It would be nice if Gamepass had the date when games expire from it

mikeslemonade2126d ago

Looks like I gotta play DMC5 then

Hakuoro2126d ago (Edited 2126d ago )

PSNow list the amount of days left on the service from the very first day so you know exactly when they leave. Though I have noticed several games have gotten extensions as long as 3 more months and some games have started with 6 months.

MadLad2125d ago

Yeah.

Gamepass is a great service, but they really should list when games will be taken off, so you can plan your playing accordingly.

FlyGuyHung2126d ago

Games always leave on the 15th and end of each month.
Games announced to be leaving at the start of the month always leave on the 15th and games announced to be leaving in the middle of the month always leaves at the end of the month.
So basically it's always a 2 weeks notice.

Kavorklestein2125d ago

That is a an excellent tip.
Thanks for sharing

So games leave gamepass there not always vailiable? What if you download a game uninstall it then in 4 months time you want to play again is it still in your library

alb18992126d ago

Devil May Cry 5 has more than 6 moths on gamepass. That should be enough for you to finish the game on every mode an play it again for fun.

RamRod882126d ago

It was on the service for 12 months. More than enough time to finish the game. If someone didn't, that's on them.

Father__Merrin2126d ago

So as I understand as long as its still installed you can still play it yes?

monkey6022126d ago

@father

No. It will prompt you to pay for the game

Tedakin2126d ago

They give you 6 months to a year to play it. If you didn't in that time, you didn't really want to play it to begin with.

ThereGoThatManQ2125d ago

Or life and backlogs and new games

Games1st2126d ago

Till middle of August. Devil May Cry 5 is fun.

Indigon2126d ago

What happens when you just started a game that leaves the service? You're just out of luck in that case? Sounds shitty to me.

Valkron12126d ago

They offer discounts on the games in Gamepass so if you want to keep them forever you can. I have bought a few games I liked as they were leaving with discounts. If I like a game that I want to stay in my library what's wrong with supporting the developer too?

TGGJustin2126d ago

Yep. Once it leaves you can't play it anymore.

RamRod882126d ago

Games are on the service for 6-12 months. If someone's really compelled to play the game, they will before it leaves.

L7CHAPEL2125d ago (Edited 2125d ago )

my understanding is any Microsoft exclusive doesn't leave the service though, Halo games, sea of thieves etc, stay on the service, if it's a XBox/ms exclusive

RamRod882125d ago

I'm only talking about games that will leave the service. I didn't think I needed to clarify, with the exception of 1st party games. I will next time.

Tedakin2126d ago

You had like a year to finish it. That's your problem.

Father__Merrin2126d ago

That's where publishers will be on board essentially it sounds like a full game demo in a way so if you start a game then next week it finishes you get a discount etc.

Sounds like the appeal is only to play the latest games without ownership sub for a year and you have games to always play I'm not keen on the revolving mechanism as the games should always be there

L7CHAPEL2125d ago

I feel you on that, but also third-party Dev's have to know that this is something that's going to make them money.
even from the extended rental philosophy it's still a hell of a deal

Unfortunately I think so. Not anytime soon. But in a few years time. They want that on everything.

Won't happen, software is where all the money is made. These companies take losses on these consoles and then make up for it with software sales.
