On April 30, Xbox Game Pass subscribers will have to say goodbye to six games. If you don't want to miss out on one of the games, you can still get it at a significantly lower price at the moment thanks to Microsoft's member discount.

A total of 14 new games will be added to Xbox Game Pass this month. By mid-month, eight games had been added, with "Shadow of the Tomb Raider" likely being the highlight for many. In the second half of the month, six more games are still expected, some of which are pending. Notably, the medieval strategy game "Manor Lords" will be included in the Game Pass on its release date, April 26.

However, as with every month, subscribers will have to say goodbye to some games. Six games will be removed from the Xbox Game Pass on April 30. It's particularly disappointing for zombie fans that "7 Days to Die" will be removed. "Besiege Console," a game where players construct machines of destruction, will also be missed by many. If you want to continue playing any of these games, you can still take advantage of Microsoft's member discount of 20 percent before they are removed.
