Xbox Game Pass loses Celeste, Five Nights at Freddy's, and eight more games soon

Might give Carto a go before it drops out since I have some free time this week.

Carto - Nice wee puzzle game, quick 1000.
Celeste - Very easy when playing with the accessibility options. Quick 600-800 GS
EastShade - Easy 1000, Easy walking rpg, abit broken in places and lacked direction. Guide required.
FNAF2 - Level skip is abit annoying and only works on PC. Easy 1000

In case nobody said anything about Five Nights at Freddy's, all four games pretty much cannot have a completion time.
The actual content that you need to play for completion will take about 1-2 hours for each game. However, some of the nights are so ridiculously luck and skill dependent and will take many hours to get through even one night. (Five Nights at Freddy's 3 is the best example, probably the hardest) That's why Five Nights at Freddy's 4 has an estimate of 10-12 hours... The actual content of the game takes about an hour and a half, while the other 10 hours is just failures. And it can easily take more or less time than that.

Toca1FTW said:Thanks for posting it! There are so many games available that I just play whatever is going away lol. I’m definitely using the list you posted to start preemptive strikes on upcoming games that may be leaving. My prime example is injustice 2, the game arrived in game pass in January and it takes a LOT of time for RNG to give you the stupidest achievement yet.

Was just about to start Celeste and realized it was GWG so no rush on that one if like me you added it to your Gold collection.

Already completed Carto a few months ago as part of one of the 10000 Reward Point promos. It was well made game with a heartfelt story and well worth checking out. I might go for the PC stack but would rather spend time on others I haven't played yet.

Not going to bother with Unruly Heroes as that sounds like too much of a time commitment.

So, its down to Eastshade, Knights & Bikes, and the FNaF series. I think the FNaF series might get me bogged down so maybe will try to finish the other two and see if I have time. If not could always buy FNaF series at deep discount but it seems like it gets such mixed reviews I'm not sure it's worth the expense or time. We shall see. It being Halloween month does tilt me towards at least trying them out tho...

I almost started Eastshade but decided to watch a video of it before and animals talking feels weird man. Not going to bother. xD

Confirmed today to be October 31st

It's a little busy to look at, but has loads of data which you can arrange however you like. For the purpose of this thread, you will want to look at the "Likely Leaving" and "Leaving Soon" tabs (located at the bottom of the sheet). Anyway, just slapping a tool out there for the masses.

A big thank you to the walkthrough and guide writers for Carto, Eastshade and Knights and Bikes. I never would have finished any of these to completion in time, let alone all three in less than 2 weeks without your help. You are all legends.

How is it possible that 6 pages of gamers who finished Eastshade did it in 0mins?!! Is there a command function on the Windows version? I finished it it 9hrs on console. 😱

Does anyone know what time/timezone games are normally removed?

Finished Knights & Bikes but didn't get around to Eastshade (maybe will pick it up on deep sale someday). K & B is a solid little title with great heart and art design. I enjoyed the thematic elements about family, loss, grief, the playful creativity of children dealing with trauma, the loss of innocence as we become adults and perhaps a nudge towards trying to maintain that wide eyed wonder at life rather than being overcome by cynicism. It looks and plays like a game for a younger audience but the themes it deals with are for the older set. The light RPG character progression and action sequences are fun. On the downside, the collectathon achievements are super annoying and without a walk thru I would've not bothered past a certain point. Overall worth it on GP and prob worth a few bucks on sale if u didn't catch it.
