As spotted by Alias79514632 on Twitter, the updated Microsoft Store app on PC has begun showing what looks to be a date for when a game will leave Xbox Game Pass or when a title’s 20% Game Pass discount will end. At the moment, we can’t say for sure what the date is, but generally, when a game’s 20% Game Pass discount is up, it means the title’s time in the service has also come to an end. Just remember here that none of this is confirmed, so don’t take these dates as gospel.
We’ve had a peek at the Store ourselves and can confirm we are seeing dates for a wide variety of different Xbox Game Pass titles, though not all of them. Games such as Hades, Resident Evil 7 Biohazard, Among Us, Back 4 Blood, Outer Wilds, Yakuza 3, Yakuza 4, Yakuza 5, Yakuza 6, Children of Morta, Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster, Stardew Valley, and many, many more, are now all showing dates on their Store pages. Most of the dates displayed seem to line up with the game being in service for around 12 months. Here is what we’ve found so far:
- Yakuza 3 Remastered (Windows) – January 31st, 2022
- Yakuza 4 Remastered (Windows) – January 31st, 2022

The Microsoft Store PC app is showing dates for loads more games, though some, such as Spelunky 2, Dead Cells, and Generation Zero, don’t seem to show dates at all.
We should hear about what games are officially leaving Xbox Game Pass at the end of the month from Microsoft in the coming days. If the dates that we’ve found are correct, then Yakuza 3, 4, 5, and A Plague Tale: Innocence should all be in Microsoft’s official announcement.
Again, none of this has been confirmed, and while it is looking promising, take this information with a pinch of salt. We can’t say for certain that these games will leave on the dates shown.
