Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers can claim three free games at the time of this writing. However, these free games will be available for a limited time.
Most Xbox gamers are probably signing up for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for its Game Pass games and online multiplayer benefits. But this service also offers free games to subscribers on a monthly basis.
Free to play with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate
This is because Xbox Game Pass Ultimate isn’t just online multiplayer. It also includes the Xbox free game program. This means that Xbox Game Pass Ultimate includes Xbox Live Gold benefits. Thus, subscribers are given a couple of free games per month, and these games remain in users’ game libraries as long as they are requested within the specified time and subscribe to Xbox Live Gold or Game Pass Ultimate.
Current games as of August 2023
The free Xbox Live Gold games for August 2023 are Blue Fire and Inertial Drift. Both games will be available to claim from now until August 31st.
In addition, there is one more game that is excluded from the games set for July 2023. This allows Game Pass Ultimate subscribers to get the game called When the Past Was Around until August 15th. The games are as follows:
- When the Past Was Around (until 15 August)
- Blue Fire (until 31 August)
- Inertial Drift (until 31 August)
These games are the last free games given to Xbox Live Gold and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers. For many years, Microsoft has not shown the necessary attention to this service in favor of Xbox Game Pass and has officially announced the end of Xbox Live Gold.
Anyone who signs up for Xbox Game Pass Core can expect this new Xbox Game Pass service to offer nearly the same benefits as Xbox Live Gold. There will also be perks like online multiplayer and special deals.
