Fantastic lineup! Only one blemish: DQXI leaving, but it has been two years, it's to be expected.

I should probably run through Firewatch before it leaves.

Chained Echoes is cool as that's the game by one guy or something right?

High on Life will definitely be the big thing for me this month

From the Leaving Soon list, please play these two games. I thought they were delightful.
  • Firewatch (Cloud, Console, and PC)
  • Lake (Cloud, Console, and PC)

Very LTTP: Firewatch (open spoilers)

THIS GAME IS ON GAMEPASS. IF YOU'VE BEEN INTRIGUED BY IT IN THE PAST, YOU HAVE A FREE TICKET TO THE SHOW. Ah, Firewatch. What a beautiful, intriguing game. My SO isn't a good gamer at all, so quite often we dip in & out of games that are narrative-driven so I can play while they make...

www.resetera.com

Lake is a wonderful palate cleanser

Yup, you're looking at the gameplay. That's about the long & short of it. There's no combat, no action, no physical confrontations, no danger, and no twitchy reactions required. There's technically a "sprint" button, but it's more like Meredith just walks slightly faster. It's 1986 and you drive...

DQXI is one of my favorite games I've ever played. If you didn't play it in the last 2 years, you missed out.

DQ leaving :( I only played the first part, but I was told that it's the better part.
At least I finished Lake, Firewatch and Lodoss War.

That looks like one of the largest non-Bethesda dumps I've seen on a tweet. Lots of good family/kids appealing games.

There's the walking dead season someone was asking about a while back haha

I've been holding out on getting Eastward on Switch because they said it was coming to other systems eventually. Game Pass makes it even better.

It was not. I think it might have been leaked through a ratings board awhile back, but it was just released today.

I also just got it on the Switch fairly recently, so I feel your pain lol.

I had a feeling DQ11 would leave eventually so picked it up on Steam a few months back, good shout as I would never have finished it by now. Quick tip for anyone half way through and looking to pick up a copy - you can actually convert the saves from Game Pass to Steam through renaming.

Hot Wheels is a hell of a get considering its the GOTY edition with all the DLC, I got the base game through Humble Monthly and just got the GOTY upgrade during the sales. I really need to drag myself away from Ragnarok to go through Firewatch and Lake. I've also had Aliens Fireteam sitting on my SSD since it launched and not played it once - worth giving it a try or just uninstall it?

Everyone should at least try out Eastward if they have Game Pass.

I expect a lot of people's opinions will vary on how good it actually is, but its at least very surprising and quirky and undeniably looks utterly amazing. Its something that everyone should try for themselves in my opinion.

Is that a shadow drop for Eastward? Had not heard it was getting a Xbox or Playstation release?

That was probably me haha
I'm glad it's finally here!

I played all of the other seasons right before they got added to GP, so I ended up waiting for the last one... Waiting and waiting.

It's been exactly a year I think

Oh, you're right.
In my mind it was added in january, so I was planning on doing it during the holidays. But I was wrong.

Random Thursday drop it is! (I know I know, first of the month).

Hot Wheels is an awesome surprise. And the fully decked out version too? Hell yeah. Pity I need to wait until the 15th...

For those wondering what's in the hot wheels version:

Great drop!! I was interested in Potion Craft. Didn't even realize it was coming to console :o Maybe I'll play it on PC? We'll see.

Ok let's talk about these leaving games. First: Neoverse. Not a great game IMO, but man it's been on this service FOREVER. I have no idea if this was from a time that they just made long ass deals or if people really liked clicking on that cover art..

Firewatch and Dragon Quest leaving. Not unexpected (expected them sooner actually). But still.

And.. games can LEAVE EA Play?? I didn't know that...
