Will you finish it before it leaves? How subscription catalogs rotate
Games come and go from subscription catalogs, and a leaving soon label can turn a relaxed hobby into a race. This guide explains why catalogs rotate, what leaving does and does not mean, and how to decide in a minute whether you can finish a game in time.
Drag the sliders in the playtime planner to see how game length, your weekly hours and days left add up, then choose to play, skip or buy.
