New Games with Gold for February 2023

Make it your gooooaaaallll to have fun with two great February Games with Gold! On Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S, answer the call to adventure in For the King and then play soccer in a completely unexpected way in Guts N Goals.

These arent even barrel bottom scrapings. They never made it in the barrel.

[Petebloodyonion]

LOLOLOLOL!
that made me laugh!

[UncertainCategory]

I don't know why they bother anymore with these, but 'For the King' is an alright game.

[RedDevils]

Epic gave me way better games than this crap, and it free.

[FallenAngel1984]

Good lord Microsoft you can do better than that

[CobraKai]

True. But they won’t. It’s like they figured if someone has only gold and not game pass, they deserve these games.

[Lightning77]

They're low balling Gold users in attempt to get them to go to GP. Which isn't right because not everyone wants gamepass.

I know it's a shocker.

[Crows90]

No they can't. If they could then they would've.

[Lightning77]

The way Gamepass is being supported? They definitely can't and won't do any better.

[crazyCoconuts]

Best value in gaming

[Bathyj]

$2 trillion company

[ken2813]

Why do they even announce this? At this rate next month would be solitaire and minesweeper

[ChasterMies]

That would be funny except people would play Solitaire and Minesweeper.

[crazyCoconuts]

They don't want to sound like bad guys that are taking away features from your subscription, but also don't want to give online away for free because they've already built that revenue into expectations.GamePass has probably cannibalized all the money that used to be used for securing good games so Xbox users are stuck paying for crap

[Crows90]

Only true if they ever really had consistently good gwg offerings...but that wasn't the case.

[Crows90]

They announce this because they know that their base are like sheep. Dumb and won't complain.

[Ra3030]

I keep hoping for the Win92 game Jezzball but I'm hoping it makes it to Game Pass. I'd definitely renew my subscription for that.

[Stanjara]

Jesus!!!!

[Hereandthere]

This is embarrassing

[gunfan]

Wait it's today April 1st?

All kidding aside. Must be some type of strategy to eliminate the free games. The less people download the better the excuse to eliminate the freebies.

I can just see some Xbox executive saying

"since gamepass is so popular people don't care for the free monthly games and we will eliminate the free downloads.

[Ninver]

Only a matter of time. They have people on the payroll constantly churning out ideas and ways to screw the customer.

[badz149]

and people are convinced that MS won't take away ActiBliz's games from Playstation once they have acquired them. just look at THESE monthly GWG offerings!! they even take away great games from coming to their paying non-GP customers! what makes you think they will keep releasing ActiBliz games for non-xbox owners on PS?

[Elda]

Just smh.

[Petebloodyonion]

Microsoft should feel ashamed for the poor quality of GWG versus what Sony is offering to the same paying customers. And it's even worse when you factor in that Epic Games is giving 2 games per week that are of better quality and I get to keep them forever.

I guess there's no rush to make a change when ppl are forced to pay for online play. At least, Sony makes you feel that you are actually getting something out of this paywall.

[EvertonFC]

That's like really embarrassing to the point there just taking the pi**

[Destiny1080]

there's only one review for Guts 'N Goals on metacritic and its probably from the guy who made it, For The King fairs better with 5 reviews with one being a 91/100

[GotGame818]

Oh well. We got Hi-Fi.

[crazyCoconuts]

Yeah, if you're paying for online + GamePass, you're paying $15/month to rent a $30 game.

[GotGame818]

Plus access to hundreds more. Also, I buy games. I have over $200 pre ordered. RE4, Hogwarts, Forza,. That covers over a year of GP.

[Orchard]

“ you're paying $15/month to rent a $30 game.”

Is Hifi the only game on your GP sub?

My sub shows lots of games, plus lots more coming like Atomic Heart, Stalker, Forza and Starfield.

[jznrpg]

This other games aren’t out yet PS only Orchard lol

[Orchard]

@jznrpg Right... but... as I wrote "My sub shows lots of games" - there's still more games on GP than just HiFi today. so claiming someone is paying just for HiFi is a lie.

p.s. I'm not PS only, PS5 is my primary console but I do play certain games/genres on PC too - mainly RTS and the FPS games you can't find on console (like Ready or Not).

[EvertonFC]

Easily pleased Xbox gamers

[thesoftware730]

Games with Gold is dead...they need figure out how to get rid of gold altogether, maybe make another cheaper tier of GP with no day one games, and more Ads..something like that.

[Orchard]

Never even heard of these. Utter garbage.

Save yourself the time and bandwidth - subscribe to GP and get Hi-Fi rush instead.

[crazyCoconuts]

You're not saving either time or "bandwidth" whatever that means. If you want online, you're paying for this, either individually or bundled as part of Ultimate. And almost everyone needs online.

[Orchard]

You are saving both time and bandwidth if you don't download and play these terrible games 🤷

[GotGame818]

Most Millennials don't even know what 'bandwidth' is. They don't have any idea that calling NY, from Chicago 30 years ago cost around $1 per minute lol, and that was on a landline! "Bandwidth"😂 🤣 ✌✌

[Hofstaderman]

My word even Orchard and Peterbloodyonion are not defending this.

[Chevalier]

Well a broke clock is right twice a day. But even idiots can't defend this.

[boing1]

Wow...

[Ninver]

Stay up all night waiting for it to drop, masterpiece games right here folks.

[Relientk77]

Did they just make these 2 games up? lol

[phoenixwing]

For the king is actually a decent game but is low tier indie. I bought it forever ago. The only bad thing about for the king is that it's expected you play with others like a board game

[Father__Merrin]

disgrace. i always looked forward to the 4 games now its a joke. at least even just restart the back compat games as millions wont have been on xbox to redeem in first place

[CrimsonWing69]

I thought Xbox was going to stop with this? I mean, they might as well.

[ghostrider32]

Throw the whole management team away.

[jznrpg]

Games with garbage
