I’m at an interesting place with Gold. The gold on my account expires in a couple days, but I have gamepass ultimate with a local family member. For all extents and purposes I don’t need gold on my account, yet I haven’t gone without it for the entire generation.
Though thinking of it now, I would still need it on my account to play all the games I picked up with gold over the years.
At the end of the Games with Gold video it says that the games are available to anyone with Gold or Game Pass Ultimate. I don’t know if that also applies to your Games with Gold back catalogue.
Agreements with publishers on upcoming games are likely done months in advance typically, so my observation is that this may point to Xbox announcing that ‘Games with Gold’ as a standalone thing with Xbox Live Gold could definitely be going away as they announce their plans maybe in August for their services going forward.
Yeah, I definitely get the impression this lends credibility to Live Gold going away. I think GWG too. Game Pass only as sub. We should know within the month, I think.
Nothing really special this month, but Its atleast kinda nice to add those two OG xbox BC games to the collection, even if they are not the greatest of games…
