The best Sci-Fi strategy game you've never played and 7 others leave Xbox Game Pass in May 2025
A brilliant strategy title, a cosy cat exploration game and more leave Xbox Game Pass this month in a difficult loss for the service.
More great games are leaving Xbox Game Pass, so you might want to rush to get them completed before they're stripped from the service.
Xbox Game Pass has a lot of great goodies to offer in the coming month, as it rides an incredible high. After the Xbox Game Pass return of GTA 5 and arrival of critical darlings Blue Prince and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, the service has proved itself with games of incredibly high quality.
It's not all sunshine and rainbows for subscribers, though, as games seem to keep hemorrhaging from the service. A mass Yakuza Xbox Game Pass exodus has led the home of the Like A Dragon franchise to be completely gutted of every title it had to its name. Major losses have been covered over by some big wins for the service, and depending on the games you like, it's either the best deal in the industry, or worth ignoring entirely.
The latter team might be feeling vindicated now, though, as a new collection of games is set to leave the service shortly, and some of the titles are going to leave a serious hole in your backlog. Here's what you need to know about the new Xbox Game Pass games leaving.
Xbox Game Pass games leaving in May 2025
The Xbox Game Pass games leaving in May 2025 have been revealed by the 'leaving soon' tab on the Xbox Game Pass library, and sadly, some genuinely great games will be departing the service shortly. Here's what you need to know about the Xbox Game Pass games leaving on Thursday, May 15:
Little Kitty, Big City (console, cloud, PC)
Planet of Lana (console, cloud, PC)
Hauntii (console, cloud, PC)
Dune: Spice Wars (Xbox Series X |S, cloud, PC)
Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons (console, cloud)
The Big Con (console, cloud, PC)
Jurassic World Evolution 2 (console, cloud, PC)
Chants of Sennaar (console, cloud)
It's a shame to be saying farewell to these titles, especially as Little Kitty, Big City served as the perfect cosy tonic to the post-apocalypse that many players didn't expect to find in the gorgeous Stray. Plus, with Dune: Spice Wars, your chances to harvest the most important riches in the galaxy are wearing out before the arrival of Dune: Awakening. Get the games finished off while you still can, or make the most of the 20% discount you'll get on buying the games via the service.
