8 Games to Exit Xbox Game Pass in May 2025

Microsoft has announced that eight games will be departing from its Xbox Game Pass subscription service on May 15, 2025. The titles set to leave include Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, Jurassic World Evolution 2, and Little Kitty, Big City, among others.

Xbox Game Pass is a comprehensive online gaming service available for Xbox and PC platforms. Subscribers can stream games directly on smart devices and consoles, enjoy new releases on their first day, and access a vast library of high-quality games with friends across console, PC, or cloud. The games scheduled to be removed from the catalog are:

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 poised to reveal Wave 2 of the May 2025 Game Pass lineup shortly after these games depart from the service.

Earlier this month, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members received a new benefit: the option to stream certain games directly to their consoles without needing to download them. This feature was detailed in an Xbox Wire post, which highlighted that Xbox Game Pass Ultimate Members can now stream games from the Game Pass catalog and select owned games on their Xbox Series X, Series S, and Xbox One consoles through cloud streaming. Previously, this functionality was available on smart TVs, PCs, smartphones, and Meta Quest headsets, marking a first for console streaming.

In other news, the delay of Grand Theft Auto 6 to May 2026 may have you looking to revisit GTA 5. Fortunately, GTA 5 Enhanced is currently available on Xbox Game Pass and Game Pass for PC, making it an exciting option, especially since it's the first time the game has been offered on PC Game Pass.
