Microsoft has announced that several games will be departing from its Xbox Game Pass subscription service on May 15, 2025. A total of eight titles will be removed, including fan favorites such as Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, Jurassic World Evolution 2, and Little Kitty, Big City.

Xbox Game Pass is a dynamic online gaming service available for Xbox and PC, allowing subscribers to stream games directly on smart devices and consoles. With different subscription tiers, members can enjoy new game releases on day one, play with friends across console, PC, or cloud, and access a vast library of high-quality games. The following games are scheduled to leave the service:

• 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 reveal Wave 2 of the May 2025 Game Pass lineup shortly after these games are removed from the service.

In a recent update, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members have been granted a new feature: the ability to stream select games directly to their consoles without downloading them. This functionality, previously available on smart TVs, PCs, smartphones, and Meta Quest headsets, is now extended to Xbox Series X, S, and Xbox One consoles via cloud streaming, as shared in a recent Xbox Wire post.

If the news of Grand Theft Auto 6 being delayed until May 2026 has you eager to dive back into the GTA world, remember that GTA 5 Enhanced is now accessible on Xbox Game Pass and Game Pass for PC. This marks the first time the enhanced version has been offered on PC Game Pass, adding an exciting option for PC gamers.
