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 - 2024-05-21

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.

For me, this approach from Microsoft works great for me. I’ve loved the Xbox since the first system came out. Just like this past generation, I was going to wait at least a year before getting the newest one. With all the upgrades, fixes and revamps to all the consoles in the past two generations I have a hard time jumping on day one. As nice as some of the exclusives the PS had, I have no interest in them anymore(especially since MLB the show might be coming to other consoles.) I’m fully content with my Xbox X and Switch for about a year and a half to two.

 

[bardockkun]

All I see is a bunch of you guys moving over to PS. I'll be around, with Bloomy and may be the Masters dude, keeping the xbox flame going.

Don't worry, I'll whore myself for all the consoles. Plenty of armpit and feet space for Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft to get into and even non terrible classic consoles (that's right giant Capcom Arcade Stick thing, you too, if you hit $60 or so you can get all up in my kneepit). Yes, yes I needed to make it that graphic and disturbing just because it was the only way.

 

[p0rn0saur]

The emulation is horrible on that giant "stick".... those Arcade1up new "visual" pinball cabinets after modders get a hold of them, now we're talking

I can't believe MS is seriously releasing a super console with no exclusives.

After all this talk of buying 3rd party devs and all the criticisms this gen about lacking exclusives. I mean damn, there is no reason why their unused IP shouldn't be on the level of Nintendo and Sony properties at this point.

It is quite laughable. There is zero chance the PS5 doesn't launch with any exclusives.

 

[bardockkun]

The emulation is horrible on that giant "stick".... those Arcade1up new "visual" pinball cabinets after modders get a hold of them, now we're talking

That's disappointing to hear about the CAPCOM arcade stick...$50 than for my kneepit. I Feel I want that partially for Alien vs Predator, but mostly just so I can figure out some way to hang a giant CAPCOM logo on my wall. I Like the concept how some houses have random flags hanging up, but mine just has a giant CAPCOM logo adorning the walls.

And I like the concept of getting those Arcade1Up machines (especially the visual pinball and Star Wars), but there's no ing way I got room for that.

It's not the same thing. With previous Xboxes, Microsoft was still putting out new titles for the next-gen Xbox. The original Xbox didn't have Gears of War. Xbox 360 didn't have Forza 5. Series X isn't getting anything for at least a year or two after launch. I think a lot of people will wait to pick one up.

Actually this might be a very smart idea for profit. Consoles are sold at a loss the first few years until chip prices come down. Microsoft lost around $125 with every 360 sold at launch, Sony lost $240 with each PS3 sold. The Xbox One cost $471 just to make each one. Business insiders are predicting large losses with the next gen systems. In the past, getting a large install base fast so that they could profit off the games was important.

Now if you're like me and many other gamers, you'd stop buying or at least slow down buying games the year of console launches to see which games would have upgraded ports. So the game companies would have slower games sales in their current gen leading up to the new system, and a small user base at the start of launch. Effectively, they were starting over.

This time, it looks like the X1 and XSX games might be from the "same package." Meaning you would grab the same Xbox One green case physical copy of a game as you always have, but the game would install the Xbox One version or download the X-Series files as needed. Microsoft retains their user base and appeases early adopters of the Series X. If you don't want to buy the X-series at launch when it's sold at a loss, that's fine to them. But no one will be scared to buy games that might be on the next system, like they used to be. You'll already have the next gen version of the game ready to install when you upgrade. They sell games, they win.

It will be interesting to see how it plays out

 

[p0rn0saur]

Why would I buy games I already have on Gamepass?

 

[gamegirlpocket]

Don't worry, I'll whore myself for all the consoles. Plenty of armpit and feet space for Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft to get into and even non terrible classic consoles (that's right giant Capcom Arcade Stick thing, you too, if you hit $60 or so you can get all up in my kneepit). Yes, yes I needed to make it that graphic and disturbing just because it was the only way.

I think your sex ed teacher made a mistake.

Early this morning the site was having a bunch of issues. I had to take their quiz like ten times before it checked off the list. It is on their end.

 

[darthfracas]

Why would I buy games I already have on Gamepass?

I think this is the biggest reason MS said what they did.

As for the lack of XSX-only games at launch, I’m fine with it. My biggest complaint with the last generation transition was the number of games that were either released for both systems or simply HD ports of previous generation games. If I recall, Forza 5 was the only big X1 “exclusive” for quite a while. Fallout 4 was the first game that made me say “alright, time to get on the new generation”, and that came out 2 years after launch.

