8 Games to Exit Xbox Game Pass in May 2025

by Bella May 14,2025

Microsoft has revealed which games will be leaving its Xbox Game Pass subscription service on May 15, 2025. In total, eight games are set to depart, including Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, Jurassic World Evolution 2, and Little Kitty, Big City.

Xbox Game Pass is a comprehensive online gaming service available for Xbox and PC platforms, allowing subscribers to stream games directly on smart devices and consoles. Depending on their subscription tier, members can enjoy new games on day one and access a vast catalog of high-quality games with friends on console, PC, or cloud. The following eight games are being removed from this catalog.

Play**Games leaving Xbox Game Pass in May are:** --------------------------------------------
  • 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 expected to announce Wave 2 of the May 2025 Game Pass lineup shortly after these games exit the subscription service.

Earlier this month, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members received a new perk: the ability to stream some games directly to their consoles, eliminating the need for downloads.

This update was shared in an Xbox Wire post, where Xbox 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 and S and Xbox One consoles via cloud streaming. Previously, this feature was available on smart TVs, PCs, smartphones, and Meta Quest headsets, but this marks the first time it's been extended to consoles.

If the recent news that Grand Theft Auto 6 has been delayed to May 2026 has you eager to dive back into GTA 5, remember that GTA 5 Enhanced is now available on Xbox Game Pass and Game Pass for PC. This is particularly exciting for PC users, as it's the first time the game has been offered on PC Game Pass.
