Game Pass potential departure dates​

Last updated - 2025-05-01

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 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.

Sony’s sales have been going down in Japan and Xbox’s has been rising (though still small). Microsoft also has been bringing more Japanese games in the last year.

With some of Sony’s moves, Nintendo really has become the ruler of Japan. Not that they weren’t already but becoming even more so.

 

[chnandler_bong]

I'm hoping that this means we can get Activision in the BC program at some point.

Surprisingly, most if not all of the CoD games are BC. I couldn't tell you what else is though.

 

[entexman]

The Game Room on 360 had the games you listed and a bunch of others from Activision.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Game_Room_games

I have a few of those Activision titles in Game room. Still boot that game up now and then for some nostalgia.

 

[defpally]

It is an all cash deal. Microsoft is known to overpaid for companies since they have a lot of cashflow from their legacy business.

Yeah, but I would be willing to bet they have already hammered out Kotick's exit deal. And that deal will likely consist of lots of Microsoft stock and cash, on top of the windfall he gets from the merger. It happens with all these sorts of deals. Kotick will probably stick around for a few months until everything is settled. Executives always work out their deal in the negotiations, it could be the best offer possible, but unless the board that signs off on the deal gets their deals it doesn't get signed. I'm 100% sure Kotick did this as his personal exit ramp rather than slink off in shame, and to be honest we should have seen it coming when Microsoft suddenly went "we condemn this and will be re-evaluating our relationship with them" to "eh, we try to not involve ourselves in other corporation's drama" a couple weeks back. It was practically a bold red letter sign that said "We are negotiating to buy them".

 

[Gideon68]

MS should acquire Koei Tecmo and give us access to all their games.

 

[briandadude]

Crash Team Racing + Xbox properties. Finally a worthy kart racer to compete with Mario Kart. Diddy Kong Racing Returns. Do it.

 

[cancerman1120]

I will say that when I finally saw the GameSpot alert in my inbox that it was all just a big prank. Regardless if you like Activision games or not this is still a huge step. I do think it now starts getting me worried about ending up with two big studios and Nintendo. 

Glad to see Kotick gone...not happy he is going to get paid though.

Edit: Oh shit I just saw this was for 70 billion. Now I think MS is going to do whatever it wants.

"Total Valuation Sony Group has a market cap or net worth of $157.63 billion. The enterprise value is $165.67 billion"

Edit 2: Deaths Door on GamePass AND I did not buy it the last two time it was on sales has me even more happy.

I wouldn't consider us the norm. We're some of the most "hardcore" customers. I think a lot of people probably did a free trial once and then signed up for the monthly cost of either GamePass or Ultimate.

Out of curiosity, does anyone have the GTA Trilogy physical release working on a Series X? I have game pass and San Andreas is installing fine. However, the other two won't install. They get stuck trying to upgrade to series x. Only way to play is offline after installing from the disc.  Error code for both is 0x8b050033

Maybe Microsoft will relaunch Guitar Hero.

Well thanks to the size of the average CAG’s backlog, their funds are nearly infinite.

I guess I will just blame ignorance but I was surprised to see that Sony still has more revenue even after combining MS gaming with Activision/Blizzard and Zenimax. At least the last few years.

 

[captbrannigan]

I must be in the minority but I don't like the convergence/monopolization of the gaming market. I'd rather just have licensing deals and even then I think it sets a bad precedent and encourages the exclusivity race. I already miss out on too many games because of controller issues; I played too much DDR in high school and the button letter/colors on Xbox are burned into my brain. I see a blue X flash on screen and I'm already hitting the button. Maybe if PS or Nin made a comfortable controller I'd have more incentive to learn another layout, but as it is I just have to let Demon Souls exist only in Let's Plays.

As others have said, when Spencer eventually leaves we just have to hope the next person in charge has the same attitude towards consumers. Seems unlikely tho. New people in charge want to shake things up and make a name for themselves, and why not get the bag while you're at it. "We have plenty of consumer goodwill, but we're leaving a lot of money on the table. Every game needs an answer to Fifa Ultimate Teams. Why can't Halo, Forza, Diablo, CoD, Elder Scrolls, etc all have NFT based gacha microtransactions?"

