August's Games With Gold Lineup Includes Bayonetta And Red Faction
Today Microsoft unveiled the Games with Gold lineup for August, and it's a solid bunch of games.
The headliner is the absurd stylish-action game Bayonetta for Xbox 360, which will be available to download for free from August 1-15. The other 360 game in the bunch is Red Faction: Armageddon, which will be available from August 16-31. Both 360 games are backwards compatible, so you can play them on Xbox One as well.
Xbox One owners will also be able to download Trials Fusion from August 16-Sept 15. The final game is Slime Rancher, which makes its debut on Xbox on August 1 and remains free through the rest of the month.

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.
