Do games ever get removed from Game Pass, or once they're added do they just stay in the lineup forever? (Getting an Xbox One today and curious about how this works.)

They get removed. It is just like Netflix.

GamePass gets new games monthly. However, it doesn't lose games monthly. I suppose each one has a different time contract.

I'm glad for the folks that get to try this for the first time. Just a couple tips. Before you jump into the game look up some pros camera settings and switch yours because default camera is garbage, also you are gonna want to change the default button bindings. The game has a steep learning curve and a ton of depth but it is totally worth it. When considering time played RL is definetely one of my favorite games of all time. Hope psyonix gets X enhancements worked out quickly as well.

Good luck.

They are still a pretty small team. They have done a lot of work on the Switch version since launch(it was ported by another dev) and this summer has some huge updates where they overhaul the XP system, account system adding crossplay parties and rocket pass. I'm guess the enhanced patch needed to be put in the backburner till these are all done.

I don't care for any of the excuses it should have been there long before now.

The port was done by Panic Button, who seems to be busy with switch ports at the moment. Unfortunately this port seems to have taken a backseat. It really could benefit from an X patch

This would be awesome news if multiplayer wasn't still tied to Xbox Live Gold. I'm not paying for 2 subs on one platform. Multiplayer really needs to be added as a feature to gamepass.

Great news! For me, at least. Been wanting to play this game a lot recently for no particular reason (I whiffed on recent free weekends due to schedule). At the very least, this will make for a good monthly "rental" via the Game Pass (currently doing a .99 trial).

MS has been very impressive with their Game Pass maneuvering. As a big fan and user of the EA Pass/Vault, this sub model approach is winning me over.

Very cool!

I wonder how this might change the active player base by platform. If Xbox One already has 35% of the active player base despite releasing a year later and never being free with Gold, Game Pass could seriously boost those numbers further.

Interesting, I hadn't seen this stat! I platinumed it on PS4 so mainly play on Xbox/Switch now. I fucking love Rocket League,

I love Rocket League, but it has a bunch of loot box bullshit and they probably hope to make money that way.
Rocket League was my introduction to loot boxes. It confused me. How do I unlock them? How do you earn keys? I have to buy them? What's the point of that if you don't even know what's in the box? Lol nobody would spend money on that it's stupid.

Boy was I in for a rude awakening...

I still haven't tried Rocket League lol.

If this does go into Game Pass then I have no excuse to not at least give it a go.

Sweet,
I own this on Xbox & Switch. Now I can have it for PC with game pass.

Too bad there is no cross progression.

That seriously needs to be the next big thing with cellphones, consoles and PC.

Nice to see Rocket League still doing well, it's a great game. Is it ... three years old now? I remember getting it on PS+ in July of 2015.

I don't follow Rocket League, and played for the first time on the Xbox One last night.. I got a be honest, it was a HUGE disappointment to sse that this game is still not Enhanced.

Running it side by side with an og Xbox One (I have both side by side), it does load a little bit faster, but overall it looks kind of blurry on a 4K display.

Sucks to hear that the patch won't come until the end of the year.. The game is really fun.

I wonder if there will be cross progression with their season pass.

If not I'll probably stick with the Switch version.
