I have never played a CoD game, but there is a decent chance I would try some campaigns if the sale goes through. I’m not sure what other IPs I would be interested in. Considering I own D3 and it didn’t pull me in enough to play more than a few hours, I’m not sure D4 would fare better based on my open beta experience. Maybe I would try StarCraft 2.
I was just looking through a list of Activision games and didn’t see anything I would install.
There are so many Bethesda games I would install first.
But.. their catalog is either old or limited whereas a variety of games continue their exodus from their service :( I am worried if Xbox will reduce their their party ties once their acquisition goes through. :-/
Same here! If I cant find something to play, it's because I'm not really wanting to. Not because I'm out of options.
My favorite game to play right now is downloading a bunch of games I *might* want to play later!
Exactly. It's the perfect way to scratch the "I want a new game" itch without causing buyer's remorse. Either you play it and beat it, or you play it and realize that you wouldn't spend money on it in the first place.
And on rare occasion, you play it and realize that you want the game forever, and you get a 20% discount for having demo'ed it.
I’m scared Gamepass is becoming more like Netflix. Starts out really great with a lot of value but then slowly there’s less worthwhile games and the addition of new titles is too slow to justify the cost
true, ever since December it seems a change has happened. Each month we'd get like 15-20 games, yeah most were smaller/indie titles but gave us a lot of choice and stuff to try, these days its like less than 10 a month
All I could manage to do is get swarmed by roaches while the game complained that I was out of ammo. Game desperately needs a tutorial where you learn basic commands without getting killed.
Ya i got mine yesterday but still better than PS5 because at least there is a game pass. Ps should release one of their own imo so then there's more competition
It was a fun game and I would of played more but it’s a quick port over and as u went on and needed more complicated builds it was clear they didn’t think of a controller for the inputs.
Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake.
It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of.
Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything.
Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.
It’s a great game and I had a lot of fun getting all the achievements. It’s too bad it’s leaving game pass before the soon to be released second expansion.
Was holding out Riftbreaker was going to stick around through the potential multiplayer update the devs talked about awhile back. RIP that dream I suppose.
Quantum Break is a weird one since its an Xbox Studios game. I wonder if there's licenses they can't renew.
I've been meaning to play it, guess I'm going to have to buy it.
In another thread where this game up, someone else pointed out that there's possible music licensing rights, in addition to actors' residuals. Both of which would come into play due to there being actual film of them, vs. simply their likenesses in-game.
I played it recently for the first time; great game. You can knock it out in like 10-12 hours if you throw it on easy probably. Think I had 20 hours in it to max it out; but didn’t read all the little stories in the game fully. You can totally knock it out before the 15th.
Probably only going to play Life is Strange and Moonglow Bay out of these.
* **Life is Strange** is a definite-play for me, especially because I assume it's short and an easy 1000 like all the previous ones.
* **Moonglow Bay**, I'll look into, but I'm intrigued. The setting looks very pleasant, and I think it's a resource management game? Sounds right up my alley.
* I played **Quantum Break** already and it was excellent. It's got solid shooting mechanics and a fun scifi story. I recommend it.
Edit for Achievement Completionists: For Quantum Break you will need to beat the game on Hard. I did it on my first playthrough, though, and I found it to be very doable. I really only struggled on the final boss, which a guide finally helped me get a handle on. There's also collectibles, so keep that in mind.
*Life is Strange* is indeed an easy 1000. I did it on Steam, and some of them are progression based (you will get them for just doing the story) and others are finding hidden objects. Most of them aren't even hidden, you just need to know what to interact with and when. A couple require you to set something up and then do a thing.
Moonglow Bay was actually quite fun when i played it. The only issue was when it first dropped it had some bad screen tearing, but im almost positive theyve fixed that issue since then.
dont bother with moonglow bay, the game is full of bugs and was never patched since day 1. I dont even know why this game was added. I bet it still is super negative on steam.
