Xbox One Games For Gold...

So we all know this is coming at some point, my question is......when? Ive nosed around online and not found much info.

:)

 

The Fighter Within

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

 

Digital Games

Here is the link for the info, not family sharing but benefits of 'home gold'

Xbox Wire

 

Great question. My question to that is, exactly what can be free with the program? There's not a huge library of games as it is that would qualify for the program. I'm very curious myself.

 

Yeah me too!

im thinking games like halo spartan assault ,max curse of brotherhood, powerstar golf.

Maybe and i cant see it happening any time soon.

 

PS+ manages it? I am sure they could do the same.

 

Im sure they can but how quickly now thats a diffrent matter!

We all know what ms are like!

[/quote] I think the difference will be whether they stick with giving you the game permanently still or whether they adopt the PS+ way of "renting" it providing you are a member still. The current way will obviously have some sort of cost implications long
term. Personally I would be happy enough with the way PS do it, I tend to stay gold, as do I suspect a majority of users, especially on the One, so effectively the games would always be "free" for me, but I can see the appeal of the current way for some people.
I don't think we will see anything till Xmas time and even then chances are it will be Killer Instinct or Lococycle!

 

Yeah i agree mark

either way im not fussed been gold for the past 9 years no plan to stop anytime soon

 

Well Im sure the first games will be Fighter Within, NBA Live 14, Ryse and Loco Cycle.

I'm like you, every intention on staying a Gold or PS+ member so whether their classed as rented or as my own it makes no difference to me.

I hope your wrong though mate and we see this before Christmas, surely there's no reason why Microsoft couldn't throw in a couple of free games right now? Whenever it comes though you will never please everyone, you know there's going to be the ones ..... "I've
already played that" .... or .... "Rubbish game" ( most of the time they won't of even tried it ) but I've said before, there's a few games I've downloaded at no extra cost on the PSN, before I did I had no real interest in them, now that I've played them,
well I've actually enjoyed a few of them more than titles I've paid full RRP for so whatever we get, for me it's always a case of ...... "Don't Knock It Untill You Have Tried It".

That was also the case for Lococycle, I got it bundled with my Xbox One, give the code to my daughter and she's played it loads, I've had a few goes and even though when I saw the videos I thought it looked absolutely CRAP lol, well visually it won't win any
awards but it's actually quite fun, certainly a title I wouldn't pay for but certainly wouldn't grumble getting it for free.

 

Theres project spark coimg out soon thats free and you dont have to have a gold account to play.

But we all know your end up paying via micro transaction in game

Even so still got my beta code and am looking forward to creating my own games.

Other than that im sure there will be more freebies on xb1 before they roll out games for gold

 

Theres already a few freebies to be had killer instinct,kinect sports rivals,kinect fitness.

And were only 3 months in

 

However it comes about, I don't think it will be twice a month like it is on the 360. The catalog for the 360 is so vast that they can pretty much keep this going for years. As for the Xbox One, I wouldn't grumble if they did DLC give aways instead. I'm
not really one for buying much DLC so I wouldn't bash that if it came this way. I imagine it will be late this year when it kicks off so that the console has more pies to choose from.

 

You never know, MS might have a whole raft of new titles hidden to dish out for free with Games for Gold.... it doesn't necessarily have to be old games they're giving away.... Sony have managed to do it from time to time, I used to hold off buying stuff
on XBLA just in case it was offered free on PS+.
