Off cycle times - may be related to sales or free play weekends, may just be random. Could also be shifts from Game Pass Ultimate to Standard or Core. Some recent additions also haven't settled into a normal 1st / 16th departure date yet.


Far future dates, mostly first party and EA Play.

When getting the sale list for this week, a lot of items are flagged to go on sale on Monday, Dec 2. There's a total of 2,369 items, though 373 are currently flagged as not available and may have only been flagged because a parent game or bundle has a price set for that date. Still, it's a lot of items, and many DLCs for items in the Black Friday sale, which ends the following morning.

Posting to give people a heads up in case some DLC goes on sale that might prompt a game purchase from the Black Friday sale during the sale overlap.

The list from Monday evening:

Dec 3 update - with the Black Friday sale ended, the count of items on the Xbox store dated for the Countdown sale more than doubled, from 961 to 2,062.

New items from Dec 3


Items removed as of Dec 3 - all items now dated for the Dec 8


Items already in list
