However, with new titles coming in, some games will be leaving the Xbox Game Pass catalog. On May 15, 2025, players will say goodbye to:

Phil Spencer, head of Xbox, has noted that the Xbox Game Pass model may not be suitable for everyone. In an interview with Variety, he stated, "If you play one or two games a year, the Game Pass probably isn’t the right business model for you. You should just buy those two games, and that would make perfect sense." This perspective highlights the service's appeal primarily to avid gamers who frequently explore new titles.
As the Xbox Game Pass continues to expand, it remains a crucial player in the gaming subscription landscape. With its diverse offerings, it caters to a broad audience, ensuring that there’s something for everyone.
In addition to the new titles, the Xbox Game Pass has recently welcomed several high-profile games, including Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered. This trend of adding significant titles underscores Microsoft’s commitment to enhancing its gaming library.
May 2025 is shaping up to be an exciting month for Xbox Game Pass subscribers, with a slew of new games that promise to deliver thrilling experiences. As gamers gear up to explore these titles, it’s clear that the service is dedicated to providing an evolving and engaging gaming experience.
