Xbox Game Pass Games Leaving on April 15 Include GTA 5 and Eiyuden Chronicle
Xbox has confirmed the next wave of Game Pass departures for April 15, and the list includes Grand Theft Auto V, Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes, Ashen, and more. Here is the full lineup and what subscribers should prioritize before the removal date.
What happened
Xbox has confirmed the next group of Game Pass departures, and the current deadline to watch is April 15, 2026. This is the kind of update that matters because it gives subscribers a short final window to finish a campaign, test a game they kept postponing, or decide whether it is worth buying before it leaves the library. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
The games leaving Xbox Game Pass on April 15
According to the latest official Xbox Game Pass update, these five titles are leaving on April 15:
- Ashen (Cloud, Console, and PC)
- Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes (Cloud, Console, and PC)
- Grand Theft Auto V (Cloud, Console, and PC)
- My Little Pony: A Zephyr Heights Mystery (Cloud, Console, and PC)
- Terra Invicta (Game Preview) (PC) :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
Why this matters now
The biggest attention-grabber in this group is clearly Grand Theft Auto V, simply because it remains one of the most recognizable names in the catalog. But the more practical loss for some players may be Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes or Ashen, especially for subscribers who prefer longer RPG and action experiences that are easier to leave unfinished for too long. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
What subscribers should do before the deadline
If any of these games were sitting in your backlog, this is the moment to make a decision. The cleanest approach is:
- finish the game you are already deepest into
- test anything you were curious about before it disappears
- use the membership purchase discount only if you know you will keep playing after removal
Xbox also notes that members can save up to 20% if they want to buy a departing title before it leaves the service. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
Best priorities from this wave
For most readers, the practical shortlist is simple:
- Grand Theft Auto V if you want the biggest mainstream pick before it leaves
- Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes if you have been meaning to start or continue it
- Ashen if you want something smaller but still notable before the deadline
That is the strongest way to read this wave: not every departure matters equally, so it makes sense to focus first on the games with the biggest name value or the ones most likely to stay unfinished in your library. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
Final takeaway
The next Xbox Game Pass removal date to watch is April 15, and the outgoing lineup includes GTA 5, Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes, Ashen, My Little Pony: A Zephyr Heights Mystery, and Terra Invicta. If one of these has been on your list, this is your last useful reminder before the current window closes. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}
