Four Xbox Games Are Currently Set To Be Delisted In May & June 2026

Here's what's been announced so far.As the new month begins, it's time once again to look at the delistings for both May and June 2026, and there's actually quite a lot going on even beyond the four games, so bear with us — this might get a little confusing.We'll break it all down for you in a minute, but let's focus on the main delisting first in the form of Battlefield Hardline. EA's 2015 shooter is officially being delisted on May 22nd, but the good news is that it's really cheap on the Xbox Store until the middle of May, so you may as well add it to your Xbox library if you have any interest. Just keep in mind that the servers for the game are being turned off in June, so you're only really buying it for the campaign.Read the full article on purexbox.com

"There is a community driven site where you can make your requests known".When it was announced back in March that Xbox's backwards compatibility program was getting revived for the brand's 25th anniversary, there were a lot of questions as to whether that meant brand-new backwards compatibility additions from the OG Xbox and Xbox 360 era, or perhaps something else like the BC program making its debut on PC.We still don't have the specifics on what's happening later this year, but interestingly, Xbox exec Jason Ronald has invited fans to share their requests for new backwards compatibility titles via the Xbox Game Preservation website, which is a non-official Xbox fansite that started gaining traction a few months ago.Read the full article on purexbox.com
