Game Pass potential departure dates​

Last updated - 2024-05-28

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.

Much to my surprise I got a message saying my Gamepass Ultimate is going to expire soon. Does the trick I used 3 years ago still work? I bought 3 years of gold live and converted to GPU and managed to get the extra month. Is a trip to Turkey still the cheapest way? Any recommended VPNs?

Should still work. No one's reported it not working anymore.

 

[bardockkun]

Beat the main Danganronpa campaign yesterday and I enjoyed it, but I don't know if I have the will to go through two more of those games on Game Pass this year before they leave especially with them being longer and from my understanding, having diminishing returns as they continue.

Xbox is so green now, guys. Introduce an energy hog mode then later disable it by default. Even better, go over a year between first party releases and no need to turn on the console at all!

Not sure if this is new or I just was late to the party, but in the rewards section there is now an auto redeem for one month of game pass ultimate for 10,000 points. That is actually a pretty great value compared to the discount on gift cards. You can also redeem three months for 35K points.

My biggest challenge with finding something to watch is that I'll be looking for something to watch on my lunch break, my wife sees part of it and inevitably wants to watch it together. Which is nice, but sometimes you just want something you can watch on your own time.

Auto redeem for game pass added back in November

At one time they would have discounds on the 3 months for 24k points. I did that a few times and started saving points for when it happened again, but they seemed to have stopped that. The 10k saves a few points and could be worth it since I don't usually do the $10 thing.

I find it tougher to find a good show for food time. 20-30 minute shows are the best, but I've watched through most of the ones I know of now. Hulu is best for those types of shows. Paramount+ is good when Lower Decks has a new season.

For Apple, I liked Mythic Quest, but it does get dull a few episodes at a time. Severance had a great final episode, but it almost didn't hold my interest before then. (White Lotus season 2 was the exact same for me. Only a good final episode)

 

[briandadude]

Just noticed in the Microsoft Rewards Xbox app they added an auto redeem 1 month Game Pass Ultimate for 10,500 points. Is that new?

The Friday and Monday dailies can overlap with the Arcade challenge.  2 Road championships can work for next Wednesday's clean racing daily.

Trial - Dirt- B700 2014 Ford FPV Limited Edition Pursuit UTE - Tuned 120 342 609.  AI is not tuned.  AWD swap bumps the PI to 700, but can still do a transmission upgrade to restore some of the speed rating lost with the AWD drivetrain.  4 of 6 people had tuned cars, I'm guessing they're the ones that did well (top 3 and 6th first race, top 4 second race).  I was 2nd and 3rd.  The upgrades on my tune would cover Saturday's daily.

• Mulegé Town Scramble
• Cordillera Trail (rain)

Event Horizon Danger Sign - B700 Ford Pre-1990 - 689 feet - Hit 766 with the 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 302 (109 426 222).  Started just around the bend east of the sign, on the dirt road next to the Caldera icon.  Hit the ramp at 130 mph.

Estadio Speed Trap - B700 Ford Pre-1990 - 140 mph - Hit 142 with the '69 Mustang starting a bit north of the dirt intersection north of the trap.  Had to coast on the inside of the turn by the Stadium Jump Danger Sign to keep up speed.  Had tried a few times, but the car shifted gears nearing the trap slowing my acceleration.

Puerta Pétrea Trail Blazer - B700 Ford Pre-1990 - 22 seconds (3 stars is 25 seconds) - Hit 29.068 with the '69 Mustang.  Started from the bend uphill from the start gate, went to the straight paved road downhill.  After crossing the bridge, you can cut left between batches of unbreakable trees, then navigate between the rocks.  Clearing the target time will also complete today's daily.

Ford by Fours - Dirt - C600 Ford Pickups & 4x4's - No problems with the 2011 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor (985 068 711).

• Barranca Trail
• Bajío Trail (rain)
• Tulum Trail (rain)

Superstar & Hatch - Road - B700 Ford Hot or Super Hot Hatch - No problem in the 2017 Ford Focus RS (951 805 066).

• Lookout Circuit (rain)
• Cathedral Circuit
• Riviera Sprint

Caprisy Does It - Road - D500 1973 Ford Capri RS3100 - I first tried this stock, since there isn't much PI leeway for upgrading.  Won the first race pretty easily, but needed to rerun the other races to get a win, after finishing 2nd and 4th in my first attempts.  Tried an AWD upgrade, balancing the PI bump with changes to the spoiler, rear tire width and rear rims.  Had an easier time with that (940 680 016).

• Sierra Verde Sprint
• Arch of Mulegé Circuit
• Descansar Dorado Sprint

Hot Wheels

Canyon Fire Danger Sign - B700 Ford Pre-1990 - 754.6 feet - Got 994 feet with the '69 Mustang.  Started back at the loop SW of the ramp, left the track at 127 mph and managed to clear the cliff edge at get extra distance.

Shaking the Trees - Hazard - A800 Ford Modern Muscle - Used the 2018 Ford Mustang GT (163 310 707).  Had to run the first race twice because of the numerous off-road sections going through water.  Other 2 stayed on the track and were no problem.

