Five Games Are Leaving Xbox Game Pass In Late May 2026
Microsoft has announced that five games will be leaving Xbox Game Pass at the end of May 2026. The departures include two major titles: Metaphor: ReFantazio, the critically acclaimed Atlus RPG, and Persona 4 Golden, another significant release from SEGA. All five games will remain available on the service until May 31st, 2026.
To encourage players to keep these titles after departure, Microsoft is offering discounts of at least 20% on all departing games through the Xbox Store, with some potentially receiving larger discounts as part of upcoming Microsoft Store sales throughout the month. This discount strategy allows players to purchase their favorites before they’re removed from the subscription service.
The announcement was made through the official Xbox mobile app, which has flagged these games as “leaving soon.” While the complete list of all five departing titles was not fully detailed in the available information, Metaphor: ReFantazio and Persona 4 Golden represent the most notable losses from the service. The departure of these well-received titles marks a significant rotation within Game Pass’s library. Microsoft has confirmed that additional games will be added to Xbox Game Pass later in May 2026, continuing the service’s regular cycle of rotating titles to maintain a fresh selection for subscribers.
