The following eight games will be removed from this catalog:

Microsoft is set to unveil Wave 2 of the May 2025 Game Pass lineup shortly after these games are removed from the service.
Earlier this month, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members received an exciting new perk: the ability to stream select games directly to their consoles without the need for downloading. This feature was detailed in an Xbox Wire post, which highlighted that Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members can now stream games from the Game Pass catalog, as well as "select games they own," on their Xbox Series X, Series S, and Xbox One consoles via cloud streaming. Previously, this functionality was available on smart TVs, PCs, smartphones, and Meta Quest headsets, marking a significant expansion to include consoles.
In other news, the announcement that Grand Theft Auto 6 has been delayed to May 2026 might have fans eager to revisit GTA 5. Fortunately, GTA 5 Enhanced is now accessible on Xbox Game Pass and Game Pass for PC, marking the first time the enhanced version has been available on PC Game Pass.
