The Xbox Games with Gold for May have now been revealed
As we near the end of an incredibly busy April, Xbox has revealed the upcoming Xbox Games with Gold for May. If you didn’t already know, Xbox Games with Gold is a service included in Xbox Live Gold, and includes a revolving roster of four free games for subscribers to redeem from month to month for free. While it’s great to constantly get access to new titles for as long as you have Xbox Live Gold, the quality of the free games has fallen in recent months. Your excitement for May’s Xbox Games with Gold will likely depend on your love for older titles.
Xbox Live Gold is still necessary if you play a lot of premium online multiplayer games, but Xbox Live Gold has been changing. Recently, Xbox dropped the Xbox Live Gold requirement to play free-to-play games online, making the service less valuable to some players. If you don’t play multiplayer games or stick to free-to-play, you should instead consider Xbox Game Pass, which gives you access to hundreds of high-quality games.
Still need Xbox Live Gold? Xbox Game Pass Ultimate includes Xbox Game Pass for consoles and PC, Xbox Live Gold, Xbox Games with Gold, and Xbox Cloud Gaming all in one cost-effective subscription.
If you’re still not sold, you can check out some of the best games on Xbox Game Pass for a look at some of the best that’s already included. We also keep a list of all the games coming to and leaving from Xbox Game Pass, so you can see what’s happening with Xbox Game Pass.
