Dark Souls Leads Off June Xbox Live Games With Gold
This month’s Xbox Live Games with Gold introduces some oft-requested changes to the program. Starting this month, Xbox One owners will get in on the fun, too.
From June 1 through 15, Dark Souls will be available on Xbox 360. Later in the month (from the 16th through 30th), Charlie Murder and the bonus title, Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition, will be available.
The two Xbox One titles for the month, Halo: Spartan Assault and Max: The Curse of Brotherhood, still don’t have dates. For Xbox One gamers, those titles will be available as long as you are an Xbox Live Gold member (similar to how PlayStation Plus works).
The Xbox 360 implementation of the Games with Gold program won’t be changing, though. You’ll be able to keep your games even if you drop your membership.
As a reminder, you are running out of time to get the current Xbox Live Games with Gold title. Head here to download Saints Row: The Third.

Our Take
This is a big month for Games with Gold. All of the titles are solid, and this is the first step for Xbox One owners. I expect we’ll see Ryse or Forza Motorsport 5 join the program in the coming months, too.
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.
