Games Leaving Game Pass: March 15, 2026
Six games are leaving Xbox Game Pass on March 15, 2026, and the headliner is a big one. Enter the Gungeon, one of the highest-rated roguelikes ever made, is leading this wave of departures. You've got 4 days to play what you can and decide what's worth buying. Here's what you need to know.
What's Leaving March 15, 2026
| Game | Metacritic | Time to Beat | Platforms |
|---|---|---|---|

Don't Miss: Priority Picks
1. Enter the Gungeon
This is the departure that hurts. Enter the Gungeon is widely considered one of the best roguelikes ever made, blending tight twin-stick shooting with a ridiculous arsenal of guns (a gun that shoots guns, anyone?). The Metacritic scores of 84-85 back up the community hype, and the replayability here is through the roof.
Time commitment: ~23 hours for the main story. That's a tall order with 4 days left, but even a few runs will show you why people love this game. If you get hooked, the 20% discount is there for a reason.
Play if you like: The Binding of Isaac, Hades, Dead Cells
2. F1 23
Strong reviews across the board (81-85 on Metacritic, 91% of critics recommend on OpenCritic) and a solid story mode in Braking Point 2. Here's the thing though: EA Sports F1 25 joined Game Pass on March 4, making this a clean swap. If you just want F1 racing, the newer game is already waiting for you. But if you want to experience the Braking Point 2 storyline specifically, you've got ~9 hours to knock it out.
Time commitment: ~9 hours for the Braking Point story mode. Doable in a weekend if you focus.
3. Lightyear Frontier
Farming games are everywhere, but farming on an alien planet in a mech? That's different. Lightyear Frontier earned a 78 on OpenCritic and supports 1-4 player online co-op, making it a solid pick if you've got friends to rope in. It's been a fan favorite in the Game Pass community, so don't sleep on this one before it goes.
Time commitment: ~12 hours for the main story. Tight but possible if you start now.
Play if you like: Stardew Valley, Astroneer, Slime Rancher
Quick Takes on the Rest
-
Mythwrecked: Ambrosia Island (63 Metacritic, ~7 hours) - A cozy adventure where you're shipwrecked with amnesia-stricken Greek gods. Mixed critical reception, but the cozy gaming crowd enjoyed it. At ~7 hours, it's completable before the deadline if this is your kind of game.
-
He Is Coming (87% Steam Positive, PC only) - A minimalist roguelike auto-battler that's been called "The Pringles of Roguelikes." Runs take minutes, not hours, so you can get a solid feel for it in a single session. PC only.
-
Bratz: Rhythm & Style (N/A, ~5 hours) - Rhythm game with Bratz fashion elements. Only joined Game Pass in December 2025, making it a notably short ~3-month stay. Quick completion time if you're into it.
FAQ: Games Leaving Game Pass
Can I still play these games after March 15?
No. Once they leave Game Pass, you lose access unless you purchase them. The standard 20% Game Pass member discount applies to all departing titles before removal.
Will these games come back to Game Pass?
Possibly. Games do rotate back into the service, but there's no guarantee or timeline. Microsoft doesn't announce returns in advance.
What if I'm mid-playthrough?
Your save data stays intact. If you purchase the game later or it returns to Game Pass, you can pick up right where you left off.
What's Coming to Replace Them
March 2026 is stacked with additions. Here's what's already arrived or coming soon:
- Kingdom Come: Deliverance II - March 3 (Cloud, Console, PC)
- Final Fantasy III - March 3 (Cloud, Console, PC)
- EA Sports F1 25 - March 4 (Cloud, Console, PC)
- To a T - March 4 (Cloud, Console, PC)
- Planet of Lana II: Children of the Leaf - March 5 (Cloud, Console, PC, Handheld)
- Cyberpunk 2077 - March 10 (Cloud, Console)
- Hollow Knight: Silksong - March 12 (Cloud, Console, PC)
- DreamWorks Gabby's Dollhouse: Ready to Party - March 17
- Construction Simulator - March (Cloud, Console, PC)
The arrivals far outweigh the departures this wave. Cyberpunk 2077 and Hollow Knight: Silksong alone make March one of the strongest Game Pass months in a while.
