Xbox Games with Gold August lineup announced

A sincere goodbye then for the last month

Yayyyyy drift

Nice! A 3D Platformer and an Arcade Racer, 2 genres I'm really into.

I know this probably isn't the 'bang' some people were hoping for, but I will likely end up playing these, which is more than I can say for a lot of GWG titles.

Really going to miss these.

Finishing with games I haven't played. I'll take it.

A 3D Platformer? I might have a look, other than that I hate racing games.

Inertial Drift is a good game. Blue Fire is average+.
I've got them already, I don't get to enjoy the final month of GwG x)

They could have done better since it's the last Games with Gold in history

When Microsoft wanted to do price hike back in 2021 they were giving Gears 5. For the last month ever they could give some big titles again.

There it is. the end. Some decent free games over the years, but now times move on. GPU dominating. New revamped Gold.

The end of an era

At least they're ending it on a high-ish note. Been eyeing Inertial Drift for a while and a 3D platformer is always a welcome addition in my book. Game pass, take some notes.

Way too short notice. When Sony pulled only PS3 and Vita they gave a years notice, all MS give is 1 month 👎

PS+ Essential and Epic Store FTW from September, then GP is just money down the drain, and nothing to show for it in 10 years. The 3rd party games in GP today, will be gone in 10 years, but GWG games 10 years ago are still playable to me now, and in 10 years will still be playable, especially X360 games.

These are the last GWG? This feels underwhelming. I'm underwhelmed.

MS were never going to give us the 'Golden Handshake' with high quality games to sign-off GwG, always going to the standard fayre of games you've never heard of or wanted - just like any other month, no different. Business As Usual for them.

Gone with minimal, do not play anything on funeral.

Well I wished it ended with a bang but I'm surprised we're getting anything in august

Inertial Drift is one of my To Do List titles, so that is nice.

Final batch, but there's going to be a final game for the first half next month before it's becoming Core (which happens September 14), right?

Hey, cool! The last two GwGs I don't have. :)

Nice for Inertial Drift.
