Games with Gold

Game with Gold service is like a boon to the players! Microsoft gives various free games with “Games With Gold” service every month. These games are available for the whole month or 15 days. You can “redeem” these games through the website or Xbox console. Download, and play!

If you don’t redeem the game during its free time period, you don’t get it for free. This means you won’t get any of the previous “Games With Gold” for free when you subscribe. It also means that, if you don’t stay on top of the free game offers, you’ll miss some games and won’t get them for free. However, people who have been members for a long time may have libraries full of hundreds of games they got for free if they’re diligent.

On an Xbox One, once you’ve redeemed a free game, you can download and play it whenever you like, forever—as long as you have an active subscription. If your subscription lapses, you won’t be able to play the game anymore. If you restart your subscription, you’ll regain access to all the games you previously redeemed.

On an Xbox 360, once you’re redeemed a free game, it’s yours to play forever—even if your subscription lapses.

Games With Gold includes both Xbox One and Xbox 360 games. However, Microsoft has promised that all Xbox 360 games released through Games With Gold will be playable on the Xbox One via backward compatibility. In other words, all Games With Gold games will work on an Xbox One.

You can view the current games available through Games With Gold on Microsoft’s website, and a list of games Microsoft has previously given away on Wikipedia. As of August 2017, you’ll see quite a few indie games for Xbox One and older big-budget (at the time) games for Xbox 360. Microsoft also has given away some of the early big Xbox One games, including Watch Dogs and Ryse: Son of Rome. But don’t expect to see the latest blockbuster games on their release date—expect smaller indie games and older big-budget games.

Final Verdict

Hey players, Microsoft really has given you a good option to play more, fun more! Xbox Live Gold is really a fantastic pick to go with.
