Xbox Game Pass subscribers will lose access to eight games on the service before the end of June, including several critically-acclaimed titles. Since the subscription service was first launched, Xbox Game Pass subscribers have gotten accustomed to seeing games removed as new ones are added. There are several new games that will replace the games that are leaving, but subscribers will have to decide for themselves if the trade-offs are worth it.

Xbox Reveals Huge Number of Lost Game Pass Subscriptions Following 2025 Price Hike
Xbox Game Pass apparently has a lot less subscribers than it used to, thanks to a major price increase that happened back in 2025.
Games Leaving Xbox Game Pass on June 30
- Mecha Break (Console, PC, Cloud)
- Payday 2 (Console)
- Rise of the Tomb Raider (Console, PC, Cloud)
- Tomb Raider (Console, PC, Cloud)
- Slay the Spire (Console, PC, Cloud)
- Ultimate Chicken Horse (Console, PC, Cloud)
- Volcano Princess (Console, PC, Cloud)
- Unpacking (Console, PC, Cloud)
Of the games leaving Xbox Game Pass on June 30, the two Lara Croft adventures might be the most disappointing. Tomb Raider and Rise of the Tomb Raider are both set to be removed on the same day, which means that subscribers will no longer have full access to the Survivor trilogy. The Tomb Raider Survivor trilogy has earned a lot of praise over the years, but Xbox Game Pass subscribers will only have access to Shadow of the Tomb Raider once the month of July begins.
