You can get FOUR free games for Xbox One and new Xbox Series X right now
MICROSOFT’S new Xbox Series X is right around the corner, and gamers can grab four free games for the console right now.
The titles are available through Microsoft’s Games with Gold programme, which is getting a brand new selection of free games for November 2020.
This is the first Games With Gold offering titles for the Series X – out worldwide November 10 – though they’ll all work on the Xbox One, too.
What is Xbox Games with Gold?
Games With Gold is Microsoft’s answer to the free games you get with Sony’s PlayStation Plus.
You can get the free games on Xbox if you subscribe to Xbox Live Gold – something that’s required for online play.
Then, each month you receive four free games, two on the latest console and two for the previous generation.
These are yours to keep for as long as you have your Xbox Live Gold membership running.

The first of two games dropping on November 1 is Aragami: Shadow Edition.
Released in 2016, the action-adventure stealth game sees players take the role of Aragami, an assassin with supernatural abilities.

Next up is original Xbox title Full Spectrum Warrior, which is also free to download from November 1.
The squad-based game has players issue commands to two fire teams as they track down a terrorist cell in the fictional nation of Zekistan.
Aragami: Shadow Edition is available until November 15 while gamers have until November 30 to download Full Spectrum Warrior.
Midway through the month, from November 16, Swimsanity is available through Games With Gold.
It’s a multiplayer underwater shooter released for the Xbox One and Nintendo Switch earlier this year.
PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X – when are they out and how much will they cost?
