Microsoft has recently disclosed the list of games scheduled to leave its popular Xbox Game Pass subscription service starting May 15, 2025. A total of eight titles will be removed, featuring beloved games such as Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, Jurassic World Evolution 2, and Little Kitty, Big City.
Xbox Game Pass offers users access to a vast library of games across Xbox and PC platforms. Subscribers enjoy the convenience of streaming games directly on smart devices, consoles, and even new releases on day one, depending on their subscription tier. The service fosters social gaming experiences by allowing players to connect with friends on various platforms. However, certain titles will soon be removed from the catalog, including Chants of Sennaar, Dune: Spice Wars, Hauntii, Planet of Lana, and The Big Con, alongside the aforementioned games.
In other exciting developments, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members gained a new feature this month: the ability to stream select games directly to their consoles without needing to download them. This announcement came through an Xbox Wire post, marking the first time cloud streaming is available on Xbox consoles. Previously, this functionality was accessible on smart TVs, PCs, smartphones, and Meta Quest devices.
If the recent news of Grand Theft Auto 6's delay until May 2026 has sparked nostalgia for GTA 5, Xbox Game Pass members can rejoice—both the original version and the enhanced edition are now available on Xbox Game Pass and Game Pass for PC. The latter marks the first time GTA 5 is offered on the PC Game Pass platform, providing fans with a fresh opportunity to revisit the classic game.
