An Xbox Exclusive Game is Getting Delisted on September 30

by

The Drum Master,” developed by Bandai Namco Entertainment for Xbox in 2022, will be removed from sale on September 30th. This means that if you’re interested in getting this game, you have only about two months left to buy it from the Xbox Store.

The Taiko no Tatsujin series, which includes rhythm-based games, has been popular since the early 2000s and has been released on multiple platforms over the years. Among these releases, The Drum Master was unique as it was an exclusive for Xbox. It made its debut on January 27, 2022, and was accessible via Xbox Game Pass. As the title suggests, Taiko no Tatsujin: The Drum Master centers around playing the taiko drum, with players challenged to maintain rhythm across more than 70 songs. While gamers who enjoy this series have generally appreciated the gameplay, unfortunately, it was taken off Xbox Game Pass in 2023. Now, it seems that fans of rhythm games are running out of time to buy a copy before it’s no longer available.

The Drum Master” was never physically released, so tracking down a copy of the beloved rhythm game becomes impossible.

Taiko no Tatsujin: The Drum Master is Being Delisted on September 30

I’m really bummed out because Bandai Namco Entertainment hasn’t given a reason for taking down Taiko no Tatsujin: The Drum Master from their store, which they announced on the series’ official website. However, before it disappears, you can still grab a copy for $49.99 on Xbox Store. It’s good to mention that additional DLC packs will continue to be available even after the game has been delisted. And here’s some great news for those who already own the game – you’ll still have access to it past September 30, and if you ever need to re-download it, you can do so whenever necessary.

Although Taiko no Tatsujin: The Drum Master has been taken off the market, its developer has launched a new installment in the series since then. To be precise, Taiko no Tatsujin: Rhythm Festival is playable on Xbox consoles, as well as Nintendo Switch and Steam. This game provides additional rhythm-focused gameplay for fans of the franchise to enjoy.

Although it’s unfortunate about the news concerning Taiko no Tatsujin: The Drum Master, Xbox enthusiasts still have plenty of other games to look forward to in the near future. For instance, Xbox Game Pass has just added Farming Simulator 25 to its collection, and Gears of War: Reloaded is scheduled for release on August 26.
