Best to grab it while you can!<\/p>\n<p>It joins Ashen, Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes, and My Little Pony: A Zephyr Heights Mystery which are also set to leave the service across both platforms starting the 15th April. There&#8217;s also Terra Invicta, which is leaving PC Games Pass on the same day.<\/p>\n<p>In their place are of course a new selection of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurogamer.net\/xbox-game-pass-games-list-this-month-price-6400\">April 2026 Game Pass titles<\/a>, which include Clair Obscur Expedition 33 on the 2nd April and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurogamer.net\/games\/final-fantasy-iv\">Final Fantasy IV<\/a> on the 7th April. So if you&#8217;re in the mood for a really good RPG, there&#8217;s a good reason to sub this month.<\/p>\n<p>Grand Theft Auto 5 is obviously the biggest hitter of the games due to leave the service. As of November last year, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurogamer.net\/gta5-more-sales-than-brazil-population-220-million\">the game had sold more copies than the population of Brazil<\/a>.
