Xbox Live Games with Gold August 2018: What to Expect?

Microsoft will officially announce Xbox Live games with Gold for the month of August 2018 next week. Last month, Xbox One users had to install on the Indies with Android Assault Cactus and Death Squared both listing games with Gold programming. The programming of the Xbox 360 was better with Splinter Cell: Conviction and Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown.

Summer is usually the time of poor quality versions and from the beginning, Games with Gold programming does not improve. June had a free-to-play game with a party of Assassin's Creed Chronicles while July was full of indies. Honestly, there is no reason to expect August to be better here.

When will Microsoft announce games with gold?

Microsoft will announce Xbox Live games with Gold next week. They usually do it on the last Wednesday, so unless their plans change, which happened last month, the announcement should take place on July 25

What are the predictions for programming free games?

Here are our predictions for the upcoming Xbox Live Games with Gold programming

• Divinity Original Sin (Xbox One)
• Batman: The Telltale Series (Xbox One)
• Binary Domain (Xbox 360)
• Shadow of the Damned (Xbox 360) [19659011] Divinity Original Sin can be offered free of charge to celebrate the launch of the upcoming sequel that is available on early access. TellTale games usually offer their games for free on Xbox Live Gold or PS Plus and Batman seems to be a good competitor. Binary Domain is from SEGA who has released almost one game from the range in recent months. Finally for Shadow of the Damned, he comes from EA who is another supporter of Xbox Live Gold with free games.
