Xbox Game Pass is absolutely key to Microsoft's strategy this generation, with the company putting all it can into bolstering Xbox Game Pass and its lineup of games. New games are added to Xbox Game Pass all the time, ranging from older titles to brand-new, day one releases. But while Microsoft does all its can to ensure that there is a constant stream of games coming to Xbox Game Pass, there are times when titles are removed from the service as well.
Xbox Game Pass subscribers don't have to worry about most first-party Xbox games ever leaving the lineup, but third-party titles are always at risk of being removed. The good news is that Microsoft usually gives fans about two weeks notice whenever games are going to leave Xbox Game Pass, and with some exceptions, the games are always removed on the same dates. Most of the time, Xbox Game Pass games leave on the 15th and last day of every month.

This holds true for the Xbox Game Pass games leaving today, April 30. In total, four games are leaving the Xbox Game Pass service after today, and so anyone interested in playing them should do so while they still can. They probably won't have enough time to play through the games, but if they like any of them, the titles can be purchased at a 20% discount while they remain on the Game Pass subscription service.
The four games leaving Xbox Game Pass on April 30 are Cricket 19, Outlast 2, Secret Neighbor, and Streets of Rage 4. Cricket 19 is a game based on the titular sport, whereas Outlast 2 is a first-person horror game. Secret Neighbor, meanwhile, is a spin-off of the Hello Neighbor series, while Streets of Rage 4 is the latest entry in the popular beat 'em up franchise.
