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.

Ouch. Got an email from MS thanking me for participating in Fan Fest and then offering me 50% off a commutative glass. How the rewards have fallen…

 

[bee01]

Seems like a typical Microsoft E3 - makes Xbox owners happy, tepid response from non Xbox owners.

I'll be upgrading to a Series X for FH5.

 

[awp]

Notice that everyone who loved the presentation is hyperfocused on the Game Pass part.
It was a great Game Pass presentation but a mediocre Xbox presentation.
I watch the Xbox presentation to see gameplay footage/game announcements of good FIRST-PARTY games. The occasional surprise third-party announcement is cool but we know they are either not exclusive or are console exclusive for no more than a few months.
I love Game Pass, I'm subbed for the next two years but the great value of Game Pass does not mean that MS is not continuing to have issues with their first-party output in terms of quantity and quality. Not that it matters since all first-party stuff is guaranteed to hit GP, but I would be more excited about amazing first-party games that I have to actually buy than goodish games that I get with GP.

I mean I would have liked the presentation regardless. Maybe go back and read some of the posts that actually praised the games (some of which DID look amazing) and not make assumptions?

I also fail to see how games like FH5 and Flight Simulator aren’t “quality”. Wow. And reminder that very few of those games were third party. Things like Starfield and Psychnauts 2 are first party.

Sorry that new versions of the same games Microsoft has been releasing for the past 10 years didn’t do it for me. Not really sweating it though, with Game Pass I can just let them sit there while I play things on PC and PS5. Some of it was impressive, but nothing grabbed my attention.

Hi - not really responding to you directly, but your point resonated with me. I feel like as each year goes on, it takes more and more to impress me. Part of it might be me getting older and having played more games, but part of it is also my personality... I like new stuff.

At this point I'm all Battlefield-ed and Halo-ed out. I've spent thousands of hours in those games and are not excited for them at all. Will I play them? Sure. But I'm not excited for them. Like, I'll drink water each day, but I don't wake up excited at the thought of "F yeah I get to drink water today."

Sure, there were new IPs shown off today. However, if Game Pass didn't exist, none of those got me excited enough to say I would buy them day one for $60. None of them had anything super exciting or innovative that grabbed me.

The only trailer that I even remember is The Outer Worlds 2 and that's because it was such an amazing idea for a teaser. If anyone hasn't seen it yet, I highly recommend it. Worth it!

Forza is Microsoft's best managed IP at the moment. Doesn't make all the other meh games go away. Flight Sim is already out, we're just waiting for a console port (which is taking far longer than it should have). I was counting Starfield and Psychonauts (which are only two titles against the tons of third-party ones, mostly Indies) but really, Starfield is a Bethesda game more than it is a Microsoft game. Psychonauts 2 is arguably also a Double Fine game more than it is a Microsoft game. Halo Infinite and AoEIV are really the only first-party titles releasing this year that weren't bought in the midst of development.
According to VentureBeat, next year should have Starfield, Redfall, Forza 8 and maybe Grounded, with the rest in 2023 which is why none of them made an appearance today. That is embarrassing, nevermind that I guarantee at least some of those 2023 games will find themselves slipping to 2024.

if anyone is interested either reply to this or DM me and I will give you the code.

Id love it

 

[darthfracas]

Wait, Forza Horizon 5 is coming out this year? I'm not even close to finishing FH4 and that game is massive. Was there anything regarding Forza Motorsport 8? This pandemic really messed up the timing of the release for these games.

Sorry, I didn't get to watch shows.

They announced a new Forza Motorsport game about a year ago (no number, meant to be a “reboot”). Not much news on it from TA beyond the initial announcement last year and some play test codes going out in the last couple months.

Rewatching the Forza Horizon 5 reveal trailer and thinking about one of my waifu cars knocking someone into that volcano as I laugh manically.

"IDOLMASTER F-F-F-FOR LIFE!"

