

Thank you for coming to my very woke Ted Talk.

It's a weird time. Now that Western game development has to focus on actually shipping great games once again!

Yes, wallets have tightened. I've noticed that sales are down almost everywhere when it comes to collectables / the aftermarket. People are buying less, and they are already subbed to so many digital services. You have to make a great product now in order to get sales.
 
At the same time 2024 has been an absolutely astonishing year for high quality Japanese titles.


Japan has fully mastered AA game development the last couple of years. Some of you may or may not like that. But that's where we need to be with most domestic studios, who aren't putting out bloated budget AAA games. Dev cycles need to be trimmed. Products need to ship complete, and polished.

The downfall of the service games industry has actually been quite satisfying. It finally happened.

Don't say that! I want that HasLab Ecto-1 to hit its crowdfunding target.

Oh man! Are you a fellow Marvel Legends enthusiast too?? Yeah, that thing is super cool. I'm looking at the NECA turtles street diorama that just got relisted for preorder again, myself.

I haven't even had enough money to spend on new Legends, SWB, or X-men '97 figures I've wanted this year. Thank god Hasbro has had to slow down on their figure output finally. Have you noticed how they have been struggling too?? It's a really weird time. These are like the after-effects of the previous couple of years of post-COVID business.

That's Sega, they've been godlike since the 80's with consistent bangers. If anything, that output is lower than it was in the 90s and 00s.

Some of those HasLabs are incredible and I wish I could justify the cost. I love that Ghostbusters one. It is probably one of the few I feel I could display well. The Ghost from Star Wars Rebels looked great and the Razorcrest was awesome but I have no where to display them. The Galactus and the Giant Man figures are really well done. I have a friend who got both of them.

I love collecting stuff but I try to limit myself now to specific Black Series characters, Marvel Legends I get cheap at Ollie's and Jada Toys Mega Man and some of the Street Fighter figures. I got the Franken Berry Figure from Ross for $11 a week ago and it is awesome. I also love the NECA Iron Maiden figures.

Andromeda was a ton of fun and I played it at launch. The one stiff faced NPC didn't bother me.
Dragon Age removed gender restrictions for companions in the new game. Anyone can bang anyone.

A lot of Hasbro toys ended up at Ross last holiday season. So far not too much this year.

I'm not into the Marvel stuff, though I did preorder that Dragon Man because it looked cool. But I'm all over the Transformers (obviously) and G.I. Joe Classified stuff. Got multiples of each of their HasLabs. The Joe Dragonfly should be shipping soon. Went in on the Ghostbusters HasLabs, with the trap / PKE meter also shipping soon. Have backed off on the Star Wars collecting because a line needed to be drawn somewhere. Picked up a few things here and there, though I have backed most of those HasLabs. Didn't know about the Sail Barge, the first HasLab I became aware of was Unicron through the Transformers news sites I watch. I have the Razor Crest and was in on the Ghost and Cantina. Even backed the Black Series Rancor that failed, but not the Reva light saber.

Was a bit surprised Big Bad Toy Store got an exclusive on a rerun of Titan Omega Supreme, but was glad to see it because that was the only regular release Titan I'm missing.

I saw Hasbro has gone through some layoffs. Prices go up as well. I was in a discussion on another forum about the prices of Titans, and someone said they doubled in price in the last few years, so I had to check. Metroplex released in 2013 at $125 MSRP. Sat at $150 for a few years, with Devastator, Fort Max, Predaking and Trypticon coming each year from 2015-8. Then a bump to $160 for Omega Supreme and Scorponok in 2019 and 2020. $170 for Black Zarak and the Ark in 2021. Then straight to $200 in 2022 for Cybertron Metroplex, and has held there since for the Guardian Robot, Nemesis, Tidal Wave and the recent reissues of Fort Max, Scorponok and Omega. Not quite doubling, and it occurred over the course of a decade. I've seen rumors of Star Convoy possibly being the next Titan, curious what that will be priced at.

They said they'd slow down, but it doesn't seem like it with Transformers and G.I. Joe. Got plenty of preorders out, and they revealed the Studio Series Devastator last weekend, with some components going up for preorder a couple days ago. But Hasbro owns G.I. Joe and their collaboration with Takara on Transformers probably has fewer limitations than what they have to put up with from Disney over Star Wars and Marvel. Pretty sure some of those HasLab failures were because of Disney. Setting higher prices (Ghost Rider), pushing Reva's light saber while the Kenobi series was going and not including Malakili (Rancor Keeper) or Oola (the green slave girl the Rancor ate) for the Rancor HasLab. Not that there aren't restrictions with Transformers or G.I. Joe, but Tranformers is legal (G1 Megatron's gun mode) and it's understandable that there's apparently a Hasbro mandate preventing a hooded Cobra Commander figure.
