There’s no indicator, no. In the past some games go on there for 6 months, some for 12 months, others for longer. But I think the 6 month and 12 month time intervals are the most common.
No, bought for my Xbox since it’s my AAA game playing machine. My PC just doesn’t have the horsepower to do the game justice, I’m sure.
That always annoys me. It’s like my Bing clicks are somehow second class.
Here’s more info on it. I don’t know a great deal myself, but I do enjoy a good ‘otherwordly adventure game’. Maybe it’s overstating things to suggest it may be Lovecraftian but here’s hoping!

Call of the Sea looks amazing. What a phenomenal batch of games
I played Haven during the Indie Demo week, too. Weird and cool little game. I was planning on buying it, but I guess now I don’t have to.
AoW:Planetfall is on sale for cheap for the next two days during the “Cyber Monday” sale. I might just pick it up, though I only got through one campaign and haven played it in a while.
I actually just installed Greedfall- I bought it on sale a while back for like $10. Now I’m done with Fallen Order, perhaps I’ll kick it around for a few days before Cyberpunk…
Sucks that Age of Wonders: Planetfall is leaving.
Sucks that it’s still $50 on Steam.
Holy shit, it’s only $16.50 on the Microsoft Store.
I guess sometimes the Game Pass discount doesn’t suck!
EDIT: WAIT! NO! That’s a Cyber Monday sale for 2 more days. Sold!

It has been 60-70% off past few weeks on various storefronts.
Phogs didn’t make that list.
It’s probably coming for console & PC, was announced previously.
Looks like a cute puppy & dino game for kids.
Untitled Goose Game was overhyped because it had such a brilliant premise, but it is still a good game. And all those moments of being stuck and flailing around with no idea how to complete an objective are made up for by the game’s extremely clever final punchline.
I don’t know when they put it back, but there’s currently a $1 for a month of GamePass Ultimate + 2 free months (= 3 months for a $1) for “new GamePass Ultimate subscribers” - but they’re pretty generous about that definition. I am a former GamePass Ultimate (lapsed for a bunch of months this year), current GamePass PC subscriber and subscribing to this did the “upgrade all my months of GamePass PC to Ultimate and add the months at the end” thing. (I tried turning off recurring billing first in case I could get another extra month but the extra greed didn’t work). The main thing is that it definitely confirmed with me that I was paying just the $1 for the a month + 2 free months (and the subscription will continue at Ultimate price of course when the current time expires).
I cut this from the horrific slickdeals link - this looks like it works in my incognito window:
I’m in for cheap months of PC but now I’m starting to wonder if I should get some kind of TV-capable android device to use the cloud bits of the subscription (not sure I’m ready to actually buy a console yet…)

Remember, if you are going to get gamepass ultimate, and you aren’t a subscriber currently, you really should load up on XBox gold, and then convert it over… it ends up being only $5 a month, for up to 3 years.
That is still the best deal, however the current deals for Ultimate aren’t too far off. You can find 3 month cards for around $20-22 so it’s not much more than buying the gold and converting.

I didn’t qualify because I am current. Can’t complain too much as I loaded the boat on the recent Target deal. I’m at around $6 a month for the next couple years. By far the best deal in gaming even at full price. I combined it with a Ubi sub and am surprised with the amount of content I get for $20 a month. Total shift in my game purchasing habits. Never though I would say this but I could not be any happier “leasing” games. My the time are a changin’
And for new guys, you also get a few free xbox games a month and there are more games to play with the subscription. It’s worth grabbing a cheap Xbox One for all the extra stuff if you load up with years of gamepass. The “One S” model can also be used as a 4k blu-ray player + streaming apps.
They probably cost ~100$ US used these days.

I have yet to buy a single game on my XSX so far, and I’ve got tons of games I’ve been playing… it’s crazy.
And honestly, if not for Cyberpunk coming out next week, I would really have no immediate desire to buy any games. Gamepass just has a giant mountain of games that I actually want to play.

Is Cyberpunk coming out on Game Pass for PC? I thought I read it was not coming out for Game Pass for XBox.
So Gamestop has a buy 2 get 2 free for pre-owned games.
I loaded up 4 games in the cart and then stopped myself—I have to draw the line at just using Gamepass on the Series X. There isn’t a legitimate need for anything else, beyond that.
