With the end of October upon us, it's time to look forward to all the free games coming up in November through Xbox Live Games With Gold and PlayStation Plus. You Xbox One owners are actually in for a treat in November, as Battlefield 1 will be headlining the free games on offer. Its appearance on Games With Gold likely isn't a coincidence, as Battlefield 5 is set to release on November 20.
July is literally less than a day away now, which means Xbox Live Gold subscribers are about to have several new games to add to their collection for free. Microsoft has just announced the lineup of titles included in the Games with Gold program for July 2018, consisting of two Xbox One games and two Xbox 360 games, as usual, with the latter two titles also playable on the Xbox One hardware thanks to backwards compatibility.
Microsoft has revealed the May 2018 lineup of free games available through the Xbox Live Games with Gold program.

There's several great games in lineup, including the highly acclaimed Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain.
It's hard to imagine that there are people out there who haven't tried PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds yet, but if you're one of the seven people who belong to that group, your chance to check it out is coming up. For a short time next week, PUBG will be free to play on Xbox One, giving you the chance to take it for a test spin without putting up any of your hard-earned cash first. Sadly, there isn't any indication that PUBG will also be free on PC next week, at least not at the moment.
Just as Sony is detailing the free PlayStation Plus game for April today, Microsoft is doing the same for the free titles that will be offered through Xbox Live's Games with Gold. Like all of the months before, Microsoft will be handing out four games in total: two each for Xbox One and Xbox 360. The Xbox 360 titles, as always, will be backward compatible with Xbox One, meaning that Xbox One players will net four free games should they want to dedicate the bandwidth to downloading all of them.
Microsoft has announced the free games that will be available in March 2018 for Xbox Live Gold subscribers. As in the past, the games will be staggered throughout the month leading into mid-April. There are four titles for the Xbox One, two of which are also available on the Xbox 360. While the lineup is decent all around, the most notable among the games is Trials of the Blood Dragon.
These days, it's tough to avoid paying to play video games online unless you happen to be playing on PC. Prompted by the rise of Xbox Live Gold in the Xbox 360/PS3 era, Microsoft, Sony, and now even Nintendo either have implemented or will be implementing systems that require you to pay to play online multiplayer. Though there probably aren't very many Xbox owners who don't have an Xbox Live subscription at this point, Microsoft has a new promotion for those hold outs who remain.
That time of the month is once again upon us: Microsoft has revealed which games will be available to Xbox Live subscribers under its Games with Gold program. This time around we see a total of four games, two for the Xbox One console, as well as one for the Xbox 360 plus one an Arcade title. Which game is best among the group is debatable, but all of them are great options.
With the arrival of 2018 will come the year's first selection of Xbox's free Games with Gold. Microsoft today revealed a new group of games that will be available for free to anyone who is subscribed to Xbox Live Gold. Since Xbox Live Gold is a requirement if you want to play multiplayer games, we're guessing that most Xbox owners will get to partake in these freebies.
We've known about Microsoft's Black Friday deals for a few days now, but today the company revealed the sales it has in store for games purchased digitally through Xbox Live. A lot of these discounts seem pretty solid on their own, but there are extra perks if you happen to be subscribed to Xbox Live Gold. For Gold members, the sales begin today - four days before they go live for everyone else - and on top of that, they'll get deeper discounts than those who aren't subscribed to Gold.
If you're one of the six people left on Earth who haven't played Skyrim yet, then Microsoft, Valve, and Bethesda have some very exciting news for you.

This free weekend is already underway, so you can download the game now and start playing right away.

Availability will be staggered throughout the month, in some cases persisting through mid-September.
