Some top-tier games are bidding farewell to Xbox Game Pass come March 31, which includes heavy hitters like MLB The Show 24, a variety of Yakuza titles, and Monster Hunter Rise, among others. The loss of these titles is a significant blow to the Game Pass lineup, as they have been key attractions for the service.
In total, ten games are slated to leave Xbox Game Pass by March 31, which is in line with the service’s typical routine. Subscribers have become accustomed to the ebb and flow of titles, where games are added periodically throughout the month but generally removed on two fixed dates: the 15th and the last day of the month.
So, if you’ve got some games to tick off your list, now’s your window of opportunity. Keep in mind that you can snag any of these exiting titles at a 20% discount while they’re still part of the Game Pass.
Here is a quick rundown of what’s leaving: You’ll be saying goodbye to MLB The Show 24, Lil Gator Game, Hot Wheels Unleashed 2, Open Roads, Yakuza 0, Yakuza Kiwami, Yakuza Kiwami 2, Yakuza: Like a Dragon, The Lamplighter’s League, and Monster Hunter Rise. Each of these games has made a name for itself, and their removal leaves a noticeable gap in the Game Pass catalog.
For baseball enthusiasts, the departure of MLB The Show 24 stings, especially since MLB The Show 25 has not made its way to Game Pass. This means you’ll need to purchase it separately if you want to keep swinging for the fences.
The loss of the Yakuza games is another hard hit. With titles like Yakuza 0 and the critically acclaimed Yakuza: Like a Dragon no longer available, fans will definitely feel the void. These games have helped elevate the franchise to new heights, and their absence might mean fewer new players discovering this immersive universe.
Monster Hunter Rise’s exit is unfortunate, too, as the series has been enjoying renewed popularity thanks to Monster Hunter Wilds. And although it’s a shorter adventure, don’t overlook Lil Gator Game—it’s a charming little title that’s still within reach to complete in time.
Overall, this lineup change in Xbox Game Pass reflects not just a reduction in quantity but a notable dip in quality and variety, leaving fans eager to see what might fill the void in the months to come.
