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

Xbox Game Pass offers an expansive online gaming experience for Xbox and PC platforms, allowing subscribers to stream games directly on smart devices and consoles, enjoy new releases on day one depending on their subscription level, and access a vast library of top-tier games with friends across console, PC, or cloud. It is from this extensive catalog that the following eight titles will be removed:

• 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 set to unveil Wave 2 of the May 2025 Game Pass lineup soon after these games are removed from the service.

In other recent updates, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members have been granted a new perk: the ability to stream select games directly to their consoles without the need for downloads. This development was shared via an Xbox Wire post, where Xbox disclosed that 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, S, and Xbox One consoles through cloud streaming. Previously, this feature was available on smart TVs, PCs, smartphones, and Meta Quest headsets, but this marks its debut on consoles.

For fans disheartened by the recent news that Grand Theft Auto 6 has been delayed to May 2026, diving back into GTA 5 might be the perfect remedy. Excitingly, GTA 5 Enhanced is now accessible on both Xbox Game Pass and Game Pass for PC, marking the first time the enhanced version has been available on PC Game Pass.
