Xbox Gold is Microsoft’s gaming subscription service. Subscribers can choose to pay $10 for a monthly subscription or $60 for an annual one. In return, they get benefits like access to online multiplayer features for supported games, discounts, and even new free games every month. It is essentially Microsoft’s rendition of PlayStation Plus.
For the month of July, Microsoft is giving Xbox Live Gold and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers four free games. The list includes Planet Alpha, Rock of Ages 3: Make & Break, Conker: Live & Reloaded, and Midway Arcade Origins. Planet Alpha and Conker will be the first games that players can access starting July 1st right up to the end of the month.
Rock of Ages 3 and Midway Arcade Origins can be claimed for free starting July 16. In addition to this, Xbox Live Gold and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers can still download three of June’s Games with Gold titles: The King’s Bird and Injustice: Gods Among Us (available until June 30), and Shadows: Awakening (until July 15).
