The service was a success, and it’s been a central part of Microsoft’s offering for years as players had the chance to download and play a massive variety of Xbox, Xbox 360, and Xbox One titles. The games on offer ranged from smaller indie titles to fan-favorite AAA releases, and the service served as an important precursor to Microsoft’s incredibly popular Xbox Game Pass. But now it seems like a big change is coming as the last Xbox 360 game, Portal 2, will be given away next month.

The End Of An Era

A lot has changed within the game industry since Games with Gold launched. Consoles have come and gone, game-changing titles have been released, and big companies have started their own subscription services. It was inevitable that Games with Gold was going to have to adapt to compete and remain relevant, and Microsoft has continued to innovate alongside its competitors. With the start of Xbox Game Pass in 2017, it has started to focus more and more on its newer and more expansive subscription service, which many felt left Games with Gold in its shadow.

In recent years, some players believe that Games with Gold has been in slow decline, with a slightly poorer showing each month and the perks decreasing as better services began to flood the market. It became clear that Xbox Game Pass was becoming Microsoft’s priority, and Games with Gold’s fate seemed sealed. Microsoft recently announced that it will no longer be releasing free Xbox 360 titles alongside the monthly Xbox One games, showing how times are indeed changing. While the company’s reasoning that it’s simply running out of games to release rings true, it seems to confirm that Games With Gold’s days are numbered as Xbox Game Pass continues to gain prominence.

While it seems more and more likely that Games with Gold may be going the way of its Xbox 360 titles sooner or later, there is still lots to celebrate about the service. It’s provided players with some incredible titles over the years, and with almost a decade of games given out to subscribers, the list is very long and contains a plethora of genres, types of gameplay, and unique stories. Here’s the full list of every Xbox 360 title released across Games with Gold’s lifetime:
