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.

This is for people who need to watch the bandwidth usage:

For the quest to install 5 different games from mobile app - you can "install" the ones that are already installed on your xbox; the phone app doesnt recognize the ones that were directly installed on the console.

So, it will register the fact that you initiated the install from the app but really there is nothing to install.

Ignore if its already known to you guys. Also, remember the Chilean miners? Well, 'em...who cares.

 

[PatFortenbaugh]

 

[XzMrHitDatHoezX]

Welcome back Pat,Now where the hell you been all this time?

 

[FamedGuardian]

Is the ‘Ultimate’ title by your username on the Xbox dashboard new? Gives a little flair I guess

 

[mr.Dobalina]

How are your backlogs fairing this year?

I only have Hollow Knight, which I am currently playing. I don't have anything after that to play...I don't have a backlog. Sometimes I envy people with more games, but then I realize it would give me an insane amount of anxiety. So I just grab one game at a time until completion.

 

[p0rn0saur]

Yeah my backlog is just forever growing now with GamePass, and I'm fine with that. 85 levels down in Hyperdot, curse that game.

I only have Hollow Knight, which I am currently playing. I don't have anything after that to play...I don't have a backlog. Sometimes I envy people with more games, but then I realize it would give me an insane amount of anxiety. So I just grab one game at a time until completion.

I am in awe of your restraint?

I’ve gotta know....how do you choose the game each time?

Hollow Knight is so good; I lost myself in that game and loved it.

If you want a backlog- invest in Games with Gold. Otherwise stay far, far away. I have the same thought process regarding games and prefer to take my time seeing everything. This is why Game Pass is great for a taste of something and I buy *maybe* a single game each Quarter

I’ve gotta know....how do you choose the game each time?

It took me awhile. I basically went and crunched down and finished all the games that I wanted to do in my backlog. Anything that I felt didn't value my time or if I caught myself forcing myself to enjoy them, I cut them out and got rid of it. It was hard, but I'm much happier with where I am at. Now, I look at these sales and go, "ok, will I have time to play them soon?" If yes, I tend to wait for another sale to see if I truly want them. If no, well I just move on. As for picking a game, once I am nearing the end of a game, I can assess what I am in the mood for and gauge from there. If something has caught my eye, I'll look at it again. A trailer, browse CAG or reddit to see if it would interest me. Then I will just either buy the game or utilize GamePass. Thats what I did with Hollow Knight. I beat Star Wars: Jedi Fallen and wanted something much different. Kept hearing great things about Hollow Knight and bam...26 hours later, I am still hooked and loving it. To each their own with this stuff.

That sounds awful. I just mass a ton of games and play whatever I feel like on a given night and don’t worry about whatever never gets played before I die.

I like my way, it works with my brain. It allows me to fully enjoy each game. As I said, to each their own. Nothing but respect to each persons choice.

 

[darthfracas]

So in the last 24 hours, I got all achievements in Catan, watched the final episodes of The Clone Wars, and finally watched Rise of Skywalker.


It’s been a hell of a day....

Oh, and a job interview tomorrow.

Not sure how I can keep up this pace.

 

[The Brief Chef]

I can relate to the above.

Over abundance of.choice is debilitating for me when it comes to Video Games (singular experience) but my digital movie library (shared experience) is 380+ deep and easy for me to jump in and out of

 

[Zantra]

I've been buying DVDs and Blu Rays of full television seasons from the Dollar Tree, because our town is having massive street construction during the lockdown, and it keeps knocking out the Comcast internet across the city. Yesterday we had no internet for a solid 13 straight hours. You never realize how many games and services on game consoles use the internet, until you try to do anything that isn't playing a DVD or a Blu Ray movie.

 

[Dustinator]

I Kinda feel backlogs don't matter anymore with Game Pass. Did a game we beat on Game Pass ever really exist when we never really owned it?

Not to argue with you, but is that not how we view Netflix, Hulu, Disney + etc? We add it to our "list" of items to watch & its then backlogged so to speak. Even when I paid $2 to rent a flick from blockbuster for a week....heck, games cost more to rent then($4+), but you get what I'm suggesting yah? We have access to play, but if we dont get around to it....missed opportunity. Then we gotta pay to play, watch, listen to whatever form of entertainment.

