8 Games to Exit Xbox Game Pass in May 2025

Microsoft has revealed the list of games that will be departing from its Xbox Game Pass subscription service on May 15, 2025. A total of eight titles are scheduled to leave the service, including Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, Jurassic World Evolution 2, and Little Kitty, Big City.

Xbox Game Pass is a premier online gaming service available for Xbox and PC platforms. Subscribers enjoy the ability to stream games directly on smart devices and consoles, gain access to new titles on their release day based on their subscription tier, and explore a vast catalog of high-quality games with friends across console, PC, or cloud. The following eight games are set to be removed from this extensive library.

• Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons
• Chants of Sennaar
• Dune: Spice Wars
• Hauntii
• Jurassic World Evolution 2
• Little Kitty, Big City
• Planet of Lana
• The Big Con

Microsoft is poised to unveil Wave 2 of the May 2025 Game Pass lineup shortly after these games are removed from the subscription service.

In an exciting update earlier this month, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members received a new perk: the ability to stream select games directly to their consoles, eliminating the need for downloads.

This feature was detailed in an Xbox Wire post, which announced that Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members can now stream games from the Game Pass catalog, as well as "select games they own," on their Xbox Series X, Series S, and Xbox One consoles via cloud streaming. While this capability was previously available on smart TVs, PCs, smartphones, and Meta Quest headsets, this marks the first time it's been extended to Xbox consoles.

For fans disheartened by the recent announcement that Grand Theft Auto 6 has been delayed to May 2026, there's good news if you're eager to dive back into the GTA universe. GTA 5 Enhanced is now accessible on Xbox Game Pass and Game Pass for PC, with the PC version being particularly noteworthy as it's the first time the game has been included in the PC Game Pass catalog.
