Xbox Game Pass will lose at least eight games in early March


Can you feel it? Spring is in the air. The mornings are brighter, birds are singing and flowers are starting to break free from their wintery soil confines. And, to kick off the upcoming season, Xbox has more Game Pass news to share.

While we still don’t have the first full batch of March monthly newcomers (although we can expect that very soon, so stay tuned), the Xbox team has revealed eight games leaving its Game Pass subscription service within the next two weeks, including Lies of P and Yakuza 5 Remastered.


South of Midnight will be joining Game Pass on its release, here’s five things we liked about it, and two things we didn’t. Watch on YouTube

Come 15th March, the following titles will be removed from Xbox Game Pass on consoles:

  • Lies of P
  • Yakuza 5 Remastered
  • Yakuza 6: The Song of Life
  • No More Heroes 3
  • SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom – Rehydrated
  • MLB The Show 24
  • Evil West
  • Solar Ash

On the PC side of things, the following games will be removed from the service in the next two weeks:

  • Evil West
  • Lies of P
  • Yakuza 5 Remastered
  • No More Heroes 3
  • Yakuza 6: The Song of Life
  • SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom – Rehydrated
  • Solar Ash

If you want to keep playing these games after they leave Game Pass, you’ll need to purchase them. On the plus side, Game Pass subscribers get a 20 percent discount.

Towards the end of last month, a little game you may have heard of – Balatro – became available via Xbox Game Pass. We here at Eurogamer are rather fond of Balatro, naming it one of our favourite games of 2024. “It’s a work of marvellous depth and winning simplicity, and rightly one of the best and most memorable games you’ll play this year,” our Katharine wrote in Eurogamer’s round up of the 50 best games of 2024.
