Xbox Live Gold subscribers on Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S can now download not one, not two, not three, not four, but five games for free, but only for a limited time as part of Games With Gold. The first and most notable of these five games is Gears 5, which can be downloaded for free until February 28. Gears 5 debuted in 2019 via The Coalition, and not only is it the biggest free game on offer, but the third-person cover shooter is arguably the best free game on offer.
The second of these five games is Dandara: Trials of Fear Editioa 2D platformer meets Metroidvania sent by Brazilian studio Long Hat House and published by Raw Fury in 2018. This freebie will be available until March 15th.
The third of these games is a classic and one of the most influential games of all time: Resident Evil. That’s right, the original survival horror classic is also available for free, but like Gears 5, it is only available until the end of the month.
The fourth of these free games is Lost Planet 2, an Xbox 360 game that can be played on Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S via backward compatibility. The third-person shooter, developed by Capcom, debuted in 2010.
The fifth and final game is only available in Argentina, which means you will need to create an account for this region. Fortunately, this is not only free, but it is also quite easy to do. That said, once you’ve done this, you can also download Darksiders, which also returned in 2010 through Vigil Games and THQ.
As always, all of these free games are free downloads. In other words, they are not free trials. Once downloaded, you can keep them as long as you have an active Xbox Live Gold subscription. If this subscription expires, you will lose access to any games you have downloaded through it until you subscribe again.
