Beginning October 1, 2022, the monthly games provided to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and Xbox Live Gold members via Games with Gold will no longer include Xbox 360 titles. We have reached the limit of our ability to bring Xbox 360 games to the catalog; however, Games with Gold will continue to include exciting Xbox One titles and exclusive savings each month.

This will not impact any Xbox 360 games that you downloaded before October 2022. Any Xbox 360 titles that you redeem via Games with Gold before that time are yours to keep on your Xbox account, regardless of whether you continue your subscription. Thank you for being a loyal member.

Xbox Games with Gold typically includes four games each month for Xbox Live Gold and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers. It includes a mix of original Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S titles. The July 2022 lineup consists of Beasts of Maravilla Island, Relicta, Thrillville: Off the Rails, and Torchlight.
