    Time to get back to Garden Story. Another GP title I started during the Bean Dive that I do not remember in the slightest.

    I'm not sure why this seems to be confusing people. It wasn't announced that it would be leaving at the normal time of the month, so it's also not leaving at the normal time. This seems to be a common thing with Rockstar specifically - both RDR2 and GTAV have been added multiple times, but they never seem to stay as long as games normally do (roughly 6 months while other games are at least 12 months) and not necessarily on the same schedule as others.

    Annoying, but I guess it's probably a combination of Rockstar's power and them not really needing GP to promote the games, and Microsoft's willingness to make special deals with them in order to have the games to help promote GP.

    It's confusing since Microsoft themselves said it would be leaving at the end of the month, as seen the image in GTA 5 could leave Xbox Game Pass soon. I'm guessing that date is a typo from Microsoft, but therefore it's hard to blame people for being confused (as far as I know MS has not clarified the situation).

    GTA V still remains in the "leaving soon" section, so I would assume it is leaving 14 days after it was added there (this Thursday/Friday I think? Could be mistaken).

    Persona 3/4 were fun, but I'm glad I don't have to rush them now. I managed the completion on both in December. The "creatively pessimistic" what could be leaving Game Pass threads on Reddit have saved me some headaches over the last year or so.

    Strange, didn't they just put Persona games up in November? Why are they going away so fast?
    Persona 4 Golden was added in Janunary 2023. So it's been a year.
    Fair enough, makes sense

    Sad I chose to play P3P which I didn't knew when I started - is the worst possible version of Persona 3. No animations, weird navigation like from a cheap point 'n' click title et cetera. Persona 5-like remake incoming for 3, while nothing renewed for Four. Oh well.
    Atlus has become very lazy as of late. They purposely ported the version that would take them the least amount of effort because they knew it would sell no matter what.

    Between how underwhelming Soul Hackers 2 and Tactica were, I have a VERY bad feeling about Persona 3 Reloaded or Revolutions or whatever it's called.

    Started P3P and P4G a month or so ago because I knew they were leaving in Jan. These are definitely worth owning and not rushing but seeing as I pre-ordered both of the expensive Limited Run special edition physical copies, and the fact they take a year+ to be made and shipped, I wanna knock these out. 95% done with P3P and 50% with P4G; don't know if I can do it with real life and Diablo 4 interfering, lol.

    I figured the Persona games were leaving, eyeing the collection now, I don't think they will get any cheaper than that.

    Yeah, I've been trying to play it for the last month or so because I figured it was leaving and I just can't make myself.