Then again, I’ve never been an early adopter of consoles. The GameCube was the only system I ever bought at launch, mostly because I worked for FuncoLand at the time, so I got the discount on the games. Beyond that, 2 years is my usual adoption time.

 

[gamegirlpocket]

I'm usually two years late to each generation as well, but discounted XBL money and MS rewards may change that. We'll see if Staples does their annual, insane discount on space bucks in the spring.

 

[bear489]

Has anyone notice the get a achievement each day for 50 pts is broken? Last week it didn't register 3 days but this week I was able to claim the pts without earning a achievement for the last 2 days. I don't know if it's catching up for last week or it's broken again in our favor.

It probably worked itself out by the time you did your searches and tasks.

Early this morning the site was having a bunch of issues. I had to take their quiz like ten times before it checked off the list. It is on their end.

I figured, but thanks for the confirmation. When I was having the same issues you mentioned in multiple browsers and apps I assumed it was something on the server side. This is the first time I had this sort of issue. The XBox app is really bad because I assume it is just crashing since I was getting booted back to the dashboard with no error messages whatsoever. That is pretty poor programming in my opinion.

 

[SIX min WHISTLE]

If PS5 can play PSOne games, that means it can play music CDs, and that is better than the last generation. I like being able to listen to music, while playing games. That's one of my favorite Xbox features. Not sure why they felt the need to remove it after the PS3.

I'd imagine you're in a minority at this point. CD sales are through the floor now, I think vinyl actually matched or surpassed them. Personally I'd prefer the option to run music off of USB storage while playing games. I don't really like the streaming service "solution" a few games have had, like Forza.

Gearbox is only publishing Godfall. The dev team is Counterplay Games. Their resume is a dead (no updates in 2 years) F2P digital card game, Duelyst, and having employees that worked at other studios. They also only have 75 employees, which is likely not enough to make regular content if it is a looter game.

I'm not saying the game will be bad, but I'm keeping low expectations.

For me, it hasn't registered right away. I usually wait about 30 mins before I try to claim it and I have to click it a few times before it registers. I usually try to unlock an achievement around 8PM PST and when it turns midnight I claim it for the next day, and that one checks off immediately.

Once the combat tutorial has finished DO NOT sheathe your sword, you want to continue practicing. Now allow Vesemir to attack you and perform 10 Counterattacks in a row without taking damage. This will earn you the Trophy;

Continue practicing, but this time perform a Counterattack, Attack, Cast a Sign and Throw a Bomb within 4 secs. May take a few tries but just keep at it until you acquire the Trophy:

It's also coming to PC via the EGS so if you already have a capable PC then that's a much cheaper way to play it.

Got an email today saying that if you log into DC Universe Online before January 31st, you get an item that makes one of your heroes the max level in the game for free. Because it's the game's 9th anniversary.

 

[p0rn0saur]

Yeah they give those out annually it seems, so you could complete the achievements easy like if you were on top of it. I was not.

I got stuck on a mission around level 30 which was obviously meant to be played with a team, but I never found enough people to group with, so I just gave up on the game a few years ago on PS4. But, with the free boost, I might pick it back up again, or start a brand new fully leveled character on Xbox One.

This might have been covered already (I've been working a lot of overtime and haven't had time to look at CAG much this week), but you can do the "Team of 2019 punch card" Microsoft Rewards app offer to earn 5000 Bing points simply by spending $2.49 on the 250 FIFA points, going back to the offer on the Microsoft Rewards app, and then clicking the button that says "Play the game." 

I saw this on Slickdeals this morning, so I tried it earlier today.  I don't even own FIFA 20, and I have no intention of ever buying it, but I got the 5000 points right away.  Apparently, the 250 FIFA points are only $2.24 if you have EA Access...which I don't.

This, exactly this. I think we're at a point in gaming where visuals have plateaued and hardware is finally on all the same page. They spent so much time last gen focusing a lot on retro and bringing old games back with remasters that it would be silly to toss all that away again. And the same goes for moving forward in an effort to double-dip on game sales through BC. I fully expect to buy current gen games now and be able to play them enhanced on PS5/XSX, just like the mid-console cycle refresh worked this gen. This does set an interesting dilemma for console makers however, as people stop finding a need to upgrade consoles at launch when the only benefits become hardware related.

