For years, subscribers to Xbox Live Gold have been able to claim up to four free games every single month, which is how young me started up their growing Xbox games collection. The XboxGames with Gold for the month of Octoberhave just been announced, including two Xbox One titles, an Xbox 360 title, and an original Xbox game that combine to total $71.96 in value and 3,000 available gamerscore for Achievement hunters to persue. Xbox Live Gold andXbox Game Pass Ultimate, which includes Gold and tons of other perks, can claim these games starting October 1 and throughout the rest of the month.
The first game that will be available is Slayaway Camp: Butcher’s Cut, which will be available starting October 1 all the way until October 31 on Xbox One (but is still claimable on Xbox 360). Maid of Sker is the second Xbox One title, and will become available starting October 16 all the way until November 15. We also have Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy, an original Xbox title that will be available starting October 1, until October 15.
The highlight of this month’s Games with Gold, however, is probably Costume Quest, which will become available starting October 16 until October 31, and is an Xbox 360 title. You can play Costume Quest on Xbox One, Xbox 360, and the upcomingXbox Series XandXbox Series Susing backwards compatible, and is still a great and enjoyable game.
