The highlight of the month is likely Maid of Sker, which just released back in July. And unfortunately, this is really the only notable game included. That said, as Microsoft notes, the month’s offering features nearly $60 worth of games. However, as always, these aren’t truly free games. You need to be an Xbox Live Gold or Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscriber to enjoy these “free” games when they drop next month.
Below, you can read more about all four games, as well as check out a trailer highlighting the four titles:
