Xbox Live Games With Gold subscription benefit is approaching the end of the year featuring two Xbox One games we’ve never written about: Colt Canyon and Ringing Fury.
Colt Canyonthe launched in 2020 for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Windows PC and Xbox One is a top-down roguelite shooter with cooperative multiplayer support. Imagine a lower resolution spaghetti western than the NES. Gun.Smoke
Ringing Fury launched in 2018, also for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Windows PC and Xbox One. Steeped in Chinese history and mythology, players will use highly accurate combo-based attacks against mortals and deities alike. Again, the best explanation is a YouTube video:
Games With Gold began in 2013 as a response to PlayStation Plus’s offering of free games (which itself was a response to Xbox Live, which cleverly got players to sign up for a monthly subscription in addition to buying a console). The service used to offer four titles a month, but was reduced to two in October after Microsoft determined it was running out of Xbox 360 games. An Xbox Live Gold subscription costs $9.99 per month.
The better value Microsoft would clearly prefer to buy everyone is Xbox Game Pass Ultimate at $14.99 per month, which gives subscriber access to online multiplayer, the PC Game Pass and Xbox Game Pass libraries, as well as the Games catalog from EA Play gives boots.
Xbox One and Xbox Series X Gold subscribers can still pick up the free games in November, Praetorians — HD Remaster through Thursday, November 30, and dead end job until 15.12.