One of my biggest grievances with Gamepass from the beginning is the very short time after announcing games that are leaving it. It should be at least a month, to give us enough time to finish interesting games before they leave 😠
That song towards the end of the game when you are sitting by the lake almost made me tear up. It has some beautifully written lyrics.
Edit: Looked up the song on youtube. Literally cant listen to it, especially at the lyrics "If you must die sweetheart, die knowing your life was my lifes best part".....cant stop tearing from it.
Cherish the ones you love....
Yep, it’s been on my to-do list for a while. Now I have it downloaded and will be starting it up tomorrow. Loved the first game a lot (haven’t played any of the others yet).
You can make different choices in the game! Like you can choose who to date between 2 people, you can choose the ending, you can choose how will you help the members of the town. I think it's pretty worth it yeah

This was a super helpful post thank you
Even if it was just to help me confirm I won't have time to start and finish any of these that I haven't done already. Work and kids now means barely any gaming time :')
I want to say, because the 2 comments mentioning the game. It's just extraction right, not actual siege? Because one is a game I am currently really invested in, the other is extraction.
Extraction was such a good time!
Was so refreshing to play a co-op game that wasn’t just chaos. I played with randoms and still 9/10 matches were fun and tactical. I feel like when Ubi puts out great games like this or Immortals no one cares.
I did really like the game! Only kept my attention for a couple weeks, but honestly I don't see that as a problem.
One of the issues with games now is every single one published by a major publisher gets saddled with the expectation that it has to be the greatest game of all time that is infinitely replayable and beloved for years.
"Life is Strange Before the storm" is the prequel of Life is Strange 1 while LiS 2 and LiS True Colors have their own stories and characters.
So no, you don't need to play the previous LiS games to understand True Colors
It's standalone. The characters are new.
Life is Strange 2 had some references to 1, but they're just for fun and not important to the main story. I assume 3 will be the same way.
One of the main characters in True Colours is from Life is Strange: Before the Storm and there are a handful of references to that game, especially in the DLC episode.
But it is not necessary to play any of the others first.
FOR ANYONE STILL WANTING TO PLAY AFTER APRIL 15th: If you mainly play offline, turn off your wifi and continue playing the offline games like LiS for another 30 days before you need to reconnect to wifi to check your gamepass subscription. Ive done this many times if i still had to finish games that are leaving gamepass soon.
The Dungeon of Nehaelbeuk is actually worth picking up. It’s a goofy and well written dungeon crawler with cheeky narration. Combat is similar to fire emblem; and it’s a very enjoyable game. Controls were a bit wonky (I think it’s a PC port) but even still they’re not bad enough to get frustrated with.
The Dungeon of Naheulbeuk is so underrated. Just a terrific game. As someone who doesn't often buy games after the leave GP I think I'll definitely be buying this one.
I played it on a whim and ended up getting addicted after the first sitting. One of the few indie games that I've finished without wanting to take a break to play something else along the way. The dialogue can be a little corny at times, but the combat and character progression more than make up for it.
Installing Rainbow Six "Activates" it in your Ubisoft account. Does that mean that even if it stops being available in GamePass it will still be playable via the Ubi launcher?
I've started Life is Strange today, never thought I'd like a game like this, I mean movie-like game. It's atmospheric and cosy, gives me vibes of Syberia games
That game put me through a total 180. At first it starts out like a cringy high school student sim and then takes a turn into this crazy emotional rollercoaster and actually decent story. Definitely recommended.
I got a glitch on Moonglow Bay that meant no achievements popped, so I thought I'd give it a few months to sort itself out. Now I'm gunna have to blitz it, strong recommend for cosy gamers!
Of course if the glitch has been fixed!
I got a bug the first week it released that got me stuck on a roof in town; every month or so I would check to see if I could get unstuck. Finally I check and I can get unstuck but the game is leaving. Oh well.
Played life is strange true colors ,I loved that might do a second play through . Playing quantum break loving it so far . Moonglow bay I’m on the fence about and debating if I have time for it between quantum break and wanting to play through life is strange again or skip life is strange since I’ve played it and play Moonglow bay .
