Xbox Game Pass May 2026 additions and removals

More to play.

The first batch of Xbox Game Pass May 2026 additions and removals has been detailed by Microsoft and its partners, and we’ve gathered them here for you below.

And just so you know what’s up, here’s a post about how Xbox Game Pass has changed of late.

Last month: April 2026  <  This  month: May 2026  >  Next month: June 2026

Game Pass is a multi-tiered system; Xbox Game Pass Essentials offers the least, Xbox Game Pass Premium has more, but less than the behemoth that is Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.

Those subscribed to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate have access to Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass alongside access to the EA Play Vault and Ubisoft+ Classics as well. Finally, all tiers have access Xbox Cloud Streaming on supported devices.

Below, you’ll find the titles you can soon expect (or in some cases, lose) on Xbox Game Pass, PC Game Pass and Xbox Cloud Streaming.

We’ll be adding to the lists below as more games are revealed.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
