The main order of business for many Games with Gold subscribers extending their subscriptions into November will be what free Xbox One games are being announced?
It’s always difficult to work out what constitutes a lackluster month for the free games program, being mostly down to individual taste.
Overcooked reviews show the game getting a solid score from reviewers but might not be to everybody’s taste.
So it’ll be interesting see what is being released as part of November’s Games with Gold lineup.
Nothing has been revealed by Microsoft yet and probably won’t be until nearer the end of the month.
The Xbox Games with Gold for October weren’t revealed until Wednesday, September 26, so there’s no reason to believe things will be that different.
There’s a chance that Microsoft will do the same thing this month and announce near the end of this week, providing some big news before the November launch date.
There’s also a chance that something will leak before then, so it will be worth keeping an eye on the latest online news.
The good news is that the Games with Gold announcement could be followed by something even bigger for Xbox fans in November.
Microsoft is holding a new Xbox event in a couple of weeks, and the rumour is it will include more news on the Xbox 2.
This hasn’t been announced by the tech giant though and remains a rumour at this point.
Officially, Microsoft says that X018 will be a global celebration of all things Xbox, filled with news, first looks, and surprises.
It’s scheduled for November 10 and is likely to include some news on some of the company’s leading projects, even if the Xbox 2 isn’t one of them.
“Hosted on Saturday, Nov. 10 at the fourth-annual Xbox FanFest: Mexico City, more than 10,000 fans will join us on site – but you don’t have to travel to Mexico to be part of X018,” a message from Microsoft reads.
“We will live stream all the X018 action on our biggest Inside Xbox episode yet so fans all around the world can participate online.
“Whether you’ve been with us for years, months, weeks, or you’re still considering joining our global community, this is a moment where all of us come together.”
For those who don’t know, Games with Gold offers free Xbox games to qualifying Xbox Live Gold members.
The program provides Gold members with free games every month, worth up to $ 700 per year, according to Microsoft.
Games with Gold is available to all Xbox Live Gold members, which can be redeemed from the Gold widget on the Xbox One home screen.
Titles can also be found if you download the Xbox One SmartGlass app, and go to the Microsoft Store and then page right.
When you select a game, it’ll be stored in your account and ready for download when you sign in to your console.
It should also be noted that new Games with Gold titles become available on the first and the sixteenth day of every month.
