New Games with Gold for May 2020

Start May the right way with the new Games with Gold lineup. On Xbox One, handle extreme and challenging courses around the world in V-Rally 4 and combat demons of the Chaos Gods in the action-RPG Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor – Martyr.

With Overlord coming out as free, hopefully this is a sign a third game will be made and no the spin-off doesn't count as the third game.

I've heard good things about overlord. I'd never played it before but you cant argue with the price.

[BlackIceJoe]

Free is free and nothing is better than free.

[xX1NORM1Xx]

i did want to play inquisitor but other than that its pretty bad for me.

Such a horrible month in my opinion. Sony are hammering MS in terms of the quality of games they give out.

[DJStotty]

Free games are never bad. You may not like some months, fine, but what would you want Microsoft or anyone else for that matter to do?

Give you 4 of your choice of games every month for free? I just look at the monthly offerings, if they look interesting, i download, if not, i wait till the next month.

I have not played any of these, so i will be downloading all 4.

[Profchaos]

I'd take one quality game even if it's dated and I already had it eg GTA V or even a unpopular high production game like mass effect Andromeda over 4 garbage games

They're not really free though. The overall quality is lackluster and has been for a while, while Sony has released much better quality games over the past few months. I get what you're saying but it's basically choosing the best out of a bad bunch.

I think it's obvious that MS have put in all their efforts into Gamepass which I don't think is fair for Live subscribers.

@profchaos

Stop being entitled, if you want "quality" games to own, then buy them as opposed to waiting till they are free.

@Ricegum

"I think it's obvious that MS have put in all their efforts into Gamepass which I don't think is fair for Live subscribers."

So get gamepass Ultimate for £1 for 3 months? You get Gamepass and Gold. Gamepass is by far better than GWG, hence why i am more than happy to part with £1.50 (ish) a week for it, and 0.57p a week for Gold, Should really just get Ultimate myself lol.

[crazyCoconuts]

Someone earlier observed that it's been diminishing as GamePass has been getting better. Wonder if the shift is intentional... For both MS and Sony I've been wondering if they'll integrate some basic tier of GamePass/PS Now in lieu of free games each month with the next generation...

@Khalina

I know right, why would they not want to make money.

[Imortus_san]

Better then PSN PLUS by a mile.

[whitbyfox]

Like Farming Simulator and a Sim City clone haha good one.

[Profchaos]

It's like they aren't even trying anymore

[RpgSama]

And people are just happy to just pay for 2 services, one for basically just playing online and one for games.

[2ndhandcorn]

Sweet only played Overlord love me some more rally .

[CR7JUVE1897]

I don't have any of them, so this works for me

[Atomicjuicer]

More garbage. I dont play online much so I might just cancel gold.

[DJStotty]

All the entitled gamers complaining about "free" games being horrible etc, need to take a hard look at themselves.

Both companies could easily just stop giving you free games. I remember a time where you had to buy everything you played on a console and never got handouts.

But we live in a handout style world nowadays, if you want something, buy it.

Games with gold is not good anymore. I can’t remember the last time I’ve downloaded one.

I get that gamepass is the answer and that’s fantastic, but they should still throw a bone to those who have not yet subscribed.

[DJStotty]

You get 4 "bones" a month, if they are not to your liking, get gamepass, failing that, just buy games you want.

[Ausbo]

I have gamepass. But not everybody does. Games with gold used to be a reason to subscribe and still is - reason among psplus and live members. They gotta at least be decent offerings

[DJStotty]

The reason to subscribe to xbox live is multiplayer, i can not see many people subscribing just to get monthly games, GWG was just a benefit of having xbox live.
