Edit: Also good news

This July represents two full years since we began giving Gold members access to amazing games, completely free. As a special thank you to our Xbox fans, we’re announcing that starting in July, Games with Gold will offer two new games on Xbox One every month.

Gears 3, the GOAT

Not bad, I need to start adding the XB360 games to my download list now that BC is coming... I never did because I didn't touch my 360 anymore, regret that!

Same thing. I missed a bunch.

 

[Carl]

Awesome to see Black Flag on there. Best AC game. Well, that pirating at least.

 

[kevin1025]

Awesome to see Black Flag, but also weird since we got it on 360 in April...

Two new games every month on Xbox One?! What about Pool Nation, though....

 

[Jinaar]

I held off buying ACIVBF, glad that showed up and GoW3 for free and hopefully BC later. So great!

 

[zorbsie]

No Pool Nation this month? This is straight up bullshit!

 

[intheinbetween]

first XB1 retail release to hit GwG, not bad

 

[Steverulez]

first XB1 retail release to hit GwG, not bad

Rayman Legends

 

[backflip10019]

first XB1 retail release to hit GwG, not bad

Rayman Legends.

Rayman Legends

STEVE.

 

[Somnia]

Nope, we got Rayman Legends too

 

[Hoje0308]

Better hurry up and pick up Pool Nation if you haven't already.

Edit: Appropriately enough, my post was a bit of a repeat.

I wonder if Gears 3 is in the BC preview program list. If so I'm jumping on Gears 3 as soon as I can. After playing the Gears UE beta, it makes me miss Gears 3.

 

[kyo27]

I can dl 360 games from xbox.com right? I don't have a 360 anymore, but I want to play them if they get added to the BC catalog.

 

[intheinbetween]

Rayman Legends

welp, I forgot about it, I guess it's been a long time since then heh

btw, so now we'll get two new XB1 titles every month? cool

 

[MrFortyFive]

Been wanting to revisit Gears 3 at some point. Hopefully this will make its way to Xbox One BC soon enough. I still have the disc and a 360, but it'd be nice to have an easily accessible digital copy.

Gears 3 isn't on the list of BC games though. It's one of the top voted for ones that people want.

Gears 2 is BC ready, but not gears 3.

 

[Castef]

Now, this is a good month.

 

[SmartWaffles]

I have GeoW3 on disc but I'll take it.

 

[Yager]

Nice month, and nice to see that from now on they'll give two new games per month.

Ok? My point was I just need to start adding them to my download list so when they are BC ready.

 

[dork]

Giving this a try. Nice month!

 

[matthieuC]

Black Flag!

Gears 3 is one of the rumoured titles to get the BC treatment, so this pretty much confirms the rumoured list..

 

[Dlink16]

Time to dust off the old 360

 

[purg3]

Cool to see ACIV on there, never finished it but enjoyed what I played.

 

[Akai__]

So many Ubisoft titles in GWG. Not that I complain, but it's something I noticed.

 

[Visualante2]

Ubisoft Access Cellar will be announced some time this year $4.99 a month for all the tower climbing you can handle.

Gears 3, the GOAT

Gears 3 ain't even the best Gears

 

[malfcn]

Hope is will be two *new* games every month and not a carryover like so far.

Black flag was good, and so was Gears.
Flip the backwards switch for Gears please.

 

[RoKKeR]

Good month.

Backwards compatibility makes GWG so much more valuable.

 

[painey]

wow, Black Flag is the first 'big' free game. I already beat it on 360.. might be worth a double dip even though I have Unity half finished

 

[Lord Kefka]

If Microsoft starts launching GWG with games added to BC every month this could be a sweet deal.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

MS specifically says 2 "new" games in the announcement.

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

Weird that the indie game So Many Me isn't launching until mid way through the month(?). Since it is carrying over I really hope they don't count that as one of Augusts "new games". I don't think they will based on them saying two new games a month but who knows lol.

 

[timlot]

I regret not adding 360 games myself. Awesome month for GwG. I've only paid full price for two games this generation. HaloMCC and ForzaH2. Yet with EA Access and deals with Gold and GwG I've got over 40 games. Crazy times.

Maybe they are offering smaller windows for publishers?

 

[GavinGT]

So....mo...ny...me?

EDIT: Oh. I'm glad someone wrote that out for me.

 

[Friend of Sonic]

Quite happy with Gears 3, never finished the campaign on that. Now I'll have 1, 3 and Judgement digitally. Kind of wonder if there are any cheap tokens for Gears 2 on eBay.

 

[etta]

This is fantastic, really glad they changed to the two tiered model, hopefully means that they can give out better games since each is available to download for 15 days now. Excited about Black Flag, only got to about 30% on PC. Is it still 720p on this or did they patch it like PS4?

 

[BibiMaghoo]

Good selection of retail and smaller titles. Keep it up MS.

 

[In Service]

Some awesome games there.

But.... Dead Rising, this was YOUR time.

 

[Original Famous Ray]

Good month. Not for me personally since I own Black Flag and Gears 3 but its a good lineup for sure.

Never heard of "So Many Me". I'll give it a try.

 

[Broken Joystick]

As a recent Xbone buyer, Sweet!

 

[bananafactory]

Black Flag is amazing. I already played it but those that haven't should give it a shot, even if you don't play AC games

 

[NYCmetsfan]

Eh. I got black flag with my xbox. Pumped for Gears with back compat. though.

 

[RedAssedApe]

Probably a bummer for those we bought the unity bundle. Bc gonna give gwg nice value tho

 

[paolo11]

Sorry to ask but for Black Flag, if I download it now then after few months, my GOLD sub expires, do I still keep the game?

 

[oneida]

welp, I forgot about it, I guess it's been a long time since then heh

btw, so now we'll get two new XB1 titles every month? cool