Highly recommend dungeons of Naheulbeuk to anyone who likes tactical turn based games...its challenging, comical, and really well done.
Took me around 30 hours, but i take my time - can probably run through it much quicker than that.
Quantum Break was already bumped up my backlog after Lance Reddick passed away. Had started it for a Game Pass quest and enjoyed it but never continued because life. I better get to it!
For those who haven't played it The dungeon of Naheulbeuk is a top tier turn based strategy game. The humour in it is similar to high on life. And it's fully voice acted.
Highly recommend the long dark - currently on episode 3 i think had it installed for a year or so - will have to finish off. Got the Survival Edition on a humble bundle few months ago.
Life is Strange is a really cute but sad story - Shame it was not longer but probably good thing to rush through in 2 weeks
Got 2000 hours in siege but only played extraction once - might have to give it another go before it leaves.
I’m surprised Quantum Break is leaving since it’s a Microsoft IP. Perhaps they are giving it to Remedy as they did with Alan Wake. I guess it’s time to finally play it, I kept delaying in favor of finishing other games because I figured it would be on GP indefinitely.
Also if anyone hasn’t played Life Is Strange True Colors yet, do it! Easy 1000g but also a great story. The lack of exploration for me was a little disappointing (it’s all really based in one very little town, akin to a neighbourhood from The Sims), but overall the characters and storyline are fleshed out and engrossing which is what we’ve come to expect from the series.
Jesus, Quantum Break and True Colors are games I wanted to play.
Thankfully I'm already in the last chapter in Quantum Break, but I really wanted to go for 100% before it left GP. Sad to see so many games leaving.
Fuuuuck. That’s a rough list for me. Been meaning to play QB, Extraction, and Long Dark. Honestly didn’t think any of them would leave theyve been on so long :(.
Funny enough I thought so to but I installed it anways and today I checked the size (im like in act 3 now ) and it said it was around 47 gigabytes . So give it a shot it’s a great game !
It all comes down to a contract (or in the case of "Xbox-owned" titles which should theoretically be permanently available, licensing of certain content in a game...which is really just another form of contract, just not for the game itself), but popularity can definitely be a major factor in whether Xbox decides to renew/extend a contract or license.
Most third-party games are contracted for about a year, but I believe some have been shorter, like six months. Others have been longer, but it's typically not known what the original length of a contract was. It's entirely possible that some of these contracts are quietly extended without any public knowledge. On rare occasions, a game that previously left returns to the service, meaning a new contract was negotiated (Goat Simulator being the most recent example which had just expired a month ago).
Removing a game from their own studio is a very unsettling precedent... If they start removing their own games, my perceived value in the service is going to drop severely.
Quantum break was actually alright. I never got the end before and been thinking about going back to it but now it's being removed Its pointless playing again
From what I've played so far, I enjoyed Quantum Break more than Alan Wake and Control.
Hopefully Life is Strange: True Colors is better than LiS 2.
Might check out The Long Dark and a few others.
Where was this list accessible at? I need to bookmark it so I can watch out for it every month. I was curious about quantum break and I heard it was short.
Question for those who have played riftbreaker. Have you been able to move using wasd? My kb works fine even in the game menus, but on over world I can't get the kb to move my character.
Just loaded it up on mine and everything played out as normal so maybe your Xbox glitched like mine did the other day when it told me I wasn't subscribed to Gamepass Ultimate.
Hope it's sticking around until the 15th as I want to play it fully before it goes. Worst case scenario though is only a few quid to pick it up on physical disc or digital.
Games have been leaving at a _very steady_ clip. I hope they will also return, sometime, to adding games at the pace they used to but the acquisition makes that seem impossible. Anyhow, time to return to life is strange!
