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 the Gold Games. The first and most notable of these five games is Gears 5, which is available for free download until February 28. Gears 5 debuted in 2019 through The Coalition and is not only the biggest free game offered, but also the third shooter character is probably the best free game offered.
The second of these five games is Dandara: Trials of Fear EditioThe 2D platformer meets Metroidvania delivered by the Brazilian studio Long Hat House and published by Raw Fury in 2018. This free gift is available until March 15.
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 classic survival-horror is also available for free, but that’s it Gears 5, is only available at home until the end of the month.
The fourth of these free games is The Lost Planet 2, an Xbox 360 game played on Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S by reverse compatibility. Developed by Capcom, the third-person shooter 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, not only is it free, but it’s pretty easy to do. That being said, after doing this, you can download Darksiders, which also arrived in 2010 through Vigil Games and THQ.
As always, all these free games are free downloads. In other words, they are not free trials. Once downloaded, they belong to you as long as you keep an Xbox Live Gold subscription active. If this subscription expires, you will lose access to all games downloaded through it until you subscribe to the backup.
