PS Plus vs. Xbox Games With Gold: Which Free Games Are Better (December 2018)?
Xbox Games with Gold
Xbox Games with Gold closes out the year with a fairly solid lineup. Xbox One owners get to download QUBE 2, a physics-based puzzle game, Never Alone, another puzzle-platformer of a different kind. Never Alone is the adorable tale of a native Alaskan girl and her arctic fox, which can be played either in single-player or couch co-op mode.
The other two available games are backward compatible titles from two different eras of Xbox history. From Dec. 1-15, the free game will be 2011’s Dragon Age 2, the second entry in BioWare’s fantasy role-playing franchise. Later in the month, subscribers will be able to download Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction.
Mercenaries, developed by the now-defunct Pandemic Studios and published by the also defunct LucasArts in 2005, marks the first time that Microsoft has offered an original Xbox game in its Games With Gold lineup.
- Qube 2 (Xbox One – all month)
- Never Alone (Xbox One Dec. 16-Jan. 15)
- Dragon Age 2 (Xbox One/360 Dec.1-15)
- Mercenaries (Xbox One/36 Dec.16-31)
Do remember that you can still download many of November’s Games with Gold.