 

[blueweltall]

There is going to be more consolidation in the game industry. It sucks but that is they way how things are going to go with Tencent, Amazon, Facebook/Meta, Google, Sony, and Microsoft.

You can get things like the Mayflash Magic NS that let you use Xbox controllers on Switch. I am sure they have them for PS5 too. It was like $16 on amazon when I bought it.

Will COD be Xbox exclusive now? Is COD as big of a name as it used to be? I was pretty disappointed in Vanguard and wonder if this will increase the quality of the series.

I am not sure if it's been posted but I saw it this morning and it looks great! It's odd that the show will be out months before the DLC though.

No one knows at this point. I’m betting the Warzone part of COD will continue to be cross platform because it’s a cash cow. Stand alone releases may be exclusive. Only time will tell.

 

[briandadude]

Native COD on Xbox, cloud version everywhere else.

 

[tyrok]

There were strong augments against Microsoft buying any of the other publishers:

Take 2 - Rockstar only makes 1 game every 5 years now. 2K relies too much on NBA microtransations.

Ubisoft - Too many samey games.

Sega - Would be good for GamePass but too hard to buy Japanese companies. Pretty much all of Atlus is Sony only.

EA - Relies too much on sports games selling on every platform. Games already going to GamePass after 10-12 months anyway.

WB - Too many games from Warner properties they wouldn't own.

ActiBlizz - Way too much money.

The best thing to come from this will likely be the end of annual Call of Duty. Microsoft won't need one every year to pay the bills and they will want other properties to be the "big holiday" game. That will free up all the studios that are just supporting CoD to do their own things again.

 

[greenwingzero]

MS should acquire Koei Tecmo and give us access to all their games.

I think Microsoft needs to acquire a big Japanese studio to deliver a killing blow to Sony and Nintendo for the international marketplace. I think for Microsoft the most logical acquisition would be Sega. But I can see them trying for Koei Tecmo or Bandai Namco. The big home run would be Square Enix but I don’t see that one happening.

 

[Bloomy]

I don't recall having any trouble this week with the trial. But wasn't sure if I would get enough money to buy the Ferrari. I had the super wheel spin from one of the challenges (maybe the trial) and earned another through car points. Plus a daily wheelspin and another for leveling up. Chump change on the 2 normal spins and like 30K and a few cars and trash on the supers. Auctioned off some of the dupes cars I had and was still a bit short. Finally did get enough. Then had to grind for like 30 min on the the speed trap. Tried many different builds. And finally got it. Was 2 MPH away for quite a bit and was getting worse not better for a while.

The S2 Street race was brutal too. Finally got two 1st and a 2nd to win it.

Just need today and tomorrows daily now.

FH5 stuff

Spoiler

I knocked out the S2 street race last night. Someone on the Forza forums said the Sesto FE was a decent choice, so I tried that. I came in 4th in the first race, but couldn't close the gap at all against the 3 ahead, so I quit out and retooled. I swapped the stock Sesto FE tires for drift tires to give me some PI leeway to upgrade in speed. Car was a bit slippery around turns, but it gave me enough of a speed boost to overtake the drivatars, so with some rewind abuse, I was able to sweep that one. Another option from the Forza forums would've been to spec a car to 901 PI to restrict the drivatars, since even though some of them would've had a higher PI, the game would still limit them to not completely outclass you (something that was apparently broken with the Trailcat championship this week).

I got lucky with some spins to buy the Bentley, so I bought that last night, but didn't do anything else with it because of today's daily to spend 50k on upgrades. When I started up the game, that daily was already marked completed. Tooled it up to S1 for the speed zones, then dropped it down to D for the road races. I needed the complete and win a road race in a D class car accolades.

Then the 100 mile grind, which I used to set clean rival times on routes. I also needed the top 5% and 10% rival accolades for C and D, so I bumped to C class and worked through road point to point routes. Actually managed to crack 5% in the C class on the Reservorio Sprint just south of the Mexico Festival site. Then I switched to D class, completed the sprints and focused on the dirt trails. Reconfigured to offroad tires and rally suspension for that. Actually managed to crack 5% on a number of routes there, with my best finish top 2% on the Tulum Trail in the southeast, just south of the Gauntlet. So if anyone wants to try for those 5% accolades and the cars that come with them, you might have some luck on Trail routes. I think there are a lot of dirty times on them, so it might be easier to rank on them.

