As part of the May Wave One refresh we see eight games coming to the cloud. But as good things come to the service, we must have games leaving it. This wave we will be saying goodbye to five games. While the removal of these games may be disappointing for some, it is worth noting established trends regarding the platform’s “stream your own games” functionality. Recently, titles that leave the general Game Pass library have often been added to this library, provided the user has purchased them.
