What games could leave Xbox Game Pass in May 2023?

Because Danganronpa 2 is almost guaranteed to go in May, make sure you start Danganronpa V3 sometime in the near future - I think that one's got an even longer estimated completion time so it'd be good to deal with it soon

Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising was a pretty fun game. Story drags on a lot longer than it needed too though

Was there not a deal made for Descenders? I feel like this site made a post saying that the game had a contract for a good few years iirc.

xShoot4WarAmpsx said:I agree it was good and had stellar accessibility options, but the game is mostly fetch quests, so be aware you’ll often be revisiting locations you’ve previously been to. It was trying to be anything more than what it was, though, and it did a very good job at meeting its goals.

I cannot believe it’s been a year since Hard Space: Shipbreaker joined, yikes!

And I’ve been putting off Citizen Sleeper until I could really engage with it, the time might be now.

Items on the Xbox web store have an end date attached to their prices, indicating something is going to happen. Could be a sale, a delisting or leaving Game Pass. Right now, the following games have a date indicating they could leave Game Pass in the next couple months. Times are UTC.

The games leaving at the end of this month had their dates set for a while. Interestingly, a few other games also have an end date at the time same (7 Days to Die, Citizen Sleeper and Cricket 22), but for the last few cycles that I've been checking, more games have been listed than ended up leaving, but the games that left had their dates set.

Another note, each price has only 1 date, and a current or upcoming sale can mask another date. So while the May 16 list only has 4 items, the large Spring Sale is still going and something there could also be in the end list. Won't know until the sale ends early Friday morning and the end dates adjust.

Hopefully MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries won't leave Game Pass, since it's a Microsoft's IP in terms of video games.

I've only started Vampire Survivors yesterday via cloud gaming.

i read the review for kill it with fire, seems like a goofy yet fun game. might give that a try

I hope Jurassic World Evolution 2 doesn't come off of GP

Wow, May 22 was on heck of a month. If all of those drop out then some real gems are departing. Certainly recommend Citizen Sleeper to anyone, that was a really fun and interesting experience, simple enough as well.

I’ve been planning to get into Jurassic World Evolution 2 for a bit now, but I might wait to see if it leaves next month first. If not then I probably have a few months to work on it. If it does leave I can grab it on a good sale eventually.

danganronpa 2 didn't take me that long to complete, like 80 hours. but danganronpa 3 is a huge grind. if you want all the achievements in 3 you should start now

PirateRyanG said:ms does own mechwarrior ip, https://trademarks.justia.com/756/77/mechwarrior-75677827. Minecraft is on Playstation so ms doesn't own the ip (even if ms owns mojang) following the logic.

Damn, I want to play a lot of these but Persona 5 is eating up all my gaming time. Seriously, i'm 80 hour into it and according to the guide i'm following, i'm only about half way done. I love the game but this time requirement is getting kind of ridiculous.

Doubt Farming Simulator 22 leaves, as there is no Farming Simulator sequel. It usually only leaves when it is going to be replaced by it's sequel.

So glad there was a guide for this one, as the Achievement Descriptions were atrocious. Most gave you no clue on what you had to do to unlock.

I might put Loot River higher on my priority list just in case.

I still need to finish Vampire Survivors DLC, but if I miss it before it leaves GP, I would be more than happy to support the devs by purchasing it.

XBOX players deserve to feel special again for being XBOX players: No Final Fantasy VII, No Final Fantasy XVI, no Final Fantasy Pixel, no Atelier Ryza, no Silent Hill, no Nioh, no Shenmue 3, no Rise of Ronin, no Death Stranding; we don't even have Knights of the Old Republic, a game that started on XBOX!