I love moonglow bay. It’s so much fun and relaxing. I haven’t finished it yet but I’ve put a lot of hours into it, haven’t played it in over 6 months now tho but I think I might just buy it from the store once it goes away from game pass and finish it off
Riftbreaker is a bummer. Continuing the trend of way more games leaving than being added, there are 4 games confirmed for April so far?
Here’s hoping that the ActiBlizz acquisition goes through and we see a tsunami of additions from their catalog.
That's not coming for at least 6 more months if you're being a optimist.
Forecasts were saying June. Games were added shortly afterwards with the Bethesda deal, very shortly.
What do you base that on?
I have never played a CoD game, but there is a decent chance I would try some campaigns if the sale goes through. I’m not sure what other IPs I would be interested in. Considering I own D3 and it didn’t pull me in enough to play more than a few hours, I’m not sure D4 would fare better based on my open beta experience. Maybe I would try StarCraft 2. I was just looking through a list of Activision games and didn’t see anything I would install. There are so many Bethesda games I would install first.
But.. their catalog is either old or limited whereas a variety of games continue their exodus from their service :( I am worried if Xbox will reduce their their party ties once their acquisition goes through. :-/
For me, I have still so much backlog from games available on GP that the services still has a crazy amount of value.
Same here! If I cant find something to play, it's because I'm not really wanting to. Not because I'm out of options. My favorite game to play right now is downloading a bunch of games I *might* want to play later!
For me it’s value is in being able to go try something random when bored without dropping $60 on a game I might not even care about
True. Atomic heart is a good example. I did not like the game and I was able to try it thanks to GP
Janky ass game and I had been looking forward to it for a year
Played it up until you get out of the first bunker? Area, stopped just after, not my style
Exactly. It's the perfect way to scratch the "I want a new game" itch without causing buyer's remorse. Either you play it and beat it, or you play it and realize that you wouldn't spend money on it in the first place. And on rare occasion, you play it and realize that you want the game forever, and you get a 20% discount for having demo'ed it.
Yes, of course. Doesn't mean recent trends aren't a little concerning
I’m scared Gamepass is becoming more like Netflix. Starts out really great with a lot of value but then slowly there’s less worthwhile games and the addition of new titles is too slow to justify the cost
Worse, all the new titles are from Netflix, so they can maximize their profit.
true, ever since December it seems a change has happened. Each month we'd get like 15-20 games, yeah most were smaller/indie titles but gave us a lot of choice and stuff to try, these days its like less than 10 a month
I enjoyed riftbreaker as well. I think I only played the first level or two though, but it was still enjoyable. Lots of unlocks!
All I could manage to do is get swarmed by roaches while the game complained that I was out of ammo. Game desperately needs a tutorial where you learn basic commands without getting killed.
I like how I bought my first Xbox because of game pass in January this year, and since then they've been removing like double the games than they add
Ya i got mine yesterday but still better than PS5 because at least there is a game pass. Ps should release one of their own imo so then there's more competition
It was a fun game and I would of played more but it’s a quick port over and as u went on and needed more complicated builds it was clear they didn’t think of a controller for the inputs.
Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake. It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of. Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything. Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.
It’s a great game and I had a lot of fun getting all the achievements. It’s too bad it’s leaving game pass before the soon to be released second expansion.

Quantum Break is a weird one since its an Xbox Studios game. I wonder if there's licenses they can't renew. I've been meaning to play it, guess I'm going to have to buy it.
Maybe because it has real actors and it has a tv show with episodes during it, and the license expired.
In another thread where this game up, someone else pointed out that there's possible music licensing rights, in addition to actors' residuals. Both of which would come into play due to there being actual film of them, vs. simply their likenesses in-game.
If that’s the case, isn’t it supposed to be delisted from xbox store completely like all the forza games, instead of just being removed from gamepass?
Same here, I always pushed playing it back because I never thought it would leave GP.. thankfully a physical copy is pretty cheap but still..
It’s a really great game!
It’s not a 1st party title, Microsoft said only 1st party titles would stay.
So like forza horizon 3 and forza 7?