Hyped for these next few days. Mortal Kombat 11 dlc announcement tomorrow, then the XSX showcase the following day, woot woot!!!

It reminds me of what my wife would probably want me to do with my game buying habits. With how cheap digital games are sometimes I just end up massing them. With kids though it’s nice because now they can always find something to play that they haven’t tried before. Your way might work for me if I was the only gamer in my house, even then though, I like jumping from game to game.

To all of the people who responded to my post, maybe actually read it.  And then go refresh your memory regarding Microsoft's initial announced policies.  Half of you seem convinced that there weren't going to be disc-based games anymore and that you needed to be connected at all times.  Somehow this got turned into an argument about an all digital future even though I didn't say anything about that.

The main thing I liked about their plan was the ability to shop around wherever you want and use whatever discounts or promotions you want to get physical media, and then you get to bring it home and install from the disc to save on bandwidth, but you still get digital rights.  And then on top of that, you could share the game for free with other household members.  So a scenario could be that a household uses GCU to buy the latest COD, but they only need one copy.  They pay the $48, then they share it with a household member and can play online multiplayer together at the same time on separate machines.  That would have been awesome.

The reason people jumped on your comment is because you called anyone who didn't agree with you a "vocal minority" and "online idiots." And now you are accusing anyone who replied to your comment as being the problem for not reading what you said. Maybe you need a little self reflection.

As far as your latest comment, there were never any real details on how the family sharing was going to work, because the family sharing feature was just thrown out there to try and get the disastrous negativity to stop. That said, even if you could get retail discounts, it still would have prevented the ability to resell a game because once the digital license was used the physical copy was worthless other than to reinstall the game, much like a PC copy. Remember them trying to get in front of that issue by saying they would partner with GameStop to somehow allow you to sell a digital license? That was also not a real thing and just thrown out there to shut people up. And also it still would have meant rental services like Redbox and Gamefly were out of the question. The whole thing was a mess and nobody, not even Microsoft, had a real idea of what the final product would look like and how it would work and that is why their story kept changing and that is why it was a PR disaster.

Being able to sell a game you are finished playing and using that money to get a new game is also awesome.

Thanks for answering. Glad you’ve found a way to play games thst makes you happy.

 

[Ryuukishi]

I've been getting better with my backlog. For a long time I was still buying Nintendo and Playstation games that I barely touched. Now I've mercilessly trimmed those down to a bare minimum. I seriously own like 2 PS4 games right now and it's awesome. (The influx of eBay cash doesn't hurt.)

Even on Xbox I've been trying to cut down my library. I had stuff like a sealed copy of Batman Arkham Knight sitting on my shelf collecting dust for years. I got it in some random Best Buy sale for like less than $10, so it wasn't a bad buy. Finally came to the realization that I didn't ever want to play it, so why even have it.

I'm not the kind of person who can play one game at a time though. I always have like 20 going. And I get random ideas like "This week I want to finish Assassin's Creed, a game I last touched in 2014," and then that's what I do.

 

[nny]

I envy the concept of not having a backlog, but I don't know how that's even possible in today's world. For instance, there's so many games now that never end. There's always more Apex, Warzone, Hearthstone to play, not to mention all the mobile games out there with endless content. I know many people wouldn't throw those games in their backlog, but when I'm deciding what to play each day, I always have to add them into the equation and it is a bit overwhelming.

Finally, Final Fantasy IX!

 

[gamegirlpocket]

Nice. FF9 is still very good, but having replayed both it and FF7 in the last year, I think FF7 has actually aged better despite being more primitive graphically. FF9 is worth playing and has really great characters, but as an end-of-gen game it was pushing the PS1 hardware pretty hard and load times were pretty bad. If you're coming off of FF7R, FF9 is going to feel like its moving in slow motion. 

These could have been fixed for the modern ports (remaster would be a generous word to use in this instance, but there are some minor QOL updates and character models look much better) but load times into battles still take awhile, and the ATB system itself feels slow as well. Thankfully, the music and characters are as charming as ever, so there's still a lot to love.

