The much-adored Xbox Game Pass is poised to welcome several new titles, including the highly anticipated FIFA 23 and Railway Empire 2. The popular multiplayer pirate game Sea of Thieves and the classic strategy game Age of Empires II will also join the roster.
While these additions are undoubtedly exciting for subscribers, it’s important to note that some existing titles will simultaneously be phased out. By the end of the current month, players will lose access to five games.
Games Leaving the Xbox Game Pass by May 31
The following games are set to leave the Xbox Game Pass service by May 31:
- Europa Universalis (PC)
- Evil Genius 2: World Domination (Cloud, Console, PC)
- FIFA 21 (Console, PC – EA Play)
- Floppy Knights (Cloud, Console, PC)
- Lawn Mowing Simulator (Cloud, Console, PC)
Out of these, FIFA 21 is undoubtedly the most recognized title. However, its departure won’t significantly impact players as the latest installment of the beloved football franchise, FIFA 23, will be joining the Game Pass roster. Given FIFA 23’s extremely positive reception, it’s unlikely that many will lament the departure of its predecessor.
Departing Titles Worth Checking Out
While FIFA 21’s departure might not cause much stir, players might miss Evil Genius 2 and the unexpectedly soothing Lawn Mowing Simulator. Particularly, the Lawn Mowing Simulator has received positive reviews on Steam.
Considering its imminent removal from the Game Pass, it might be worth dedicating some time over the next few days to explore this unique simulator experience while it’s still part of the subscription.
The upcoming changes are a reminder of the ever-evolving nature of the Xbox Game Pass library. While the service loses some games, it continues to add new ones, maintaining its appeal and value for subscribers.