Those are different, there a ton of licensing on the car brands that's it's frankly not worth renewing.
I played it recently for the first time; great game. You can knock it out in like 10-12 hours if you throw it on easy probably. Think I had 20 hours in it to max it out; but didn’t read all the little stories in the game fully. You can totally knock it out before the 15th.

Imo Quantum Break has the best storyline relating to time travel. An absolute must play 👍
*Life is Strange* is indeed an easy 1000. I did it on Steam, and some of them are progression based (you will get them for just doing the story) and others are finding hidden objects. Most of them aren't even hidden, you just need to know what to interact with and when. A couple require you to set something up and then do a thing.
Moonglow Bay was actually quite fun when i played it. The only issue was when it first dropped it had some bad screen tearing, but im almost positive theyve fixed that issue since then.
I gave it a couple hours today on a Series X, no tearing.
life is strange should be around 7hour
LoS was ok. While I liked the concept for it, I felt like most of the choices did not impact much in the grand scheme of things. Good, not great.
dont bother with moonglow bay, the game is full of bugs and was never patched since day 1. I dont even know why this game was added. I bet it still is super negative on steam.
One of my biggest grievances with Gamepass from the beginning is the very short time after announcing games that are leaving it. It should be at least a month, to give us enough time to finish interesting games before they leave 😠
If you haven't played True colors, GO FOR IT. The game is great with a fantastic atmosphere and amazing music in it.
That song towards the end of the game when you are sitting by the lake almost made me tear up. It has some beautifully written lyrics. Edit: Looked up the song on youtube. Literally cant listen to it, especially at the lyrics "If you must die sweetheart, die knowing your life was my lifes best part".....cant stop tearing from it. Cherish the ones you love....
Ita indeed very good!
Need to play the other life is strange games?
Nope, its seperate from the other games
Not really. The others have a better story though but if it's your first LIS you won't notice.
I agree with your points, but the story is just lazy writing and makes no sense at all.
how good was the Radiohead song when she played it - chills.
Yep, it’s been on my to-do list for a while. Now I have it downloaded and will be starting it up tomorrow. Loved the first game a lot (haven’t played any of the others yet).
Worth playing if I saw the whole story on YouTube?
You can make different choices in the game! Like you can choose who to date between 2 people, you can choose the ending, you can choose how will you help the members of the town. I think it's pretty worth it yeah
Is there a different ending when I already know who is the bad guy?
EDIT 1: I can't edit the main post but another game is leaving soon and only on PC: - Panzer Corps 2 -> Estimate time for getting all achievements and walkthrough are not available.

This was a super helpful post thank you Even if it was just to help me confirm I won't have time to start and finish any of these that I haven't done already. Work and kids now means barely any gaming time :')
Gotta play Life is Strange fast
Surprised that they removed Quantum Break from the Library 😲🧐
I'm okay with everything except for The Long Dark
I want to say, because the 2 comments mentioning the game. It's just extraction right, not actual siege? Because one is a game I am currently really invested in, the other is extraction.
Thank you, yes Extraction is leaving. I fixed the info about it, "Siege" is not leaving. My bad :(
Extraction was such a good time! Was so refreshing to play a co-op game that wasn’t just chaos. I played with randoms and still 9/10 matches were fun and tactical. I feel like when Ubi puts out great games like this or Immortals no one cares.
Yes i agree i couldnt put it down when it came out. Like you said, it was really refreshing.
You're definitely in the minority
it was fun for a bit but they didn't give it enough support to keep people coming back
I did really like the game! Only kept my attention for a couple weeks, but honestly I don't see that as a problem. One of the issues with games now is every single one published by a major publisher gets saddled with the expectation that it has to be the greatest game of all time that is infinitely replayable and beloved for years.
Absolutely. The people that cry about lack of content are the reason we have so many crappy soulless games as a service.
[удалено]
Hmm never heard of it. Sequel to Quantum Break?
