8 Games to Exit Xbox Game Pass in May 2025

Microsoft has recently disclosed the list of games that will be exiting its popular Xbox Game Pass subscription service on May 15, 2025. A total of eight titles are scheduled to leave the platform, including beloved games 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 subscription service designed for both Xbox and PC platforms. Subscribers enjoy seamless access to a vast library of high-quality games, with options to stream directly on smart devices, consoles, and even the cloud. Depending on the subscription tier, members can play brand-new releases on day one and connect with friends across multiple devices. The removal of these eight games stems from the expiration of their licensing agreements within the service.

Microsoft plans to unveil the second wave of its May 2025 Game Pass lineup shortly after these titles exit the service.

In other recent developments, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members gained a new benefit earlier this month: the ability to stream select games directly onto their consoles without needing to download them first. This announcement was made in an Xbox Wire post, revealing that users can now stream games from both the Game Pass catalog and their personal collections on Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One consoles via cloud technology. Previously, this feature was available exclusively on smart TVs, PCs, smartphones, and Meta Quest headsets, making this the first time it extends to consoles.

If the recent delay of Grand Theft Auto 6 to May 2026 has sparked nostalgia for GTA 5, Xbox Game Pass subscribers can rejoice—both the original and enhanced versions of GTA 5 are now available on the service. The addition to PC Game Pass is particularly noteworthy, marking the first time the game has been accessible through the platform.
