Microsoft says it has “reached the limit”
It’s hard forGames with Goldto stand out in this giveaway-heavy climate, especially with so many players fixated onXbox Game Pass, where the catalog runs deep and feels pretty consistently fresh. Today, Microsoft gave a heads-up about an upcoming change: starting in October 2022, the monthly “free” game lineups will no longer feature Xbox 360 titles.
“We havereached the limitof our ability to bring Xbox 360 games to the catalog; however, Games with Gold will continue to include exciting Xbox One titles and exclusive savings each month,” the company said in an email. “This will not impact any Xbox 360 games that you downloaded before October 2022.”
“Any Xbox 360 titles that you redeem via Games with Gold before that timeare yours to keep on your Xbox account, regardless of whether you continue your subscription. Thank you for being a loyal member.”
Games with Gold can feel like a relic, and I have to wonder how much longer it’ll last before it’s refocused or fully sunsetted. With today’s news, that timeline feels closer.
