INDIE
XBOX GAMES WITH GOLD FREE GAMES PREDICTIONS FOR MARCH 2018
Usually an indie title also makes it to Games with Gold alongside some other larger games, and for Match 2018 we believe Yooka-Laylee might make it to players, if not next month then sometime pretty soon.
When Yooka-Laylee was first announced and funded on Kickstarter in 2015 with over £2 million raised, players were super excited to try out this spiritual successor to the beloved Banjo-Kazooie series from a core group of former Rare employees. It follows a similar gameplay format with a duo-team working together with their unique abilities to traverse colorful open-world areas. However, upon release it did not get as high of scores as players were hoping for. Currently for the Xbox One platform it has a 73 Metacritic score, while Banjo-Kazooie for N64 has a 92 and Banjo-Tooie also for N64 has a 90.
Therefore, a few people might have not gotten around to picking up Yooka-Laylee upon its initial release, and would really appreciate a chance to try it out now, especially if they were originally Banjo-Kazooie fans. As well, the title also released on numerous other platforms including PC, PS4, and Nintendo Switch, so its less likely Microsoft would be worried about losing sales of this title than if it was just an Xbox One exclusive.
Make sure you check back with Twinfinite in hopefully just a few weeks when the list of Game with Gold free games is officially announced by Microsoft.
