Xbox Game Pass March 2026 Lineup Ends Today with 2 ‘Very Positive’ Games Leaving

Two games, including the multiplayer action game Mad Streets, are leaving Xbox Game Pass today. These departures finish up the changes to the game library for March 2026, meaning a total of eight games will have left Xbox Game Pass this month. Both departing titles have received “Very Positive” reviews from players.

Xbox Game Pass has seen several games removed from its library this year. Twelve games were taken off in January, followed by five more in February. Most recently, on March 15th, six titles—including He is Coming, Lightyear Frontier, and Mythwrecked: Ambrosia Island—were removed. This pattern of games leaving the service roughly every two weeks will continue today with two more removals.

Losing Mad Streets is a bigger loss for variety in the Xbox Game Pass library than many realize. While Game Pass has over 540 games, very few offer cooperative play. Mad Streets is one of the rare co-op titles, and it’s especially unique because up to four players can play together. Since being added to Game Pass in October 2024, it’s made a real impact on the available games.

Xbox Game Pass handles game removals more easily than other services. Losing a simple game like Peppa Pig: World Adventures isn’t a big deal because there are plenty of other options available. However, some younger players and their parents might be upset that Peppa Pig is leaving so soon. It was added in late September 2025 and is now being removed after just over six months, which is shorter than how long most games stay on the service.
