As amazing as gamepass is, this is really scrapping the bottom of the barrel. Maybe even a bit below the barrel

Yeah Games with Gold is at this point an afterthought. Only decent to get some bc games I might no longer have the disc of.

Wow, Costume Quest is the only title I've even heard of in that list. For all the good that MS are doing right now, they'll want to hide that news down the back of the sofa.

Relic of a bygone age for MS now.

If you aren't going to put the effort in, might as well not bother.

Sphinx! I love these Xbox OG games coming on GwG. I don't know the other two. Slayaway looks like a fun indie.

I already have Costume Quest. It's good.

That's actually a pretty good line-up. Sphinx, Costume Quest and Slayaway Camp are decent games. Haven't played Maid of Sker.

Has anything been said about what's happening with Games with Gold as we go into the next gen? Will we still get 2xOG/360 titles and 2xBone titles or will we lose the OG/360 titles and instead get 2xSeries X/S titles instead?

Costume Quest is great (and now MS owns it because of the Double Fine acquisition), but I could have sworn it was a GWG title before?

Just an update, but redeeming Sphinx (free now) showed up under my "Owned" tab so this issue seems only for Armed & Dangerous. Whatever, Sphinx is the better game anyway

Gamepass or not, the people paying for Gold are paying the same money as they were previously yet getting considerably less value than they use to.

Sphinx and The Cursed Mummy is now available to redeem for free with Xbox Games With Gold. Here is the Xbox 360 Marketplace US link to it so you can own it permanently: https://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/...77fe-1000-9115-d802354807e4?DownloadType=Game

You will need a credit card on file in order to redeem it. If you're in a different country, try changing "US" in the link I provided to your own region.

Also, here's the link for Xbox One game Slayaway Camp: Butcher's Cut: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/s...-cut/c0xdn3hcccjz?activetab=pivot:overviewtab

Did they change how you claim Gold titles?
Now that you can install any title I am not sure how to buy them.

Any help would be great!

Sphinx shows up under my "Owned" list as well. Armed & Dangerous still shows up under the GWG section (and is labeled with GOLD)

Trine 4 is free with Gold in Korea and can be redeemed by anyone but be a little careful when checking out or use something Bing Translate if you don't feel confident in how the checkout process works (or you speak Korean). If you see any numbers together with a ₩ symbol then you should probably back out. I added it to my account with zero issues just now. Signing in to your Microsoft account and then following this link to claim the game worked for me.

I'm in Canada and have redeemed multiple Japanese Games With Gold in the past without issues. Worst case scenario feels like they'd revoke the license but it hasn't happened in the past. I suggest grabbing Trine 4 if you have an interest in the game.

I can not get Sphinx to add to my account. I click GET and the window goes away and nothing. Anyone having this issue on this specific game?

Yeah, this is what I'm still confused by. I bought both from the Xbox One store on the console itself, but only Armed and Dangerous shows the GOLD label. Sphinx doesn't.

Heck yeah! Thanks.

Also, the DLC is free too, so gobble up.

So I beat Maid of Sker in about four hours. It's your standard walking simulator mostly with puzzles and avoiding enemies. It does share a lot of similarities to RE7 and
RE2R halfway through, pretty blatantly.
It's a very beautiful game and has great music, it's too bad it seems to have a slab on vaseline on the visuals. It'd be a decent Halloween night game.

Man I just don't find it fun. It's not hard, but it's very boring. The entire catch is okay, but scenarios do nothing for me. More often then not I move on to a new area and die during a new situation with no chance to salvage my mistake.

I loved RE7, this game has nothing in common with it except it's first person. I feel like they wanted to put more in the environment, but it's really not open or with freedom of exploration. It's very linear, with literal tiny paths, and the occasional open area with switches flip and enemies to avoid.

Super disappointed with this one.
