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. This includes titles such as Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, Jurassic World Evolution 2, and Little Kitty, Big City.

Xbox Game Pass is a versatile online gaming platform available for Xbox and PC, allowing subscribers to stream games directly on smart devices and consoles. Depending on the subscription tier, members can enjoy new releases on launch day and access a vast library of high-quality games. These games can be enjoyed with friends on various devices including consoles, PCs, or via cloud streaming. The following titles are set to leave the service:

Games Departing Xbox Game Pass in May:

• 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 plans to unveil the second wave of the May 2025 Game Pass lineup soon after these games exit the service.

In a recent update, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members received a new perk: the ability to stream select games directly to their consoles without the need for downloading. This feature was detailed in an Xbox Wire post, which highlighted that Ultimate members can now stream games from the Game Pass catalog, as well as some of their owned titles, directly on Xbox Series X, S, and Xbox One consoles through cloud streaming. Previously, this capability was available on smart TVs, PCs, smartphones, and Meta Quest headsets, marking this as the first time it's been extended to consoles.

In other news, if the recent announcement that Grand Theft Auto 6 has been pushed back to May 2026 has reignited your interest in the franchise, remember that GTA 5 Enhanced is now accessible through Xbox Game Pass and Game Pass for PC. This is particularly thrilling for PC gamers, as it marks the first time GTA 5 has been offered on PC Game Pass.
