Xbox Live Gold Members are receiving bonuses as a thank you from Microsoft for keeping the community moving along. Previously, Viral Global News announced the reduction in pricing for the Xbox One, and more importantly additional perks for Gold members. Subscribers are entitled to two free games monthly, for the remainder of 2014. During the 1st and 16th of every month, Gold members can select a free game and enjoy, building a nice collection. Of course with the offer, this encourages non-Gold players to jump on the flashy boat of opportunity.
What are some of the games offered and up next? Keep in mind, these games are aimed at the Xbox 360 console holders. Availability may vary, and game choices may vary based on country and age requirement for downloads.
- Saints Row The Third - Available until May 31st, 2014.
- Dark Souls - Available for first half of June.
- Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition - Available for the second half of June.
