Microsoft is returning with an Xbox Developer Direct next week, promising updates on the much anticipated Indiana Jones game, Obsidian's upcoming fantasy RPG Awoved, and more. The presentation is scheduled to go live next Thursday, January 18 at 1:30am IST in India/ 12pm PT in the US, and will be available to watch on Xbox's official YouTube and Twitch channels. True to the name, the event will include both gameplay footage and developer interviews to best illustrate upcoming titles in the ecosystem, a lot of which will be included with Xbox Game Pass. However, it is worth noting that despite the recently completed acquisition, don't expect any Activision Blizzard games to be shown during the broadcast.
GTA 5 May Leave Xbox Game Pass Soon
21.12.2023 - 18:21 / comingsoon.net / Game Pass / Xbox Game Pass / Xbox Game
The year is coming to a close and Microsoft may have one more surprise up its sleeve as it seems that may leave soon. Some players have received notifications that the game will be one of three due to leave the service on December 31, but only two of those have been confirmed by Microsoft.
Some players have received a notification today via the Xbox Game Pass app that was titled “Leaving Game Pass (31/12)” and urged players to “Play before it’s gone: Grand Theft Auto V. Or, save up to 20% and buy it to keep the fun going.” It’s worth mentioning that while some players on Reddit have received the notification, we have not. As such, it’s only a possibility that the game could be leaving on Dec. 31 as the notifications could have been sent out to a few players in error.
Grand Theft Auto V has been in Xbox Game Pass since its surprise addition on July 5. While six months may seem like a short time, the game has been on Game Pass twice previously in 2020 and 2021. On both of those occasions, players got three months to play the game before it disappeared from the service, making this stint the longest for which the game has ever been available. Fellow Rockstar game Red Dead Redemption 2 was only on Game Pass for three months too.
Most games join Xbox Game Pass for 12 months, although there are lengthier exceptions to that rule. The two games that are confirmed to be leaving Xbox Game Pass on December 31 are Monster Train and Naraka: Bladepoint. The former has been in the service for three years, while the latter is being removed after 18 months.
