Planet of Lana is worth playing before it leaves Xbox Game Pass
Planet of Lana is set to leave Xbox Game Pass in May, following Xbox’s announcement of new additions to the subscription service for the month, including titles such as Subnautica 2 and Mixtape.
In Planet of Lana, players control a young girl named Lana who encounters a mysterious cat-like creature called Mui. The two form an immediate bond, and their companionship drives both the narrative and gameplay. The story begins when Lana discovers that her friends, neighbors, and entire community have been mysteriously captured.
Described as one of the best indie games in recent years, Planet of Lana has earned critical acclaim since its release. As the game prepares to leave the subscription service, Xbox is encouraging current subscribers to experience it before it becomes unavailable on Game Pass.
The departure of Planet of Lana highlights the rotating nature of games on subscription services. Titles frequently come and go due to licensing agreements and business decisions, making it difficult for players to maintain permanent access to their digital libraries. For subscribers who haven’t yet played the indie title, the announcement provides a final window to experience the game as part of their subscription before it must be purchased separately.
