Xbox Game Pass Is Losing More Games Than It Added in March 2025
Assuming no more surprises are in the works, this addition rounds out the March 2025 Xbox Game Pass lineup, which ended up featuring nine new titles. However, the service is still on course to lose more games than it received over the course of this month, having already removed eight titles on March 15, with another ten being set to depart on the 31st. March 2025 is hence poised to become the second consecutive month to see a net loss in the overall size of the Xbox Game Pass content catalog.
