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 - 2024-05-28
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 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.

I have played all the Gran Turismo games since the PS1. Tried for the first time Forza with Forza Horizon 4 on game pass and stopped after 10 minutes because of the cringe/atmosphere. The 30 FPS on the Xbox One VCR did not help either.
 
Is Forza Horizon 3 like this?
 
It’s racing game, but shouldn’t be compared to GT as they are completely different games. If you are wanting a racing sim, play Forza 6 or 7. The Horizon series is more of an open world arcade racer. On the One X, FH4 looks amazing! FH3 is also a lot of fun and is my personal favorite. If you’re playing on the VCR Xbox, this will have better performance. It takes place in Australia and has an awesome Hot Wheels dlc.

Question about the Destiny 2 content that is now available on Game Pass (console only)

I have an existing PC account that I haven't touched in a couple of years.  Never migrated from blizzard.  Just looked into this and apparently I can still migrate.

Should I migrate this account to the xb1 platform?  Or does it not matter since the game is now cross save with linked accounts?  I'm guessing my account will only be able to access the Game Pass content when launching through my 1X?

This is probably just a me thing, but I think Horizon is still very much a racing sim game, at least much more that than a racing arcade game. I have the same control issues using my controller in both series. I think the biggest difference is that Motorsport is mostly relegated to tracks while Horizon has lots of off-track exploring to do.

If you want to start playing Destiny 2 again and want to keep using your same characters as opposed to creating new ones I would recommend following these steps:

  1. Go to https://www.bungie.net/7/en/PCMove and migrate your game save from battle.net to Steam.
  2. Go to https://www.bungie.net/7/en/CrossSave to set up Cross Save with these characters so you can play them on any linked platform.

Of course, if you already have Xbox characters, you'll need to choose which set of characters to set up as your Cross Save characters (Xbox or battle.net/Steam). Any other set of characters won't be deleted, but they won't be accessible unless you change your Cross Save settings.

And yes, you can only access the expansions that are on Game Pass only through Xbox right now. Bungie has mentioned bringing these expansions to Game Pass for PC, but as far as I know there isn't a Windows 10 version of the game (only Steam) so that future is unknown. To expand on this, you owning a license to play these expansions on Xbox (via Game Pass) does not give you license to play the expansions on your other platforms without separately procuring a license specifically for that platform. This is probably too wordy of an explanation, but basically you would still need to buy X expansion to play on Y platform.

FYI - Starting with Shadowkeep (Season 8), Bungie changed their concept of Season Passes. It now acts more like a Battle Pass from other popular games in that you now have a free progression track of rewards and a paid track of progression rewards. Fortunately, if you have purchased a Season Pass for $10 on one of your linked platforms it is available on ALL of your linked platforms.

Am I missing some slick websites that detail all the insides and outs of the next generation of consoles coming in about 6-7 weeks?

I can’t remember knowing so little about a launch in regards to titles, power, backwards compatibility. Hell Sony has a headset and camera with absolutely zero info on at least known to me. The coronavirus excuse is dumb because apple pulls that shit off. We should all be able to go read up on these things.

You can already kinda do this with the OneCast app, but I’m glad Microsoft is finally bringing this to the Xbox app...
 
Also with destiny 2 now on gamepass my pal told me I should download it so we can co-op. I checked and it's 108 gigs nowadays. Before I download is destiny 2 any fun yet? For reference I hated destiny 1 it's whole life for it's complete and utter lack of story and minimal repetitive content but destiny 2 has been out for a while. The shooting always felt fun but the rest seemed meh to me? What's the consensus on it these days?
In the TWaB from yesterday, Bungie explained (in gory detail) some of the technical changes they will be making to the game when it launched for next season (November 10). Part of these changes means that the installed game will be much smaller (~70GB instead of over 100GB). So that's something of a small consolation, but unfortunately the underlying changes means that everyone will have to re-download the entire game when it launches.

If you can spare the bandwidth and time, I recommend getting into the game because it can be very fun with a friend (and even more fun with two friends). There are still some aspects of the game that require six people, but if you feel up to it you could always LFG.

 
A lot of 360 games, and even original Xbox games are still pretty damn expensive. That's why I'm shelling out more for the disc drive version, so I can play my old discs, instead of rebuying them digitally for a ridiculous amount of cash.
Isn't an extra $200 plus tax also a "ridiculous" amount of cash?

Mostly because they are removing 2 DLCs and several launch planets and will rotate them out at some point. If you play Destiny 2 now, it won't be the same game in a few weeks.

Now what about Destiny 1? If I have never started it or 2 is there any reason to play it at all at this point? I have no reason to believe I will ever dedicate enough time to either one to get the full experience, but I guess I should probably at least try one or the other someday.

I recommend reading the TWaB for the full skinny, but this is what I'm referring to:

Bungie said:
Destiny 2's install size shrinks by 30-40%: Due to a combination of culling unused or replaced content, install size optimizations, and moving some content to the Destiny Content Vault, Destiny 2’s install size will shrink to between 59 and 71GB (depending on platform), a reduction of 30 to 40%. These improvements should also help us control install size better in the coming years.
It's a lot more than just DCV.

Destiny 1's campaign is worth playing through, but I don't know of a cheap way to access it. But the game plays way differently than Destiny 2.

I'm pretty sure I've got the base game on disc probably from a 4/$10 used sale or something. I'm not sure how much of the game is on the base disc versus expansions that I am not likely to buy. I'll probably take a crack at it before I fully transition to all digital later this year just so I can dump the disc.