 

[jbg87]

Show was ok to me. Starfield for sure is what I came for and Bethesda left me wanting more. I was disappointed in halo idk compared to the battlefield trailer I just seen a lot of 1v1 on screen instead of all out war.a plagues tale caught my eye and Forza looks great at every e3…I needed something else tho

Rewatching the Forza Horizon 5 reveal trailer and thinking about one of my waifu cars knocking someone into that volcano as I laugh manically.

See, now that would pique my interest … if Forza Horizon had more direct interaction with the beautiful environments, I think I’d be way more excited. Instead it just looks really pretty, but there isn’t much there there. The original Forza Horizon had this cool spirit/vibe that I’m not sure the sequels ever replicated for me. I just couldn’t get into 4 because, as good as it looked, it was boring to play. Had the same problem going back to Burnout Paradise … I miss the Burnout games with amazing damage and insane pileup crashes. Seeing that with modern day graphics would be incredible. But if it’s just driving around with nice graphics … eh, almost makes me want to just get in my car and drive in the real world.

 

[blueweltall]

Driving in the real world sucks though.

 

[awp]

I’m just going to post this here from the PlayStation centric Push Square site. 62% of their readers said the Microsoft showing was either good or very good. That’s pretty impressive for a non-Xbox centered audience.

(On a comparative note, only 21% said the same of the SquareEnix presentation)

Anyway, whatever…[attachment=35684:8735180F-D6A0-45C8-8C03-C87C1231C576.jpeg]

There is more info on Halo multiplayer from this blog post.

https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/halo-infinite-multiplayer-reveal

Notable new info:
-Training mode and Firing Range
-Multiplayer bots exist, sounds like only for custom games?
-12 v 12 Big Team Battle available at launch
-themed Season events, Crossplay and Cross Progression with PC
-LAN requires a PC server?
-Red vs Blue confirmed dead, Friend or Foe system instead. Essentially directly taking the system Destiny uses.

Overall it sounds good, there is some kind of presentation tomorrow to show more. Equipment sounds a lot more inline with what I would want than the Spartan Abilities of 5. Hopefully they finally get it right. They seem to have went out of their way to show that the missing stuff from Halo 5's launch will be there day one, like BTB and Assault/Ball modes. Not a word about Forge though.

Now I'm mainly worried about MTX. They said no loot boxes. It sounds like it will be the direct purchase route mist games use now.

 

[BobbyTastic]

Tbf, Sony isn't doing any sort of E3 thing afaik and it would probably be an even worse presentation (unless they really went for it in terms of Japanese third-party exclusives or threw out announcements for games set for 2025).
I really hope Halo Infinite is good. The initial mishandling of MCC, 4 & 5 really killed a lot of my love for the series.

 

[etcrane]

I would rate it somewhere between good and average. It wasn’t a bad showing, but I didn’t come away with much enthusiasm for this holiday season. Everything is on Game Pass, which is great, but it doesn’t really matter. Hoping Nintendo drops new hardware and BOTW2 to get me a bit more psyched for the holidays.

 

[inkcil]

I had no idea how to play that claw machine game after pressing the "play" button lol. 

 

[wormycoolness]

It was a good show! Very excited for FH5. I was still hoping for all the UbiSoft games joining gamepass. Doubtful at this point.

 

[blueweltall]

I'm pretty sure it's just randomized and there isn't actually any skill require.

 

[Sielanas]

Ignore the trolls.

I fail to see how something being on Gamepass is a negative. I don't know about everyone else, but I certainly don't have enough money to buy as many of those games as I'm interested in. I don't get upset when the new Netflix show isn't for me.

[Bryson]

That was pretty damn meh for me …

Spoiler

Take aways (blog incoming) …

Starfield doesn’t look exciting at first glance (but it’s way too early to form an opinion).

Stalker 2 looks as boring as the first games, which were only good at the time because there was nothing better.

Psychonauts 2 looks horribly dated compared to something like Ratchet and Clank.

Battlefield got my attention, ignored the trailer that came out last week, but it looks pretty sweet.

