Xbox Games with Gold for August revealed
Microsoft has revealed the four games that Xbox Live Gold and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers will be able to download throughout the month of August.
Starting on August 1st, subscribers can download cat cafe simulator Calico for Xbox One and classic open-world crime saga Saints Row 2 for Xbox 360. If you think about it, both games are basically about being small business owners, just with different approaches to how you do business. Calico will be available for free until August 31st, while Saints Row 2 is only available through August 15th.
Following that, on August 16th players can download the roguelite platformer ScourgeBringer for Xbox One and the co-op caper sim Monaco: What’s Yours is Mine for Xbox 360. While Monaco‘s top-down presentation might make it look simple, it’s super open-ended and requires a lot of careful planning and creative thinking. Don’t miss it.
August is one of the last months that Microsoft will offer free Xbox 360 games as part of its Games with Gold program, according to a message sent to users. You also have a few more days to download this past month’s offerings.
