As always, a new bunch of games coming to the service means some older titles expire and are leaving. If you want to keep playing these games after they exit Xbox Game Pass, make sure to buy them at a discount while they’re still in the service.

Windows Central’s take

I’m looking forward to playing some Exoprimal. It looks like the right amount of dumb, and we just don’t get enough dinosaur games of any type. Between this and the announcement of Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess, it’s interesting to see Capcom put a couple of completely new IP on Xbox Game Pass.

Still, I know the headline here for most people is the return of the unstoppable Grand Theft Auto 5 into the service.