The second DLC Subject 2923 contains its own story campaign separate from the main campaign. I finished it last night and it was great. It has a bunch of new weapons, enemies and bosses and a entirely new map to explore.

The Swaps DLC is not a good because it just updates the Corsus Campaign by added new dungeons, enemies, bosses, and rewards and adds a new Survival mode. It was still fun but doesn't have a lot of added story or lore.
I'm finding a ton of the Corsus stuff is in most endgame apocalyptic builds though. Slayer set is pretty much mandatory for a sniper build, including the crossbow if you can aim well (no hit-scanning).

 
Is anybody else curious as to Panzer Dragoon Orta was leaving game pass but now it is staying. Just saying this as Dishonoured was leaving game pass too then it wasn't. Because MS Bought its parent company. Right after TGS. Confirms MS has now purchased SEGA! It maybe wild speculation but...I'm hoping that its true to add their catalog to gamepass and gamestore.
Just sucks when they tried to resurrect that franchise, nobody bought it. Same happened with Valkyria Chronicles, tsk tsk.

Them being on Game Pass would be awesome for sure, but I can't exactly think of a Sega property I'd want to be revitalized at this point. : \

 
New MS store worked well for me at first. Loaded very quickly but now it’s slow and buggy as hell. Maybe because it rolled out to everyone?

It’s still better than the PS store. That is a load of crap.

Looks like no ME3 multiplayer sadly.

The primary factor holding up development, beyond the pandemic, is the original Mass Effect game. It currently does not live up to the quality of the rest of the package.

Mine is still working well. Hopefully it stays that way.

Not surprised the original Mass Effect might be holding the back. I love that game to death but it needs more than a reskin in 2020.

Honestly though I'd be happy if they just added auto-saving and a way to sort inventory.

Lots of new/sealed copies of the full collection on eBay for $20-30. It's still available digitally but for the full $60.

It doesn't. It runs smooth as hell. I totally disagree with her assessment. Check it out for yourself before you judge.

Umm the vertical menu on the side, the size of the icons / large squares, and the way content is sorted looks way more like the PS4 store than anything the Xbox store ever resembled.


For the record I think it functions just fine, but aesthetically it looks like they used the same blueprint.

Don't blame the fans because Microsoft released a shitty game that nobody bought. Crimson Dragon scored extremely poorly and was marketed really really badly! Not to mention that the controls for the 360 version required the kinect and we all know how that went!

Also the Ultimate Dragon in the game was tied to some monthly event and is no longer available to people who purchase the game and for that I fart in Microsoft's face! If you're going to completely abandon a game at least make all of the content accessible to everyone.

The audio in the reveal trailer at E3 didn't even work and they didn't even bother to fix it and re-show it properly. Game was DOA. It never stood a chance.

I'll believe the ME changes when I see it. They'd have to basically rebuild the game from the ground up to "fix" the stuff they're talking about. Even if they imported the combat from 2 and 3, the have to redesign most of the combat encounters as the levels in ME1 were not designed around using a cover system because it was pretty badly implemented. Other than that most of the issues are technical stuff, growing pains from the game being the first shooter by Bioware.

Visually I don't really think it's that far off from the later games, it's more that the art style was dialed in by the time came around. What that says to me is that these were intended to be pretty bare bones ports that just scaled up the resolution and performance, but the textures in 1 don't scale well compared to the later games. A lot of the issues with ME1 in modern HD are easy to see if you play or look up videos of people playing the PC version in the past couple of years.

No. Because it's three times as powerful as the Series S and also plays 4K Blu Ray movies, and won't look like dogshit plugged into a 4KTV.
 
Because as someone who has done way more beta tests and ndas then you know, coming onto message boards and bragging about them after you know that's the exact opposite of what you "just signed" is rookie level shit. And let's not even get started on the other posts. I know what kind of person I am at least
I never signed anything for amazon, I just got an email about it. Putting words in my mouth is also a form of lying. So, stop lying.
 
How long until Microsoft buys Asobo? Sure they've mostly been a support studio/port house the past 10 years but 2 back to back hits like A Plague Tale and Microsoft Flight Simulator prove they are better than just that.

Well, just got an email from amazon saying that it's possible that I may not get my xbox on release day and that they're trying to get more inventory. Wonder if this was sent to everyone that placed an order or just people that may be effected. Sure do hope I'm able to get one from my local chain.

I'm still surprised if anything that they haven't bought Dontnod yet since they're always on Game Pass and not like they need a high budget as well.
 
Also, do people keep forgetting that the Series S has a tiny SSD? You'll have less than 500gb of space for games. The Series X is worth the extra $200 just for the fact that it doubles that hard drive space.

Actually I misread what you posted, that is on me. You said you would be signing an nda if picked. Got that mixed up, I'll at least own my mistake. You still do not run to message boards talking about this shit.

Worth is different for everybody. Not everybody has the same amount of disposable income. Those who are able to afford both consoles on launch are lucky especially in this day and age. Not much value in picking up a Series X yet if you only own a 1080p TV and I can see the $200 savings being put towards the mid gen refresh when that undoubtedly comes out with the larger SSD when more exclusives come out.

Good point. A Plague Tale and Microsoft Flight Simulator are fantastic pick ups for MS. Asobo are to MS what Bluepoint is to Sony.

I got one also. I didn’t order the PS5 from Amazon, but I remember seeing those that did all got similar emails.
 
My guess is 0, people give moms a bad rap, if dumbass gamers can figure out the console naming convention I guarantee these moms dealing with kids during Covid can.
So how do you explain why X1X's were selling like hotcakes when the preorders for XSX launched on Amazon? If Moms and dumbass gamers have it figured out, who was buying all those X1X's?
