Microsoft Announces That Games With Gold Will Come To Xbox One In 2014
Microsoft has recently extended its free Games with Gold program indefinitely for the Xbox 360. Now we know when Xbox One users will get the same benefit.
A tweet from Xbox Live director of programming Larry Hryb reveals as much detail as we’re getting for now.
Great news: Access to free games each month is coming for Xbox Live Gold members on #XboxOne – Details coming later in 2014
— Larry Hryb (@majornelson) November 14, 2013
We’re looking forward to seeing if the program stays the course over the next few months, or if Microsoft will revamp it to align more closely with Sony and PlayStation Plus.

Our Take
Free games are great, but Microsoft’s Games with Gold offerings have been from deep in the back catalog. It would be great to see some more recent titles and a bit more flexibility on the length of availability. Either way, knowing that there will be titles handed out on the Xbox One is great news.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
