Unveiling the Ultimate Collection: Complete List of Xbox One Free Games With Gold Revealed!

Highlights

Among these games, Slime Rancher stands out as the sole Xbox One game to make its debut on Games with Gold upon its launch in 2017.

The last Games with Gold offerings include Blue Fire, a 2021 action platformer, and Inertial Drift, a well-received 2020 racing game.

An Xbox enthusiast has created an image that displays all the Xbox One games that have been given away as part of Microsoft's Games With Gold. The picture showcases more than 200 Xbox One games that have been featured on the service since 2014.

Microsoft launched the Xbox Network, formerly known as Xbox Live, in 2002. The system has undergone significant updates for the releases of the Xbox 360 and Xbox One. In 2013, Microsoft introduced Games with Gold, a program offering free games to Xbox Live Gold subscribers. However, Xbox plans to replace Games with Gold with Xbox Game Pass Core. The final round of free titles will be available in August.

A Reddit user named theoneandonlybiscuit compiled a comprehensive list of Xbox One games featured on Games with Gold. This list does not include Xbox 360 games, which theoneandonlybiscuit listed in a previous post. There is a total of 222 games, starting with Halo: Spartan Assault and Max: The Curse of Brotherhood from June 2014, and ending with Blue Fire and Inertial Drift arriving next month.

The list consists of a captivating blend of primarily indie games, with a few AAA titles included. With an overwhelming number of Xbox One Games with Gold titles, it becomes challenging to delve into each one. However, there are a few standout games worth mentioning. For instance, Slime Rancher from 2017 holds the distinction of being the sole Xbox One title showcased on Games With Gold right from its launch.

Starting off the list is Halo: Spartan Assault, a top-down twin-stick shooter originally released on the Windows Phone alongside its console debut. On the other hand, Max: The Curse of Brotherhood, its counterpart, presents a physics-based puzzle platformer where the protagonist embarks on a quest to rescue his bothersome younger sibling from menacing creatures. Following them are Guacamelee!, a renowned luchador Metroidvania platformer, and Crimson Dragon, a rail shooter exclusively designed for Kinect, drawing inspiration from Panzer Dragoon.

In 2015, Games with Gold offered an impressive lineup including D4, Rayman Legends, Child of Light, Massive Chalice, Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag, MGS 5: Ground Zeros, Tomb Raider (2014), Valiant Hearts, and The Walking Dead. The following year, notable games like Lords of the Fallen, Wolf Among Us, Goat Simulator, The Banner Saga 2, Assassin's Creed Chronicles: China, Murdered: Soul Suspect, Sleeping Dogs, and Outlast were featured. In later years, popular titles such as Superhot, Assassin's Creed: Syndicate, MGS 5: Phantom Pain, Gears of War 4 and Gears of War 5, Dead Rising, The Styx Games, and the Resident Evil remake were included. Concluding with the final free Xbox Games with Gold, Blue Fire, a 2021 action platformer with mixed reviews, and Inertial Drift, a well-reviewed 2020 racing game, round out the collection. The significance of these titles is amplified by the fact that they mark the end of the free Games with Gold program.
