Xbox Game Pass may be getting a lot of additional games this month, but quite a few free ones are leaving in March as well. In fact, Game Pass subscribers are going to lose a total of six games in less than 24 hours. This is your last chance to try these out before they leave the service, and there's no word on when — or if — these titles will return to Game Pass.

The news was confirmed over on the official Xbox website. Alongside the reveals of games leaving, Xbox also unveiled some major titles like Cyberpunk 2077 and Hollow Knight: Silksong are coming to new tiers (and both are available now). And while we're still waiting for one final game to release as part of Game Pass' Wave 1 catalog for March, half a dozen are leaving before it drops.

6 Games Are Leaving Game Pass On March 15

The following games are all leaving the Xbox Game Pass library on March 15, 2026:

  • Bratz Rhythm & Style (Cloud, Console, and PC)
  • Enter the Gungeon (Cloud, Console, and PC)
  • F1 23 (Cloud, Console, and PC)
  • He is Coming (PC)
  • Lightyear Frontier (Cloud, Console, and PC)
  • Mythwrecked: Ambrosia Island (Cloud, Console, and PC)

As you can see, there's quite a variety here, both in terms of age range and genres. Whether you're looking for racing, platformers, RPGs, or horror, there's something here for you. Sadly, 24 hours won't be enough time to beat most of the games listed here, but these titles are on discounts of up to 20% right now.

So, if you try one of these games out for free with Game Pass and like it, you can grab it at a discount and own it forever. The caveat here is that the sale also ends on March 15, so you don't have long to decide.

More New Games Are On The Way This Month

The good news, of course, is that more games will be arriving on Game Pass soon. Of the Wave 1 titles, there's only one that hasn't released at the time of this writing: DreamWorks Gabby’s Dollhouse: Ready to Party, a musical adventure game based on the popular TV show. It'll be arriving for Cloud, Xbox Series X|S, and PC on March 17, and it will be available on Game Pass Ultimate, Game Pass Premium, and PC Game Pass.

There's also Wave 2 to remember, which should get an official announcement around the midpoint of the month. Even more games will be arriving on Xbox Game Pass then. Just remember that if you want to try any of these games that are leaving in March, you'll need to get on that right away.