I'm looking at 2020 as a chance to potentially sit back and watch how things play out rather than rushing to buy a new console. If Xbox continues dominating my time with GPU, I might upgrade for that feeling of bleeding edge once again. Or if PS5 begins to add exclusivity of games I want to play (doubtful) I might want to upgrade there. Maybe I end up seeing zero reason at all and just skip this generation because games look plenty good to me, especially when my favorites have all been done with gameplay as a focus and not ing tech demo bragging rights.

 

[Sielanas]

I'm going to do my best to skip buying on launch since I do have an X now. Maybe it will let me actually hold out for a SE console.

I bought an X during the BF period for this reason.

Will probably pick up a Series X/PS 5 in 2021/2022.

 

[Zantra]

I'll probably pick up the Xbox Series X slim, or Xbox Series X X a few years down the road. Just got my X in December, and with the hundreds of games on GamePass, I will be busy for quite a while.

 

[Razzel]

[Sielanas]

Shit, you're right. I have a vcr original and a white S that I can trade. I might do that for a PS5, feature dependent.

And listening to another analysis about the "no console exclusive" hubbub, why do people need new phones? Largely they don't, they want them. Imagine if all their match 3 games didn't work on the new phone. Oh console wars.

(Directly thinking about my wife thinking about phones, constantly playing Frozen, Candy Crush, I swear she has 4 different match games that she rotates between. I've tried to get her to try other stuff, not interested. Simpsons Tapped Out, solitaire versions, and match 3. Honestly I envy her a little. She's genuinely happy with what she's playing and doesn't have a backlog to think about. Although she had me change her pw to stop her buying microtransactions, so yeah predatory mechanics)

 

[jimbo8574]

A big reason people upgrade phone is battery life.  After 2 or 3 years the battery starts to suck on most phones.  For a while they were adding decent new features but for the most part that seems to have slowed down.  Every once a while there is a new camera advancement or something that makes people interested in upgrading.  

I am not convinced I need either console at launch.  I will see how it plays out.  What the prices and features are.  XBox Series X being able to suspend more then one game is pretty cool.   NVMe storage for both is really cool too.  

If GameStop has a good promo I could see upgrading either my XBox One X or PS4 Pro.  Can't see doing both though.  At least not at launch.

 

[idogames]

Either that or they break them. Since the phones are made of glass. Front, back and sides now.

But actually the battery in my S7 Edge expanded to the point where the glass cracked on the back and separated the front and back. Picked up an open box S10 Plus for under $500. Wasn't super happy about it, but I'm liking the camera upgrade.

That being said, I'd rather upgrade my console than my phone. My phone only gets upgraded out of necessity.

I just swapped out a guy here at work who had an iPhone 6 do this as well. My boss had a battery replacement tool kit (minus the battery) so I was able to open it up. That battery really ballooned up. First time I have seen this on an iPhone battery. Have seen it on other phones though. Was well past time he got an upgrade anyway.

 

[The Brief Chef]

Regarding replacing/upgrading consoles, I'm happy with my X and will sit on it well into the new cycle of consoles.  I'd rather wait 2-3 years so that the everything gets streamlined instead of dealing with all the hiccups accompanying the usual console launches.

I noticed that last week so everyday I click it and its hit and miss, but I have definitely gotten points on days I havent gotten an achievement.

 

[chriscolbert]

I've always supported both MS and Sony, and while Sony has a plethora of exclusive single player games I'm drawn to my biggest vice every year is MLB The Show. I could take every other game I played last year combined and multiply it times 20 and I still wouldn't touch the hours I put into The Show.

With that going multi-platform in 2021 I may skip out on both systems at launch assuming my X is still alive and kicking since I prefer the controller.

Of course if there are exclusive features or better framerates on the new systems then I would have to rethink that.

Exactly. There’s usually some hardware issues for the first couple of batches and after those are fixed there is the redesign.
I’ve listened and watched some discussions about this and someone brought up a really good point when they said this is a very consumer friendly move on Microsoft’s part. I totally agree. Whether that’s intentional or not, it is.

My problem is I have a newer 4K TV, and haven't upgraded my launch PS4/Xbox Ones to their 4K models because the new systems were on the horizon (bought the TV about a year ago). So I'll probably get them near launch, as much as I don't want to