Do I need to have play the previous Life is Strange games to understand True Colors? Or is it standalone?
"Life is Strange Before the storm" is the prequel of Life is Strange 1 while LiS 2 and LiS True Colors have their own stories and characters. So no, you don't need to play the previous LiS games to understand True Colors
It's standalone. The characters are new. Life is Strange 2 had some references to 1, but they're just for fun and not important to the main story. I assume 3 will be the same way.

Ive done this many times if i still had to finish games that are leaving gamepass soon.
Does that actually work? I really want to play life is strange but not sure if I would finish it in time.
Yes it works, just turn off wifi on your Xbox🙏
It works for games that don't need to connect to the internet to work at least.
Lol just have no internet??? I need my internet can you not just delete the WiFi from the xbox
Yeah sorry thats what i meant, turn off the wifi on your xbox😆
Panzer Corps 2 is leaving for PC also
Thanks, I only check the console section. I have to check if I can update the post
It’s disappointing that the amount of games leaving is more than the amount of new ones being added
Bummed about Riftbreaker, Moonglow Bay and Naheulbeuk :/
I particularly recommend playing life is strange out of those
Does it mean that LiS is also leaving pcgamepass?
Yes
The Dungeon of Nehaelbeuk is actually worth picking up. It’s a goofy and well written dungeon crawler with cheeky narration. Combat is similar to fire emblem; and it’s a very enjoyable game. Controls were a bit wonky (I think it’s a PC port) but even still they’re not bad enough to get frustrated with.

Installing Rainbow Six "Activates" it in your Ubisoft account. Does that mean that even if it stops being available in GamePass it will still be playable via the Ubi launcher?
Isn’t Quantum break an Xbox studios game? Why would they remove their own game from the game pass??
It's still unknown. Probably issue with licensing or Microsoft sold the IP to Remedy
If it means Quantum break can get a sequel or a crossover with Alan Wake/Control, then I'm okay with the game leaving GamePass.
Lol there won't be a sequel quantum break was an awful game and sold beyond shit
It's weird how many people are on here praising it like it was some masterpiece when it was during the height of the dark days of the Xbox One.
I've started Life is Strange today, never thought I'd like a game like this, I mean movie-like game. It's atmospheric and cosy, gives me vibes of Syberia games
If you like True colors, try out the first Life is Strange game. It's the best of the series and way more emotional
That game put me through a total 180. At first it starts out like a cringy high school student sim and then takes a turn into this crazy emotional rollercoaster and actually decent story. Definitely recommended.
Life is Strange was recently added to PlayStation Plus for anyone who also uses that
Yep the entire series is now available for PS Plus Essential
Man the long dark is such a fun game.I have it on steam and recommend everyone that likes survival single player games
And i dont see anyone talking about it, its a crime
For real
I got a glitch on Moonglow Bay that meant no achievements popped, so I thought I'd give it a few months to sort itself out. Now I'm gunna have to blitz it, strong recommend for cosy gamers! Of course if the glitch has been fixed!
When I played it it had terrible frame rate issues and I couldn't carry on playing it ,do you know if that's been fixed?
I didnt have this problem but I know they've had a few updates in the last year, so maybe fixed!
No framerate issues on Series X from what I've played so far.
I got a bug very early on that wouldn't let me turn in side quests. I wonder if it's fixed cause I loved what little I was able to play.
I havent had this bug but I know they've had a few updates in the last year or so, maybe!
I got a bug the first week it released that got me stuck on a roof in town; every month or so I would check to see if I could get unstuck. Finally I check and I can get unstuck but the game is leaving. Oh well.
Shit, there's no way I can finish True Colors in time. A 10 hour game takes me about 6 weeks.
O man, I like extraction. 🥺
Sooo, which one(s) should I play and why?
Quantum break. Fun game. Good story.
