Seven Games Will Leave Xbox Game Pass In Early November 2024

More games leaving the Game Pass on console than joining of late. I get they've just added a big one, but if it holds no interest for you, then GP has been very poor lately. Indeed, even with CoD, GP has been poor recently. Still, at least they lowered the price, right? Right...

Subscription gives, subscription takes

All been on a while. And there’s big games coming to replace it.

lol, I have Like a dragon gaiden installed in my console since it was released on gamepass, and when I decided to start playing I got a notification from MS saying that it is leaving the service on nov 15...Now I'm speeding thru the story to get at least that done before it leaves the service. Since the story seem to be shorter, I think I can make it.

Make sure you play The Man Who Erased His Name so you too can cry your eyes out before it leaves the service.

Mission Accepted: Finishing Somerville and Persona 5 Tactica until Nov, 15th

I get what you are saying, @somnambulance, and GP has always been horses for courses. However, the current tactic from Microsoft is to give us one decent game a month to keep us subscribed. That one game maybe done and dusted within a week, but you still need to be subscribed for the entire month, and then the next month too if you want to play the next big game.

The thing is, there used to be a lot more offerings each month, and so it was easy to find 2, 3, 4 or more games that appealed to you and that was enough to occupy you for the entire month.

The point being that Microsoft are being clever in what they do, but it is not really a benefit to us gamers in the way that it was. Yes, it's still cheaper than buying each game individually, but the Service is not as good as it used to be...

Great. I think Sega shouldn't throw away their Like a Dragon games like this.

I finished all LAD and Persona game so nothing that bothers me.

@Nintendo4Sonic completely agree!
I think Sega should take all of its games out of Gamepass. Not only that, Gamepass should cease to exist.
Can you imagine a game company accepting a lot of money from MS to give access to its games to more players? The important thing about a game is being bought not played! Woohoo!

Are these Like a Dragon games as cut scene heavy as the mainline games? Also do they have dub or just subs?

@RBRTMNZ Ishin and Gaiden are traditional real-time fighting style. Ishin is a samurai theme based in feudal Japan. Plenty of action to be had. Both have a lot of cutscenes (a staple of the franchise), though not as much as LAD or LAD: Infinite Wealth.

@Foxx_64740 your ideas are really good.

@Nintendo4Sonic thanks! I knew you would love the part of not playing games.

Ishin is rather lengthy if one takes on the side quests. Thank goodness I stumbled upon on a user who estimates the leaving portion of Gamespass through some sales data on the Xbox/MS store. It gives people on the household more time to finish games.

Thing is, @somnambulance, Microsoft are sitting on a goldmine of games they could be putting on the Service to fill in the shortfall now that they own ABK. There really is no excuse for so few offerings right now and in recent months...

Sega says just from PC Game Pass alone the old Yakuza games do really well so they always renew it, so I gotta wonder if Like a Dragon will be the same.

@Fiendish-Beaver We know they have some Activision stuff in the works based on the two Transformers projects for 2024, so you'd think with 2 months left it'd have to be November before the holiday sales really kick off. You would THINK that, but if so they're taking their sweet time.
