Well we know that hospital game releases soon.

Considering how they hyped the month, there has to be more.

I expect at least one of the Yakuza games (or maybe all of them) but I still hope for a nice surprise (Control, RE2, Sekiro, MK 11, Hitman 2)

Stranger things 3 seems to be sure, Yakuza 0 would be welcome, they are long games so if they put all Yakuza games at once you will get overwhelmed (platinum time for Yakuza 0 is +125 hours)

All of them were announced as coming to Game Pass in early 2020. They don't have a lot of options right now.

Also, the DLC for games are not included in the game pass, right?

I have a few questions about Game Pass if anyone could answer them that would be fantastic!

1. If you subscribe to game pass and can play any game for as long as you are subscribed what would be the point of being able to purchase that game at a cheaper price through gamepass? For example. Lets say Final Fantasy VII remake comes to game pass, you finish the entire game 100% and then move onto something else, so you delete it. But a year later you want to replay it. Could you not just redownload it (for free if you are still subscribed to gamepass) instead of dropping the initial $60?

2. Is there a limit to the amount of games you can download and play on gamepass at once?

3. Why would they remove any games from gamepass?

1. Unless you want to replay games there's not really a point IMO. Might be useful for stuff like Rocket League or terribly long games that you wouldn't be able to finish while you're subscribed. However, you also get a small discount on DLCs of games that are in Game Pass so that's a little more useful.
Most games leave after 12 months, so replaying them on Game Pass might not be possible. However there are a few cases of games returning such as Fallout 4, The Division and Metal Gear Solid V.

2. no

3. It would be more expensive for MS to keep all games on Game Pass forever. They chose to have a bigger selection of games that will move in and out instead of a smaller selection that is permanently available. I pretty much never replay games so this ideal for me because I know that for every game they're removing, I'm getting at least one new one.

Removed:

Disney Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two
Pumped BMX Pro
Rage
Shadow of the Tomb Raider
The Jackbox Party Pack 2

Games that will be removed at the end of the month:

Batman: Arkham Asylum
Batman: Arkham City
Just Cause 4
Rise of the Tomb Raider
Snake Pass

Noooo, not Epic Mickey 2!

The rest of the games already removed or soon to be removed I already have on Steam, so no big loss for me. Except Just Cause 4, so I will look into this or next week.

Not usually no, though in some cases, like with FFXV, they give you the version of the game that includes all the DLC

Usually not but there have been a few first party DLCs that were added to Game Pass such as Halo Reach for Halo: MCC (worth $10) and Heartland for State of Decay 2 (worth $10). There are also a few GOTY editions of other games that come with all DLCs.

Thanks for confirming that it is the Royal Edition.

I was unsure because it never explicitly stated that it was the Royal Edition but it appeared that way on my Xbox. I figured this was due to me having bought the Royal Edition before so I wouldn't get to see the standard icon.

Yeah same here. Just Cause 4 is the only one I haven't completed out of the bunch. Still have two weeks left but might not play it at all.

Depends on the version but you get a discount on DLC when you have gamepass.