I'll try A Long Dark, since I love survival and it was on my wishlist
Played life is strange true colors ,I loved that might do a second play through . Playing quantum break loving it so far . Moonglow bay I’m on the fence about and debating if I have time for it between quantum break and wanting to play through life is strange again or skip life is strange since I’ve played it and play Moonglow bay .
true colours is short and fantastic
Oh yeah, Tom Clancy Extraction was a game that was made.
Life is strange was fantastic!
Thanks for posting. Yesterday, I downloaded As Dusk Falls and Life is Strange. I wasn’t sure which I’d try first, now I know!
Gonna start true colors then
Highly recommend dungeons of Naheulbeuk to anyone who likes tactical turn based games...its challenging, comical, and really well done. Took me around 30 hours, but i take my time - can probably run through it much quicker than that.
Quantum Break was already bumped up my backlog after Lance Reddick passed away. Had started it for a Game Pass quest and enjoyed it but never continued because life. I better get to it!
Looks like I'll need to jump back on Life Is Strange more before it leaves.
Damn I wanted to beat Quantum Break. Game was a lot funner that I expected.
For those who haven't played it The dungeon of Naheulbeuk is a top tier turn based strategy game. The humour in it is similar to high on life. And it's fully voice acted.
Highly recommend the long dark - currently on episode 3 i think had it installed for a year or so - will have to finish off. Got the Survival Edition on a humble bundle few months ago. Life is Strange is a really cute but sad story - Shame it was not longer but probably good thing to rush through in 2 weeks Got 2000 hours in siege but only played extraction once - might have to give it another go before it leaves.
What a failure rainbow six extraction ahah
Usually how long does it take for them to leave after they show up on this list?
Typically the 15th, and then the end of the month
I couldn’t find quantum break in cloud or pc game pass
More games are leaving than being added. I’m considering cancelling subscription
Me too. They're replacing all the goodies with anime or sports games, which aren't for everybody...
I really wanted to get to Riftbreaker and Moonglow Bay, but alas.
I’m surprised Quantum Break is leaving since it’s a Microsoft IP. Perhaps they are giving it to Remedy as they did with Alan Wake. I guess it’s time to finally play it, I kept delaying in favor of finishing other games because I figured it would be on GP indefinitely. Also if anyone hasn’t played Life Is Strange True Colors yet, do it! Easy 1000g but also a great story. The lack of exploration for me was a little disappointing (it’s all really based in one very little town, akin to a neighbourhood from The Sims), but overall the characters and storyline are fleshed out and engrossing which is what we’ve come to expect from the series.
It’s not a 1st party title so that will be why.
How’s quantum break?
Quantum Break? But that’s an Xbox exclusive game. Why would that ever leave Game Pass?
Not 1st party and probably legal issues
So Quantum Break has already left the PC by the looks of it, but it is playable via the Cloud.
It didn't leave PC. For unknown reasons it never got added at all.
Yeah, I can't play it via cloud either. Everything else launches fine.
I'm hoping for fifa 23 and nhl 23 soon.
Moonglow Bay and LIS3 were both good times like solid 8/10s
Shit a few ones I wanted to play this month. Gonna prioritise Life is Strange though. I've played all the others.
Jesus, Quantum Break and True Colors are games I wanted to play. Thankfully I'm already in the last chapter in Quantum Break, but I really wanted to go for 100% before it left GP. Sad to see so many games leaving.
Fuuuuck. That’s a rough list for me. Been meaning to play QB, Extraction, and Long Dark. Honestly didn’t think any of them would leave theyve been on so long :(.
Nooo, I just started playing The Riftbreaker
Was gonna install Quantum Break but it’s listed at 102GB. Don’t got the room for that. So True Colors it is!
It's around 83GB. The other 20 is the optional download of the TV show I think, which you don't need because you can just stream them in-game.
Funny enough I thought so to but I installed it anways and today I checked the size (im like in act 3 now ) and it said it was around 47 gigabytes . So give it a shot it’s a great game !
Extraction was such a disappointment
I never tried rainbow six extraction.. it looked kind of cool. oh well :(
I knew true colors was leaving this month. Yall should look for anything square enix related and start playing those asap.
