RELATED:Explaining the Free Xbox Games With Gold Games for June 2021
Why Xbox Games with Gold Not Having Xbox Series X/S Titles Pose a Huge Problem
It has been six months since Microsoft launched the Xbox Series X and S, which are the company’s latest consoles. Ever since the consoles were launched, it has been a mystery whyMicrosoft is unable to include Xbox Series X/S games on Xbox Games with Gold. The exception to this is February’s roster of free games, which included an Xbox Series X/S optimized version ofGears 5. However, players should take note of the timing this exception was made.
In February, Microsoft made headlines when it announced that it would be raising the subscription price of Xbox Live Gold. Unsurprisingly, this announcement was met with serious backlash from the Xbox community,forcing Microsoft to abandon its plans to raise pricesin less than 24 hours. In what appears to be an attempt to rectify its mistake, Microsoft February’s roster of Xbox Free Games with Gold not only offered the Xbox Series X/S optimized version ofGears 5, but it also included several triple-A titles such as the remake of the firstResident Evil.
Xbox Games with Gold Subscribers Are At a Disadvantage Compared to PS Plus Subscribers
Again, it is difficult to pinpoint the true intentions of Microsoft, given that the company has never responded to the negative criticisms hurled at Xbox Live Gold. However, based oneverything the company has done for Xbox Live Goldin the past year, one couldn’t help but think whether this is just Microsoft’s discreet way of telling players to dump Xbox Live Gold and switch to either Xbox Game Pass or Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.