There were a couple CAG club people ahead of me on a couple routes that I couldn't catch but still managed to crack the 5% mark. On the Desierto Trail (little over 33k on the leaderboard), my Bentley is 1,340 (4%) at 3:02, while koheed is at 311 with a Jeep CKS at 2:53. On the Baja California Trail (just under 18k), I'm at 942 (5%) with 3:02.5 and DroogsDontRun is at 594 with 2:59 in a #1107 VW Bug. So those might be better car choices to set rival times. The Tulum Trail has over 37k on the leaderboard and 3:48 is good enough for top 2% in D class.

All told, I knocked out clean runs on about 20 routes and am just left with a few "beat ghost" accolades in a few classes and setting clean times on the rest of the routes. The hard stuff there is done.

With the XP earned from doing rivals and spending skill points from the weekend's arcade events, I earned enough from wheelspins for the Ferrari. Someone on the Forza forums said they were able to beat the speed trap with the stock parts, so I tried that a few times. Got within 2 mph, but gave up and switched to AWD. Took a few rewinds, but was able to line up an approach from the north where I was just able to stay on the bridge and hit the trap a couple mph over the requirement.

Just have the games and tomorrow's daily to go. If the daily works, since it's an expedition one and I've already completed all of them.

I don’t think it’s possible for MS to buy a Japanese studio. The Japanese government will block (or attempt to hinder) any foreign acquisition.

 

[Deleted member 182844]

I wish they would put Enchanted Arms, Blinx, Black, Infinite Undiscovery, and the Otogi games on sale. Never seen a discount on any of those.

I would pick up RDR, but the with the rumored remake/remaster, I'll wait.

Are you sure about that though? There's been rumors about Microsoft possibly acquiring Sega for years.

[Rockabye]

I see StarCraft in that pic and immediately my sleep-addled brain says, "StarCraft coming to consoles?!?" I doubt that would ever happen, but this citizen of Aiur can dream!

Oh, it happened. And it was far worse than you could imagine.

That is a ridiculously large purchase, although for Microsoft the money probably means almost nothing.

I looked this up, and I believe none of the FAANG companies + Microsoft have ever acquired anything for more than $20 billion before, at least publicly; I also think this is about as big an acquisition as the largest previous public acquisitions by those companies combined. But it's also, like, $10B less than Microsoft's 2021 profits? The amounts of money generated and on hand at that level of business are just unfathomable.

Funny now to think that AOL once bought Time Warner for about $105 billion more than this deal, though.

 

[blueweltall]

Unless Microsoft Gaming is a separate entity, it’s just an ego boost. I am CEO of my house.

Sounds like Microsoft Gaming is going to be a separate business division within Microsoft. Either they reorganized the Entertainment and Devices Division to become Microsoft Gaming or they split the business division up to form the sixth one for gaming. The gaming division is currently lumped into the Entertainment and Devices Division. Phil will be the CEO of one of those five or sixth business divisions within Microsoft.

OH SHIT!!!

[entexman]

Too bad the pricing model was awful (had to buy packs of games).

Yeah. I spent a lot of money on what I did buy. I mainly got the arcade games with a small amount of 2600 and intellevision titles.

It had some cool online features that are dead now. I liked being able to playback the top leaderboard play throughs to see what strategies the top players used to get such insane high scores.

 

[2ndopp]

Add achievements to Pitfall, Freeway, Kaboom, Laser Blast etc...

Has a collection of those Atari 2600 games ever existed on an Xbox or Playstation? I know one of the COD games you could unlock them.

Edit - PS1 had a collection

Not those games specifically but 150 games are available through: Atari Flashback Classics Volume 1, 2, and 3. Each $19.99

I've been watching them and have never seen them go on sale. I ended up picking up the Switch version because I think it has all 150 games and it was on sale for $20 total last week:
