Xbox Game Pass is an expansive online gaming platform for Xbox and PC, allowing subscribers to stream games directly on smart devices and consoles, enjoy new releases on their release day, and explore a vast library of premium games with friends across various platforms. The following eight games will be removed from this catalog:
Games leaving Xbox Game Pass in May are:
- Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons
- Chants of Sennaar
- Dune: Spice Wars
- Hauntii

Microsoft is poised to unveil the second wave of the May 2025 Game Pass lineup shortly after these titles are removed from the service.
In a recent update, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members have been granted a new benefit: the ability to stream select games directly to their consoles without the need for downloading. This feature was highlighted in an Xbox Wire post, which detailed that Ultimate members can now stream games from the Game Pass library, as well as certain owned titles, on their Xbox Series X, Series S, and Xbox One consoles through cloud streaming. While this feature was previously available on smart TVs, PCs, smartphones, and Meta Quest headsets, its extension to consoles marks a significant enhancement.
In light of the recent announcement that Grand Theft Auto 6 has been delayed to May 2026, fans eager to revisit the franchise can turn to GTA 5. Notably, GTA 5 Enhanced is now accessible on Xbox Game Pass and Game Pass for PC, marking its debut on PC Game Pass—a first for the platform.