I've never watched anything on Apple TV except baseball.

I like their baseball coverage. I wish the MLB.tv app looked as crisp and good as Apple TV.

None of their shows looked interesting to me except Ted Lass which is one of the best live action shows I’ve seen in years.

 

[hustlersuniversityTopG]

So I took advantage of that Apple TV+ GPU perk afaik there were only like 5 series worth watching, aside from Ted Lasso what were the other ones?

shantaram is easily the best show on Apple TV

Didn't see it posted yet but We Happy Few was stealthily added to the Leaving Gamepass list without any announcement with only a few days left before it leaves. Strange to see a 1st party game leave the service. Wasn't exactly a banger. Don't think it would have cost much to retain the rights to the IP.

We Happy Few is a first party game because Microsoft bought Compulsion and Compulsion are the ones who made the game. MS even own the IP but apparently Gearbox still own the publishing rights. You can buy the game very cheap nowadays or wait and see if it comes back onto the service. The game has already left and then later came back to game pass in the past despite being on the service for over four years..

[Brainwave0]

...there is now an auto redeem for one month of game pass ultimate for 10,000 points. That is actually a pretty great value compared to the discount on gift cards. You can also redeem three months for 35K points...

FYI it comes through as a code. So you could use this with the wife's account and add the month to your gamepass.

What do you mean? When I start auto redeem, it doesn’t just add a month to my account? It sends me a code every month?

I'm pretty sure all rewards balances are straight to account (like $5/10/20) and gold/gp/gpu are all codes. Auto redeem works the same way.

you can see it's price history here https://xbdeals.net/us-store/game/820195/alan-wake-remastered

Looks like it was on sale last month for $14.99. If you're willing to "visit" Argentina, can be had for around $9 on Eneba

It looks like the remaster goes on sale every 2-3 months, getting cheaper with each sale. It's hard to say how low it will go or how frequently it will go on sale since Epic Games is the publisher.

Having played both versions within the last couple of years, I will say if you have a current gen console that the Remaster is a much better experience. It runs much smoother, loads quicker, and looks better. I'd recommend that one

Microsoft ended support for Windows 8 back on Tuesday.

https://www.trueachievements.com/n52492/windows-8-support-ending

If you purchased things on Windows 8, according to a comment in the thread, you should be able to redownload it through your payment history within Windows 8 for another 6 months.  It also says you should be able to download them on newer systems, though it's not straightforward.

Potentially relevant here because MS put a number of Windows games with cheezmints on sale for 10 cents during Black Friday 2015.

https://www.trueachievements.com/n22217/windows-10-black-friday-10-cent-sale

Looks like I bought all of them.  My old Win8 laptop doesn't boot anymore (haven't figured out the problem) and I have most installed on my old Win10 laptop.  On my current Win10 laptop, only Halo: Spartan Assault, Halo: Spartan Strike and Hydro Thunder Hurricane show up in my library in the Xbox app.  I was able to install most of the others by opening the store links in the TA article.  Chrome thought the pages need to be translated, but Edge opened them without trouble.  Most gave an Install / Play button, which redirected to the Microsoft Store app and let me download them.  Disney Fairies Hidden Treasures was the only one that didn't have an install button.  There's a topic in the game's TA forum to install it using an app package downloaded from the web.  The DLCs should be available from within the game.  Also note that Reckless Racing Ultimate has 9 unobtainable achievements, one in the base game and 8 from delisted DLCs.

My order history on the MS web site goes back to Nov 20, 2015, ending with some of the above games and 10 cent movie rentals from the same sale, but not everything is there.  Not sure if reloading the page would allow it to go back farther or if there's just a limit in the store.  Took a while for the page to load what it did.  Load items, go to bottom of page, load more items ...

I also don't have purchase confirmation emails for any of the above games, either.

Edit: A reload of the web order history is going back farther now (but not all the way, stopping in august 2010).  The other games from the sale are there, though Hitman GO was purchased a few months earlier at 99 cents.  The games' store pages can also be opened from the order history, just takes so long to get there.

Fuzzmeister - how has your Witcher 3 experience been going with the new update?

Mostly great. A couple of game crashes to dashboard, but there are enough autosaves that it isn't an issue. It's crashed maybe 5 times so far. Just the Blood and Wine DLC to finish. I didn't notice ray tracing enough to deal with the sub 4k 60 fps, so played performance mode for most of it. I've enjoyed it as much as my first completion back when it launched.

 

[bardockkun]

For all my Stadia heads...er...Stad baddies or...whatever the we are, GOOD NEWS!

https://twitter.com/GoogleStadia/status/1613999717519605760

In all seriousness though it is a solid controller especially considering how nearly everyone got one for free. So it'll be nice as an xCloud controller.

I've gotten back into it too since the update. Had finished the main game but not the DLC a few years ago. I took me a few hours to get back into the systems of the game, but it's a lot of fun. I tried ray tracing but it was too smeary-looking while playing, performance is better. I did switch on ray tracing during some cut-scenes and it looked great there. Not worth the hassle of switching it on and off though.

