Xbox Game Pass Purge: Eight Games Leaving in May 2025 – Don’t Miss Out!
The clock is ticking for Xbox Game Pass subscribers! Microsoft has confirmed that eight titles are set to depart the service in May 2025, and the list includes some hidden gems that are well worth a final playthrough. Prepare for your farewell tour, as these games will be removed from the Game Pass library on May 15.
Among the departing titles, we find a diverse range of experiences, from critically acclaimed indie adventures to strategic simulations. Here’s the full lineup of games leaving Xbox Game Pass next month:
- 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
Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, directed by Josef Fares of Hazelight Studios (the creators of *It Takes Two*), is a standout departure. Its cooperative gameplay and heartwarming story have earned it widespread praise. Chants of Sennaar, a well-regarded adventure game featured at the Tribeca Festival, is another notable loss.
For strategy enthusiasts, Dune: Spice Wars offers a gripping 4X experience set on the harsh planet of Arrakis. Meanwhile, Jurassic World Evolution 2 allows players to build and manage their own dinosaur theme park, appealing to simulation fans.
According to TrueAchievements, some of these games offer quick Gamerscore boosts. Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons's achievement list can be completed in under three hours, while Little Kitty, Big City can be finished in around six. For completionists with a bit more time, The Big Con and Planet of Lana each take around eight hours.
If you're aiming for a completionist run, be sure to dedicate some serious time to Hauntii or Dune: Spice Wars, which can take between 15-25 hours each. Finally, Jurassic World Evolution 2, with all its DLC packs, can demand up to 90 hours of your time!
As these games prepare to leave, remember that Game Pass subscribers can purchase them at a 20% discount. This provides an excellent opportunity to keep your favorites even after they depart the service.
While the departures are noteworthy, Xbox Game Pass continues to evolve. Recent additions like Dredge, Anno 1800, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II ensure that there are always fresh experiences to discover. Keep an eye out for future announcements regarding new additions to the service!
