Xbox Game Passis often considered the gift that keeps on giving, but anything that gives can also take away. While Xbox Game Pass titles added to the service often outpace those that are removed, it is an inevitable fact thatXbox Game Passremoves a handful of games every month.
For example, on May 10,Xbox Game Pass removedGrand Theft Auto: San Andreas – The Definitive Edition. It’s no secret that the Definitive Edition remasters of classicGTAgames botched the landing, but if anyone was hoping the game would get fixed and were waiting a while to check it out for free on Xbox Game Pass, that timer has expired.

Xbox Game Pass Says Goodbye to Six Games on May 15
At a quick glimpse, here is the list of Xbox Game Pass games leaving on May 15.
Enter The Gungeon– Bullet Hell Dungeon Crawler where players seek a gun that can kill the past, which is hailed as the ultimate treasure. Players choose a hero, battle to the bottom, survive challenge after challenge, and dig through floor after floor in search of loots, secrets, and more. Overall,Enter the Gungeonis a beloved game with solid reviews, but players may not be able to beat it. It takes on average about 20 hours to beat, but players could make some leeway before it is taken off.
Final Fantasy 10/10-2 HD Remaster– Two for the price of one,Final Fantasy 10is one of the most iconic games in the franchise.The story of Tidus and Yunacovers two very potent and emotional games, with both of them having great reviews. Unfortunately, it’s not worth picking up and trying to beat before it leaves Game Pass. Even in the most bare bones playthrough, players are still looking at 30-40 hours on just the first game.
Remnant: From The Ashes– Soulslikes are all the rage, but those that innovate on the genre make bigger waves than others.Remnant: From The Ashesputs its own spin on things and has been called, affectionately,Dark Soulswith guns. Luckily, despite the associated difficulty,Remnant: From The Ashescould be beaten by most players before it leaves, though obviously it depends on how much time they have. It lasts for about 12-13 hours, so two 6-hours sessions are all it would take. Not the simplest thing, but not impossible either.

Steep– Thissports simulationgame doesn’t have the best critic scores, but its user scores across several platforms still sing its praises. It’s an open-world sports simulation game, where players can use skis, wingsuits, snowboards, and paragliders to perform stunts and more. Steep has about 10 hours worth of content that can be easily digested; meanwhile, if time is running out, it’s worth taking out for a spin for just a couple of hours.
The Catch: Carpe and Coarse– As afishing game,The Catchmay have the least appeal on this list, but not to those who love fishing. It’s a decent fishing simulator, complete with licensed in-game items, many subspecies, and legendary/monster boss fish to catch. It’s unlikely anyone could catch ‘em all before it departed Xbox Game Pass, but they could just sit back and enjoy it for a couple of days—to simulate the real experience.
The Wild at Heart– Telling an emotional story, this indie game has fantastic reviews and interesting gameplay. Players step in the shoes of two young runaways, rebuild broken paths, solve puzzles, and battle beasts. In fact,The Wild at Heartplayer is joined by little Spritelings—little creatures that players can command.The Wild at Heartcan be beaten in 10-12 hours, so indie lovers should definitely check it out while it’s free. Otherwise, it’s not a bad investment either.
