Here are the games that you’ll get if you are an Xbox Live Gold Subscriber
Although it was announced months ago, it seems that Xbox has now gone ahead with its plan to release only two free games per month and not the four games as before, which is a bit of a shame.
This is the first month that the Games With Gold offer doesn’t include original Xbox or Xbox 360 games. Unfortunately, this means that the offer for October, and apparently for the coming months as well, only includes two games.
The two games available this month are Windbound and Bomber Crew Deluxe Edition, which have completely different genres, giving subscribers at least a little variety.
Here is a deeper look into the two games available to subscribers this month:
Windbound (1st of October to the 31st):
Shipwrecked alone on an uncharted island, explore, adapt and navigate the land and perilous seas to stay alive. As Kara, you are a warrior, caught at sea in a fierce storm, adrift from your tribe. Thrown from your boat, at the mercy of the turbulent waters, you are tossed onto the shores of the Forbidden Islands, a mysterious paradise.
Bomber Crew Deluxe Edition (16th of October to the 15th of November):
Bomber Crew Deluxe Edition is a strategy sim set during World War II. As the commander of a bomber crew (of course), it’s your job to pick the right team members, prepare your bomber, and, most importantly, manage your resources and delegate tasks during the mission. Each crew member is procedurally generated and has their own unique traits.
You can’t get too attached, though, as Bomber Crew features permadeath. With colorful cartoon visuals and lighthearted dialogue, Bomber Crew doesn’t take itself too seriously. Unlike a lot of World War II games, Bomber Crew is appropriate for kids, so it’ll be a good one for your youngsters to try next month.
There you have it ladies and gentlemen, your lineup for the month. It is never too late to sign up for Games with Gold if you aren’t a subscriber yet.
What are Games with Gold?
Games with Gold was first announced during E3 in 2013. It is a program that offers free Xbox games to users who have an Xbox Live Subscription. As long as you have an active subscription, you will have access to all currently available Games with Gold.