Fallout 76 looks phoned in now, and I say that as a huge Fallout fan. It just looks mediocre, not up to series standards … reminds me a lot of ESO … mediocre. Expeditions should have launched this year.

Halo Infinite … also still meh. Ark Genesis Part 2 almost looks more like classic Halo than Infinite does … it just doesn’t look impressive to me and I can’t quite explain why. It’s like they made an evolutionary game, but I think most of us wanted something revolutionary … at least I did, given how bad the last few Halo games have been. Never thought I’d say I was more excited for a Battlefield game than Halo.

Seeing Diablo II got me more excited than most of the current gen games … sad. But that’s what an AAA game will make you feel I guess.

Were Russia-inspired developers the only people making new games last year …

Outer Worlds 2 … cool (first game had some real issues though)

Forza … cool … I mean, it looks great … but those environments are wasted on a game where you’re just driving imo … you can speed by it or destroy it with your car, that’s the level of interactivity. Will still play, but not really excited. And piñatas and bowling pins … come on, how about car damage and more “fun” burnout-esque features.

Game pass is the real winner. Lots of games that look interesting but wouldn’t be day one purchases will be played much sooner. Which is great … but man, I really want that next gen system seller … and I still didn’t see it today.

Hate to admit it, but 2 for 2 in E3 disappointment (Ubi and MS … don’t really care about Gearbox). Looks like the pandemic did have a pretty significant impact on game development, which makes sense.

And that “one last thing” game … maybe I’ve aged out of the target demographic for what gamers get excited about these days … but meh. Edgy Back 4 Blood with Vampires and the cast of Sunset Overdrive. I know, I know, I’m jaded.

Comparing Psychonauts 2 to Ratchet&Clank is woefully unfair. One started off as a crowdfunding project sequel to a cult classic targeting the AA market that will be free on gamepass while the other is a much larger budget AAA project releasing for $70. Not the same thing at all.

For what it is, it could be much, much better … it’s not like Double Fine is some indie studio without access to development dollars. They’re now a subsidiary of Microsoft. I would attribute the visuals more to the fact that the game was delayed a few years more so than a lack of access to funding. I’m sure it will be fun, but I haven’t seen anything that would make me seek it out. Now if it were Brutal Legend II …

 

[chnandler_bong]

Check out Bosch on Amazon if you haven’t. He’s pretty much type cast in it as the main character’s Lieutenant. Does a good job again though.

I came for Lance Reddick, but I stayed for Titus Welliver.

[etcrane]

Yep.

Spoiler

I’ve found I don’t fully appreciate titles that appear on Game Pass. Something about the psychological aspect of getting something for free versus paying money with intent to buy a specific game.

It’s great to have Game Pass, as it’s a tremendous value and you get to try all kinds of games, both those that you would pay for and otherwise. With that said, unless it’s something I’m already excited for and have on my radar with knowledge that I would definitely purchase it, then it doesn’t really matter because I know I’ll play it a bit but not always to the extent I would play something that I specifically bought as an individual game.

I’m sure it sounds a bit crazy, but I have access to so many games between Steam, Game Pass, and various consoles, that it can almost cause choice paralysis. I don’t say that to brag, it’s simply the reality (as I’m sure it is for some other CAGs) that it almost becomes more fun to buy, collect and build the backlog than it does to actually play each and every game.

So yes, 1. Game Pass is an incredible value, the best gaming service on the market, but 2. It doesn’t always matter because it could have a billion games but I know I won’t get around to playing them and my motivation will be lessened because I didn’t buy those games with intent to play them.

I was hoping for more family friendly content...so it is me getting older; I just do not feel like shooting up stuff anymore and my preschooler likes helping me play.

It is awesome that so much new content is day one on GamePass... I have limited time to play games so it is great that I can try AAA stuff and not feel obligated to invest $60 worth of time to it if I am just not feeling it. The best thing about the presentation was the commitment towards GamePass by Xbox.

