Ughhhh... why bother. Okay so they drop the 360 but why not then add another XBO title to make up for it.

[MIDGETonSTILTS17]

Because they are seeing if anybody complains. Considering their brand loyalty throughout a 2-gen-length AAA exclusives drought, it’s fair for them to bet on nobody caring enough to jump ship.

Until “the games are coming” stops working, or the games do arrive, whichever comes first, I don’t expect more than this sorta shenanigans.

I would be fine with just two games if they'd up the quality of the games they give.

[strifeblade]

Actually I'm good I have gamepass ultimate so I get games every few days. I understand though it would matter more for playstation users if they had a game dropped from ps plus because most of the user base does not subscribe to ps plus extra so they would notice it way more.

[MIDGETonSTILTS17]

How about the people who just sub to Gold, and have seen the cost double while the free games offered has been cut in half without warning?

[strifeblade]

@midget
Why would you spend double on a subscription. You can't be that I'll informed. Type gold onto Google and just grab a deal.

They're you go. You're welcome. Right there 6 months for around 30 cad. And then you can upgrade that to ultimate. I did that for 3 years and spent 110$ total. Like come on man. If you wanted gold or ultimate for cheap its so easy. Just open your eyes and have a credit card. Even a guy from everest college can do it.

It's so easy. *walks away from the middle of a random parking lot*

Oh my word! Windbound is a decent game! Did Xbox actually just give a good game with GWG?! 😱

[RGB]

Xbox working their way towards making people sign up to GP, doubling the price of Gold didn't work, so halving GWG content monthly is the next natural step, if people don't complain, expect only 1 game per month, then none.

[Lightning77]

No complaints over here I'll just let it die. It's not worth anything Anymore. Leave it to the casuals they'll play anything.

[CrimsonWing69]

This is just sad. Take it out back and put it down, for chrissakes!

[Father__Merrin]

Absolutely pathetic. 4 games was ok now it's 2.....ps @re any of these tours to keep?

[darthv72]

to keep... nope. Only og and 360 ones are.

[Father__Merrin]

So basically this is same service minus x2 back compat games. Surely they could have rolled back to the start of back compat games? I've only nabbed back compat free titles from Nov 2021 onwards

[darthv72]

^^thats it... you been missing out brother. And yeah they should have looked at more og xbox or other 360 games that had not made the rotation. i swear they gave away too human several times as well as a few others. The og xbox they barely scratched the surface for back compat games.

[Brazz]

Bad, as always. PS+ put this to shame.

[Petebloodyonion]

At some point in time, MS will have to explain or reevaluate the value of XBLG to ppl versus similar offerings.
Saying it's because it's to pay for online infrastructure is now bogus due to all 3rd party providing their own servers.
Also, just a reminder that Epic Games Store provides an average of 6 games per month given for free (not rent) while giving free online play.

[Orchard]

Absolutely dreadful selection. Also, reducing the title count instead of replacing the X360 titles is a poor decision and anti-consumer.

Time to kill it already, make MP free (or merge with GP) and just push people towards GamePass.

[46player]

😂😂😂 they can stop with the Games with Gold. It’s more like Lumps of Coal.

[Chance_of_Raine]

Bomber Crew's a fun game. <3

[badz149]

MS really knows no shame. Not only their 1st party output has been shameful this year, they don't even bothered to make up the slack with better GWG offering. GP or no GP, they shouldn't disrespect their fans like this. This is outright humiliation!

[Class_Viceroy]

Love how I read the comments then the recommended article at bottom is “Windbound offered for free on Epic Game Store”

So the game is being offered for free with no subscription necessary on another platform. Totally negates the value of this months offering (not like it had much)
