As it does every month, it is expected that Microsoft will be offering AAA games for free for the month of June to members of their Xbox Live Games with Gold program. However, the Redmond tech titan is yet to make any official announcement in this regard.
Usually, Xbox Live Director of Programming Larry Hryb aka Major Nelson announces the roster of games for the ensuing month some time around the last week of the current month. Hence, as May is drawing to an end, Xbox users and fans have begun speculating that Microsoft is likely to maintain the impetus it created with their April release, Vine Report stated.
In April, Microsoft released a roster it dubbed as "April blockbusters" for members of the Xbox Live Games with Gold program. The momentum of releasing major titles was maintained even for May. Now, with June knocking on the door, it is expected that Xbox will once again surprise its members with AAA games.
There are rumors that as the E3 event this year kicks off in June, Microsoft may be pushed to deliver AAA games for its Xbox Live Gold members. Some of the titles that are anticipated this month on Xbox Gold Live include "Ryse: Son of Rome" and the hit racing game "Forza Motorsport 5." Already, its games have been released for the Xbox One.
Meanwhile, Xbox Live Gold members who have not yet downloaded some of the free games offered in May can still do so, since three out of the four offered games are still available. These include "Defense Grid 2," "Costume Quest 2" and "Costume Quest 2."
Last year, as far as free game offerings are concerned, Microsoft apparently got a lead on Sony. Hence, it is speculated that the Redmond tech giant will not give up on this lead soon and will keep on delivering amazing titles for Xbox 360 and Xbox One, The Bitbag reported. Nevertheless, gamers should not expect to see too much indie-title unlike in PS Plus free games.
