The leak related to the Games With Gold offer for December, which appeared yesterday morning, eventually turned out to be correct.
Microsoft has also officially unveiled a lineup of free games for all golden Xbox Live subscribers, and as might be expected, December will be pretty irrelevant when it comes to offering free games itself.
Namely, the Games with Gold offer is led by Tropico 5 – Penultimate Edition and The Escapists 2, and there are also slightly older Xbox 360 titles such as Orcs Must Die! and Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet, which can be played thanks to backwards compatibility support. You can see what their availability schedule looks like below:
List of available Xbox games
- The Escapists 2 (Xbox One) – Available December 1-31
- Tropico 5 – Penultimate Edition (Xbox One) – available from December 16 to January 15
- Orcs Must Die! (Xbox 360 / Xbox One) – Available December 1-15
- Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet (Xbox 360 / Xbox One) – Available December 16-31.
