8 Games Departing Xbox Game Pass in May 2025

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

Xbox Game Pass is a dynamic online gaming service available for Xbox and PC platforms. Subscribers can enjoy streaming games directly on smart devices and consoles, access new releases on day one based on their subscription tier, and dive into a vast library of high-quality games with friends across console, PC, or cloud. The following eight games are set to be removed from this extensive catalog.

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 exit the service.

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 update was shared via an Xbox Wire post, announcing that Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members can now stream games from the Game Pass library, as well as "select games they own," directly on their Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and Xbox One consoles using cloud streaming technology. While this feature was previously available on smart TVs, PCs, smartphones, and Meta Quest headsets, this marks its debut on consoles.

If the recent news about Grand Theft Auto 6 being delayed until May 2026 has reignited your interest in the series, remember that GTA 5 Enhanced is currently accessible on Xbox Game Pass and Game Pass for PC. This is particularly noteworthy for PC users, as it's the first time GTA 5 has been offered on PC Game Pass.