Noooo not moonglow bay. I haven't played it in a while but that game was so chill. Any chance it'll stay anyway?
No
Extraction is shit anyway. Idk who's idea was to make it a thing
I hope long dark returns when the final episode is released, would suck to be able to play everything with the exception of the ending.
Cock! never got round to playing life is strange true colours after the first one affected me so damn much
This is a sign to drop whatever your playing and make the game front and center.
How do they determine what games come and go? How popular is it? Certain contracts possibly?
It all comes down to a contract (or in the case of "Xbox-owned" titles which should theoretically be permanently available, licensing of certain content in a game...which is really just another form of contract, just not for the game itself), but popularity can definitely be a major factor in whether Xbox decides to renew/extend a contract or license. Most third-party games are contracted for about a year, but I believe some have been shorter, like six months. Others have been longer, but it's typically not known what the original length of a contract was. It's entirely possible that some of these contracts are quietly extended without any public knowledge. On rare occasions, a game that previously left returns to the service, meaning a new contract was negotiated (Goat Simulator being the most recent example which had just expired a month ago).
Why quantum break, which made by xbox, is leaving. isn't supposed to be there for lifetime?
Ah man. After playing Dredge I was gonna give Moonglow Bay a shot lol
Quantum break and the long dark are both great games sucks to see them go
Long dark😭
Removing a game from their own studio is a very unsettling precedent... If they start removing their own games, my perceived value in the service is going to drop severely.
Can anyone recommend Moonglow Bay? I gave it a quick go when it was added but it was extremely buggy so I uninstalled. Hopefully it runs smooth now.
Long dark is a great one
WHAT!!!! Not moonglow bay and life is strange!!! I haven’t played them yet just little in moonglow!! 😭😭
Quantum break was actually alright. I never got the end before and been thinking about going back to it but now it's being removed Its pointless playing again
rainbow six extraction is one of the video games of all time
From what I've played so far, I enjoyed Quantum Break more than Alan Wake and Control. Hopefully Life is Strange: True Colors is better than LiS 2. Might check out The Long Dark and a few others.
LiS: True Colors feels much more enjoyable than LiS 2. The character is more likeable too along with the story so far.
Where was this list accessible at? I need to bookmark it so I can watch out for it every month. I was curious about quantum break and I heard it was short.
The Long Dark existing game pass is a bummer, but I do plan on buying to own once it does. Great game.
Played vampire survivors on gamepass… instantly addicted so I bought the game.
I need to buy Riftbreaker. I really like this game. It is amazing. Love you Riftbreaker.
Question for those who have played riftbreaker. Have you been able to move using wasd? My kb works fine even in the game menus, but on over world I can't get the kb to move my character.
The long dark has been on my backlog for so long, guess I have to play it now
Quantum Break seems already out of game pass? Says I should buy it on the app.
Just loaded it up on mine and everything played out as normal so maybe your Xbox glitched like mine did the other day when it told me I wasn't subscribed to Gamepass Ultimate. Hope it's sticking around until the 15th as I want to play it fully before it goes. Worst case scenario though is only a few quid to pick it up on physical disc or digital.
Moonglow Bay had kind of a rocky start but after patches became a delightful slice of life fishing RPG. It’s worth trying before it’s gone
Dayz stays 😀
I literally JUST started The Long Dark…. And I wanted to play True Colours at some point.
Games have been leaving at a _very steady_ clip. I hope they will also return, sometime, to adding games at the pace they used to but the acquisition makes that seem impossible. Anyhow, time to return to life is strange!
Not all of them, but motsly are really great games
not r6 extraction! damn too many games leaving, too few being added lately
I love moonglow bay. It’s so much fun and relaxing. I haven’t finished it yet but I’ve put a lot of hours into it, haven’t played it in over 6 months now tho but I think I might just buy it from the store once it goes away from game pass and finish it off
