Five games are set to leave Xbox Game Pass on June 15. There are almost always more games added to Xbox Game Pass than there are games removed, but it's still sad whenever titles are given the boot. Typically, games are removed from Xbox Game Pass on the 15th of every month, with another batch given the axe on the last day of the month.
As expected, when Microsoft announced the Wave 1 Xbox Game Pass games for June 2024, it also included a list of games that would be removed as part of the first-half of June 2024 updates. Now June 15 has rolled around, Xbox Game Pass subscribers are officially running out of time to try these games before they leave the service.
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate Confirms Day One Game for September 24
Those signed up for the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate tier have a new day one release to look forward to come September 24.
Today, Xbox Game Pass subscribers will lose access toBramble: The Mountain King, High on Life, Rune Factory 4 Special, Spacelines From the Far Out, and The Bookwalker: Thief of Tales. All five of these games were playable across Xbox consoles, the Cloud, and PC. They're still on Game Pass at the time of this writing, so those interested can still try them before potentially buying them to keep. As a reminder, all games on Game Pass are available at a 20% discount while they are still on the service.
Xbox Game Pass Games Leaving June 15
- Bramble: The Mountain King
- High on Life
- Rune Factory 4 Special
- Spacelines From the Far Out
- The Bookwalker: Thief of Tales
Out of all the games leaving Xbox Game Pass in June 2024, there are a few that subscribers may want to prioritize. Bramble: The Mountain King is an atmospheric action-adventure game with horror and puzzle-platformer elements sprinkled in. High on Life, meanwhile, is a raunchy first-person shooter with a bizarre sense of humor that should greatly appeal to fans of shows like Rick and Morty and Solar Opposites. Spacelines From the Far Out, meanwhile, is a co-op roguelike game where players run a spaceship "airline," dealing with the requests of passengers as they travel from one location to the next.
Unfortunately, another batch of games will be leaving the Xbox Game Pass service at the end of the month. Microsoft has yet to reveal the exact games leaving at the end of June 2024, but official word should come around Tuesday, June 18. That's the day that day one game Still Wakes the Deep is being added to Xbox Game Pass, which is the last game that was part of the June 2024 Wave 1 announcement. It's likely that other new Game Pass games for June 2024 will be announced as well, so it shouldn't be all bad news come June 18.
