If you’ve been playing Grand Theft Auto V or GTA Online via Game Pass lately, you might need to pony up and buy a copy to sustain your criminal enterprise. Rockstar’s crime saga is expected to leave Xbox Game Pass in about two weeks.

GTA V is no stranger to Game Pass, having come and gone on the service a few times before.

If you have your sights set on exploring the stars, you may want to finally give in and check out Starfield. However, if it’s sci-fi you’re seeking and you’re cool with a slightly more linear experience, one that’s also got a sense of humor, we recommend checking out The Outer Worlds.

Finally, while the scale of their worlds is a bit smaller in scope than GTA, if you want more crime drama, we heartily recommend checking out any of the Yakuza games if you haven’t done so already.

Grand Theft Auto V will undoubtedly be missed as it leaves Game Pass, but there’s more than enough to play in its absence.
