free xbox one games on gold

I paid alot of money for xbox one then more to get gold 360 owner's get free games yet i get nothing how's that right

:)

 

The Fighter Within

Without a doubt this will be the 1st free game on Games for Gold on Xbox One.

 

Evolve

This will be Free to play this weekend and will be the full game and then available to purchase with 50% off on Tuesday in next weeks Deals With Gold.
Think I will give it a go. Silly question but does it have an offline/SP mode at all?

Xbox Wire - Xbox Live Gold Members Can Play Evolve for Free This Weekend only on Xbox One

 

You do realize the free games you get on 360 were designed for that platform and not for the xbox one, right? How can they give you a bunch of free games on a system that doesnt have a lot of games yet? Not to mention it is common knowledge that you wont
get games for gold on xbox one right now.

 

Because the xbox one is only 3 months old, there aren't any games they can really offer for free.

until such a time that we either get a bigger library or the ability to play 360 games, it won't really happen much (i would advise 'purchasing' the free games every month however so that if we do, theyre on your account and you have them for free.)

 

At the moment there are not many games out for the xbox one so there is no way they can offer a free game every couple of weeks like on the 360.

When there is a decent amount of games out though it might happen

 

They've already announced that the Games with Gold promotion will extend to the One sometime later this year, but as other people have said, they're probably waiting until they have a bigger variety of games to offer.

 

Games With Gold will be by later this year like Smwutches said. Just stick with the 360 if you like its amenities better...

 

I appreciate the argument that they can't give away old games on the One, as there aren't any old games - but Sony are showing them up month after month after month...

 

Exactly there are some cheaper download only games to the same standard that Sony give to their gamers

 

Sony isn't "showing them up". What most people forget or simply don't understand is you don't own the games you get on playstation plus, they're more of a long term rental. If you no longer have PS+, you lose access to the games. If you go from XBL Gold
to XBL Silver, you own whatever games you got while you were a subscriber. That may not seem like a big thing, but for example if you're no longer a PS+ member and want to get a game that you previously downloaded (but deleted) , you wont be able to redownload
it until you're a subscriber again. You don't own your games. With games with gold, you do.

Yes Sonys games are just rentals.



When I had ps+ i bought DLC for one of the so called free games.

Once my plus subscription ran out i could no longer play that game even though i own DLC for it. Now if I want to play that DLC i payed for I have to either resubscrib to plus or buy the game.

 

I would of wanted a free xbox one game or a month XBL membership for the trouble of waiting for my Power supply adapter replacement! It took a month for it

 

Fine, Microsoft can give me free games and call them"rentals" if they want. Take them off me when my Gold subscription lapses.

Since it has been permanently renewed for about 7 years it makes no difference whether it's a free game or a rental.

 

Another new ps4 game out free to play with PlayStation plus! Come on xbox their making you look bad