I'm into it, even though FF9 was my least favorite numbered FF game at the time. Haven't revisited it since the PSX days, so this will be fun. Also I'll never turn down another 1-hour completion walking simulator.

 

[Strider Turbulence EX]

Fractured Minds is one of my favorite walking sims.

 

[gamegirlpocket]

"Fractured Minds is an immersive artistic short game, exploring anxiety and mental health issues. Embark on a journey through the human psyche to experience the everyday challenges associated with these conditions."

So it's a game about my work and personal life? Cool! 

They also shared GPU perks, which this month is 6 months of Spotify Premium for new subscribers, which is actually pretty cool, and more PSO2 stuff.

Spoiler

This month, Ultimate members in the US and UK can play their favorite tracks offline, anywhere, ad-free with Spotify Premium for 6 months. Additionally, Game Pass Ultimate Members in France, Germany, Australia, Mexico and Brazil can enjoy Spotify Premium for 3 months. Only new Spotify Premium members are eligible for this Perk.
 
Plus, Phantasy Star Online 2 is back with a monthly bonus including rare drop boosts and more! Plus for those who haven’t grabbed them yet, you can still get an Ori-inspired hull, flag, sail, and figurehead in Sea of Thieves, 5,000 MyTeam points and 30 skill boosts from NBA 2K20, a Warframe Xbox Starter Bundle and other great perks!

Side note: tried to look up the MK11 trailer on Youtube and got a bunch of channels that weren't the official one, IGN and GameSpot have already reposted it and they're the first hits, followed by "reaction videos" which I will never understand. Do people really want to watch some guy in his basement shouting every time something mildly interesting happens in a trailer? #getoffmylawn

As somebody who was a writer and editor at the time, I remember. I also remember knowing a mandatory check-in every 24 hours in areas where broadband was and still is spotty would make the machine useless.

Here, let me help you understand something. The way they developed it, if you do not get online the machine will eventually erase your stats, leaderboards and achievements to make way for new. Still, to this day. I know because it happened to me. Designing a machine wholly dependent on our backwards infrastructure is insane.

In your cost saving scenario, how good is it if you can't even log in to Xbox Live to verify digital rights? That's what the majority threw a fit about, not being able to log in and play legitimately purchased games

 

[p0rn0saur]

Definitely will be checking out FF 9, only one I've never at least tried. Fractured Minds was free at some point for some reason. No interest in Dayz on a console really surprised that never got a Win 10 store version seems like a better fit there. I'd assume RDR2 will be another 4 month stay on GamePass.

Looks like a solid 2/4 of the additions for me.  Good to see.

I Think it's fine when it's something natural like a large crowd (remember those?) that is there to watch an event and not some random jack ass playing up their reactions to get views.

To be fair I think they will have more than 3 characters over time, most likely 6 like Kombat pack 1. Still a little rich for my blood, not a big fan of Warner Brothers Interactive's DLC practices in general but besides everyone saying something about Shadow of War they mostly seem to fly under the radar.

 

[BobbyTastic]

Doesn't seem like it. They would have teased "with more characters to come" since the release is in less than a month.
Keep in mind they released 6 characters for $40 alone (which was already highway robbery). Seems they peg the story DLC as being worth $20.

 

[juanlien]

Thanks, Bloomy.

IMHO that honor goes to FF6, but I still have plenty of love for 9. I'm still grumpy S-E hasn't released any of the additional games on consoles, despite them already being on PC and ports would be super easy. I'll even take the less desirable art style for the Steam port, just take my money.

Maybe it's already missing 1 character that was data mined last year, and leaked again in a corporate email that got sent out a month ago to IGN. They got Fujin and Sheva right on that one.

The Aftermath pack includes the three characters and an additional story mode for $40. The new stages, stage fatalities & friendships will be a free add-on releasing the 26th of this month. It's also worth noting that all those characters and the story will drop the same day. So it won't be like before where a dlc character was released every two months. It took a year to get 6 characters.

I'll bite the bullet and buy the Aftermath pack, but it won't be a hit to my pocket as I'll use MS Reward points. Hopefully there will be a discount in a few weeks on points. If not, no biggie. Day One purchase for sure
