Summary

  • At least eight titles are leaving Xbox Game Pass on May 15.
  • Many of these titles are on the shorter side, so players still have some time to play them before they're gone.
  • Games leaving Xbox Game Pass on May 15 include Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, Chants of Sennaar, Dune: Spice Wars, Planet of Lana, and The Big Con.

Microsoft recently revealed that at least eight titles will leave the Xbox Game Pass subscription service on May 15, 2025. The list of games leaving Xbox Game Pass includes some highly rated games such as Chants of Sennaar and Planet of Lana. Fortunately, most of these titles leaving the service are fairly short, and some can be completed in just a few hours.

Every month, new games are added to Xbox Game Pass, while others leave the service. Seven games left Xbox Game Pass at the end of April, including EA Sports NHL 23, Have a Nice Death, Kona 2: Brume, Sniper Elite 5, The Last Case of Benedict Fox, Thirsty Suitors, and The Rewinder.

Now, Microsoft has revealed that the list of titles leaving Xbox Game Pass on May 15 includes Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, Chants of Sennaar, Dune: Spice Wars, Hauntii, Jurassic World Evolution 2, Little Kitty, Big City, Planet of Lana, and The Big Con. These are generally well-regarded titles, with the puzzle game Chants of Sennaar and platformer Planet of Lana standing out as the most critically acclaimed. Fortunately, gamers can beat most of these titles in less than 10 hours if focusing only on the main quest, except for Dune: Spice Wars, which is a tad longer. Completing all the content in these games may not be so quick, though, as Jurassic World Evolution 2 takes around 99 hours for completionists, according to HowLongToBeat. Alternatively, these games can be purchased with a 20% discount before they leave the service.

Fortunately, Game Pass has many excellent titles added to its service every month. Two of the most high-profile games to appear on Xbox Game Pass recently were Oblivion Remastered and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, which seem to be doing well even outside the service.

Earlier this week, Xbox Game Pass added Towerborne, Far Cry 4, Anno 1800, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, and it has multiple titles lined up for the rest of May. The list of upcoming games includes Dredge, and some day-one releases such as Revenge of the Savage Planet and To A T.

The most noteworthy Xbox Game Pass game in May will likely be DOOM: The Dark Ages, though, which will be out on May 15. This first-party Microsoft title works as a prequel to the 2016 Doom, and it has been hyping up gamers with its unique gameplay, which adds a new shield weapon, a dragon for players to ride, and much more.
