Xbox released a statement today in an email to customers stating that Games With Gold will no longer contain Xbox 360 games alongside Xbox One starting this October. No statement was made on if the current 4 games will lower to 2 or not. It’s a blow to a part of the Xbox Live Gold service that has been getting weaker and weaker over time after Xbox Game Pass started up. The statement is copied below.
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.
I hope they make up for it in some manner to be honest, would be a shame if they didn’t since Sony does give quite a lot of good games with their base subscription.