It's a bummer that Diablo II is not GP...I feel like I am going to end up buying way to many copies of that on multiple platforms...

I wish people would stop saying Game Pass games are free. You pay a subscription…

Anyway, very excited about FH5. Guess I better finish 3 and 4 before the fall.

 

[murphyspub]

I do? I mean I guess I did, when I bought all these Xbox live gold cards for $20 due to the Target advertisment error when Reach came out. Still living large baby!

They aren’t free, but it’s the same way that if you subscribe to Netflix, HBO, Hulu, etc all at the same time, you’ll inevitably start to take it for granted and forget to watch stuff. More choice means you have to be better at prioritization and some of us just give up. So if we locked in Game Pass for a few years, it’s the mental equivalent of free for many of us.

To be fair though, many of us paid almost nothing to have the service for 3 years. When my original $1 upgrade runs out I will feel the pain of paying for the service more.

My goal continues to be $5/month. At that price, I'll be subbed forever. $15/month would make me far more picky about when I was subbed.

Forza Horizon 5 looks way more detailed than I was expecting! I can't wait to jump into it this year! I've put over a hundred hours into each of the Horizon games. 

I'm looking forward to everything, super hyped! Anyway, I'm off to check out this freshly FPS boosted Evil Within 2 that landed on GamePass today.

 

[davemoseley]

I think this is one of the best E3's Microsoft has had, personally.  They've come such a long way since "TV TV TV".  Battlefield 2042, Psychonauts 2, Party Animals, Far Cry 6, A Plague Tale: Requiem (sequel to my favorite game of 2019), Forza Horizon 5 and Back 4 Blood are all must-plays. Sea Of Thieves getting a Jack Sparrow campaign will get me to check that game out again for the first time since launch.  Starfield and Redfall are too far out to get excited about yet.

Of all those games, I only have to buy two (Battlefield and Far Cry).  That's pretty damn impressive.

But Battlefield is an EA game so if you're willing to wait it's definitely coming to gamepass, just not day one. Same with Farcry if the rumours of Ubisoft joining gamepass is true.

 

[Razzel]

The Plague Tale sequel is a huge get for Gamepass. If you haven’t played the first one do so immediately, it’s amazing

 

[Donken]

The thing I left the conference thinking is that they had something for just about anyone. My kids loved Jack Sparrow coming to Sea of Thieves, Party Animals and Halo. I really liked watching the Halo stuff, Back 4 Blood, Diablo 2 remaster, Age of Empires IV, and that new vampire fighting game. I thought it was a great show with a lot of games. I’m happy to see lots of great stuff in the pipeline. I’m excited to watch Nintendo’s conference. I’ve been wanting to play Ocarina of Time on my switch legit. I’m hoping they have a way for me to do that sometime this year.

Pretty sure they mentioned quite awhile ago (Maybe when it was announced?) that it would be using an "updated" version of the creation engine, which should have died way back in the time of Morrowind. It really sucks considering how many basic things the engine just absolutely fails at. Still no ladders (WTF?) and not to mention how still to this day they can't prevent items or bodies from falling through the ground, which is even worse for Fallout 76 being an online game.

 

[lildirtygamer]

There's no excuse now for any of you to not play Like a Dragon. 2020 was full of great games and it was still my GOTY.

Mmm hmm, yes indeed! Now I can leave my Day Ichi Edition I recently picked up from BB sealed. I will be downloading and playing it soon.

I'm super picky about the RPGs I'll play. Like a Dragon and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt are definitely more my speed.

Edit: I'm also interested in Fallout, haven't worked up the courage to start playing yet.

 

[thundarr]

Loved the GamePass stuff but really feel like Xbox is missing out on single-player action-adventures. Sony still runs the table with Uncharted, GoW, Horizon, TLoU, Spider-man etc. Microsoft could really use a Nathan Drake but the closest they’ve ever gotten was the Rise of the Tomb Raider timed exclusivity.
