Games with Gold Will No Longer Include Xbox 360 Titles

Share

For those who aren’t familiar, Games with Gold is a perk of Xbox Live which offers subscribers a rotating selection of free games that they can keep as long as they are a member. This offer has since been extended to Game Pass subscribers as well, following Xbox Live being bundled with Xbox Game Pass. Microsoft has announced today that starting on October 1, the monthly Games with Gold titles will no longer include Xbox 360 games. Microsoft sent the following message in an email to customers:

Beginning October 1, 2022, the monthly games provided to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and Xbox Live Gold members via Games with Gold will no longer include Xbox 360 titles. We have reached the limit of our ability to bring Xbox 360 games to the catalog; however, Games with Gold will continue to include exciting Xbox One titles and exclusive savings each month. This will not impact any Xbox 360 games that you downloaded before October 2022. Any Xbox 360 titles that you redeem via Games with Gold before that time are yours to keep on your Xbox account, regardless of whether you continue your subscription. Thank you for being a loyal member. Team Xbox

This month’s Games with Gold includes four games that are redeemable and playable on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S consoles. Beasts of Maravilla Island is available from July 1 to July 31, Relicta is available from July 16 to August 15, Thrillville: Off the Rails is available from July 1 to July 15, and Torchlight is available from July 16 to July 31. The last two games, Thrillville and Torchlight are both Xbox 360 titles. Make sure to redeem the games before they’re gone. We only have two more rounds of free 360 games after this one before we’re all out.