Finished the Heart of Stone DLC, that was really good... now playing Blood and Wine. Holy crap, howlongtobeat says this is 25-40 more hours? That's a whole other game...

The quests and characters in the Witcher are still far more interesting that most RPGs I've played. No offense, Skyrim

Yet all they say is it will cut into their profits. The point Sony is tying to make is about anti-consumerism; not anti-competitive. What ing idiots honestly.

This is great news! I still have two of these and was hoping there would be a future use for them. Gotta give Stadia credit for how well they are treating people who bought into their service. I think I have been refunded for about 90% of my purchases and will get a couple of games put onto Ubisoft Connect

While I enjoy playing Elder Scrolls games, it's story is really only better than the story in Fallout (except for New Vegas). The plots in those games feel more like ways to guide you through exploring the world and Witcher 3 does that better too.

Witcher 3 is one of the best RPG stories in recent years for sure followed by Lost Odyssey and Yakuza Like a Dragon! Tales of Arise is a recent honorable mention. I don't watch One Piece, but that new game looks like a fun RPG.

Holy shit that second TA link came in clutch! I remember buying Hitman GO but I was never able to find it in my library or order history for download. Looking it up also said not available so having that direct link was sweet. Thanks!

I only spent $0.99 in the Stadia Store (Borderlands 3), but when they refunded my $1.06 that balance expired like a week later. Hopefully people that got more refunded didn't run into that issue.

I just got points for playing a PC game. Except I didn't HAVE a PC game running at any point today yet.

Or in the last 48h even.

So... I've been putting off playing Fallen Order for a very long time.  Started today, and this game is beautiful on the series X

I haven’t played Apex Legends in a while. I started playing some Control mode on Apex today, I was just in a match that disconnected and failed and now I’m in a 2 minute abandon match penalty, lol. Some things never change.

So... I've been putting off playing Fallen Order for a very long time. Started today, and this game is beautiful on the series X

I wanted to like this game but knew it wasn't for me. I almost bought it several times. I played about an hour and deleted it. Frustrating platforming is just not for me. I couldn't figure out where it expected me to go and decided if I can't even make it past the opening without looking it up its just not for me. It kept telling me to pull the left stick but that didn't seem to be the answer. Also I want to play as a character I have heard of not some made up Jedi. I played Battlefront on PS4 with a friend for a bit but never got into it either.

Other then one of the lego Star Wars games I haven't really liked Star Wars games.

Fallen order is free over on PS+ if anyone has that and wants to give it a try for themselves.

 

[awp]

I still need to finish Fallen Order. Probably about 80% through. My problem is the puzzles. I donno. I’m just stupid sometimes when it comes to that stuff, lol. Otherwise, I’ve enjoyed it. Combat is fun and, honestly, haven’t had any real issues with the platforming either.

 

[bardockkun]

I Liked Fallen Order as well and it kinda cemented to me that I have no patience for Souls type experiences (though I'll get Elden Ring when it's on the cheap) because once I bumped it down to easy mid way through the game I had much more fun not getting wrecked by giant spiders. Also I welcome any Star Wars anything that doesn't rely heavily on old trilogy characters to make me care. Like I'm fine with things like looming threat of the Empire, but I don't need a story that takes place across a whole galaxy, but straight up centers back to here's Luke, Leia or Han for no reason other then to just punch me in the ribs as subtly as possible to say "Hey, in case you forgot, this is a STAR WARS GAME."

I really wanted to like it to but it just wasn’t for me. Like you said, the platforming and always feeling like I had no idea what to do next made me uninstall every time I got to the first planet after the prologue. Not gonna lie, I couldn’t stop seeing the main character as anyone but Jerome/Jeremiah from Gotham. I’ve played a LOT of Star Wars games(going back to the SNES and 90s computer games with FMV) and I liked them all better than Fallen Order.

I agree the platforming was annoying as was the overly complicated levels. If you want me to go all over the place in a level give me a decent way to follow. The 3D Map reminded me of Metroid Prime. I always have trouble figuring out where I am supposed to go with 3D maps. What I really did not like was this "Jedi" has trouble dispatching storm troopers! Every fight becomes a tactical sword fight which is cool occasionally not the whole game though. Come on man storm troopers should all be light saber fodder or force thrown to their deaths lol.

My favorite star wars action games are still the 2 Force Unleashed games that were released in 2008 and 2010. They are still fun to play in my opinion. The rogue Squadron games on Gamecube/N64 are also a lot of fun. Heck even shadows of the Empire on N64 is more fun to me than Jedi Fallen Order. I finished Shadows of the Empire back in the day. That's probably related to the fact that it was one of the few games available when the N64 launched and it was the first 3D star wars action game on a console.

 

[Z-Saber]

Maybe not hot, but at least a steamy take calling Shadows of the Empire better than Fallen Order.

I liked it enough that I'm looking forward to the sequel eventually being on EA Play/GamePass. Some of the platforming was a bit annoying. The slide sections can eat me. Otherwise a good Souls-like.

Wouldn't say it's worse than a clunky N64 game, though. And I played and replayed SotE a million times back in the day.
