Games Pass subscribers can purchase any of the departing games (which are listed below and in a "Games Leaving Soon" section of the Games Pass interface) for 20 percent off list price, maintaining any progress stored in save files if they do.

While the bulk of Games Pass' selection is still made up of legacy titles at least one year old, Microsoft committed in January to making all of its first-party exclusive titles available to Games Pass subscribers on launch day.
