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 is available for free download until February 28. Gears 5 debuted in 2019 via The Coalition, and it’s not only the biggest free game on offer, but the third-person cover-shooter is arguably the best free game available as well.
The second of these five games is Dandara: Trials of Fear Editioa 2D and Metroidvania platform game launched by the Brazilian studio Long Hat House and published by Raw Fury in 2018. This gift is 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 as Gears 5, is only available internally 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 through backward compatibility. Developed by Capcom, the third-person shooter debuted in 2010.
The fifth and final game is only available in Argentina, which means that you will need to make an account for this region. Fortunately, this is not only free, but also very easy to do. That said, after doing this, you can also download Darksiders, which also reacted in 2010 via Vigil Games and THQ.
As always, all of these free games are free downloads. In other words, they are not free trials. Once downloaded, they are yours, as long as you keep an Xbox Live Gold subscription active. If the subscription expires, you will lose access to all games downloaded through it until you make a new subscription.
