[xBox/WinPC] - The Game Pass Departure Master

Users of the xBox Game Pass service might have already caught wind of the fact that one of the most recent Taiko no Tatsujin games -The Drum Master- is one of the next titles that are leaving the subscription-based program at the end of this January, meaning that only a digital purchase of the game will allow users to enjoy it afterwards.

Much like former game deletions from the service, a 20% discount is offered to ongoing Game Pass players in order to purchase any of the soon-leaving titles, the PC-friendly Taiko game very much included. This has nothing to do about the actual game's DLC longevity for the point being, but seeing as the game is about to turn one year old, we'll have to wait for further developments on whether is this a service-discontinuation telltale sign or not.
