Ever since the program launched earlier this year, the Games With Gold program for the Xbox 360 has been a highly popular one, with such free monthly games as Halo 3 and Assassin’s Creed II offered to Xbox Live Gold subscribers.
Now, that program will continue on the new Xbox One platform that’s launching next week. Larry “Major Nelson” Hyrb, director of programming for Xbox Live, stated that Games With Gold will make its debut on the console “later in 2014.” Though games weren’t determined, we’re likely to see possible launch titles offered for free at that point, including Forza Motorsport 5 and Killer Instinct.
The program is considered an “ongoing benefit” for the Xbox Live Gold membership plan, in which users can pay $24.99 for three months or $59.99 for a full year. This includes uninterrupted online play, amongst other promotional offers.
