Games with Gold May 2018: these are the free games you can get this month
One of the main benefits of being an Xbox Live Gold subscriber is definitely the fact that each month you get access to a range of free games across the Xbox One and Xbox 360 platforms. If you’re an Xbox One owner, backwards compatibility means you get to take advantage of the Xbox 360 titles too.
This is a great way to try games you might not otherwise have played, whether because they're indie titles that slip under your radar or simply because you don’t have the funds to buy several games a month.
Even if you don’t have the console memory or the time to spare right now, we’d say it’s always worth claiming them every month anyway as you’ll then have free access to them for as long as you have an active Xbox Live account.
Since this is a monthly event, we’ve decided to create a one-stop shop where you’ll be able to find the newest free games, as well as scroll back and see which games were featured in previous months. That way you’ll know whether it’s worth holding out for a game to appear in an upcoming Games with Gold month or if it's already been offered.
So without further ado, here are the free Xbox Live games in North America, Europe, and Australia for May 2018.
Don't forget some of the April titles are still available too!
May 2018
Xbox One
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain – Available May 16 to June 15 (usually £42.49/$19.99/AU $72.45)
Probably the stand out offering for the month, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is set nine years after the events of Ground Zeroes during the Cold War. Seeking revenge, Snake has set up a private army to take on XOF. Why don't you join them?
Super Mega Baseball 2 – Available May 1 to May 31 (No price available)
Very different from Metal Gear Solid V but probably a welcome palate cleanser, Super Mega Baseball 2 is a brand new title in the baseball simulator series which will let you create your team, step up to the plate and play online and off.
Xbox 360
Sega Vintage Collection: Streets of Rage – Available May 1 to May 15 (£6.75/ $9.99/ AU $9.95)
If you can't wait for the Streets of Rage remaster then why not pick up this version for free? Take on Mr X across all three of the Streets of Rage games to get your practice in.
Vanquish – Available May 16 to May 31 (£19.99/ $14.99/ AU $29.95)
Vanquish is a sci-fi shooter that promises fast and fluid gameplay with some pretty wild combat. Considering it's from the developer behind the Bayonetta games, we're inclined to believe those claims.
April 2018
Xbox One
The Witness - Available April 1 to April 30 (usually £31.99/ $39.99/ AU $52.45)
A highly acclaimed puzzle game from developer Jonathan Blow, The Witness is a game for those willing to exercise their minds and their thumbs this month. Waking up on an island with no idea who you are, you must solve puzzles and hunt down clues to find out how and why you got there.
Assassin's Creed Syndicate - Available April 16 to May 15 (usually £24.99/ $49.99/ AU $49.95)
If you reached peak Assassin's Creed saturation before you got the chance to play Syndicate, we highly recommend taking the chance to check it out. Join Jacob and Evie Fry in the dark underbelly of Victorian London for the usual sneak and stab affair. We promise it's better than Unity.
Xbox 360
Cars 2 - Available April 1 to April 30 (usually £8.99/ $19.99/ AU $29.95)
Based on the Pixar sequel of the same name, Cars 2 is an action racing game in which players train to become world-class spies. With 25 playable characters from the movie world and a host of ridiculous gadgets, this is a fun ride.
Dead Space 2 - Available April 16 to April 30 (usually £14.99/$19.99/ AU $29.95)
Like Cars 2, this game is a sequel. And that's where all similarities stop. Dead Space 2 is a follow-up to the massively successful and scary Dead Space. Set three years after the events of the first game, this survival horror puts players in the shoes of Isaac Clarke as he fights against an alien outbreak on the Sprawl.
