The Bigger Game – Dead by Daylight
Xbox Games with Gold Predictions
After the launch of the Xbox Series X this month, instead of offering a Series X (version) game on Games with Gold for the launch month (like PS5 did with Bugsnax), Microsoft instead opted to offer titles from their previous three generations including Aragami and Swimsanity for Xbox One, Lego Indiana Jones for Xbox 360, and Full Spectrum Warrior for original Xbox.
This seemed like an odd choice, as one would think Microsoft will opt to offer a newer and optimized title (even just the Xbox Series X version of a title) to coincide with the launch and give Series X owners some time to test out the specs of their new consoles.
We have some predictions as to what free Xbox Games with Gold titles will be offered for players for the upcoming month of December 2020. And while Mircosoft might go the same route as last month and not include a Series X version game, it seems more likely it will choose a new-gen inclusion and follow in Sony’s footsteps to show off next-gen framerates, load times, and visual fidelity.
Therefore, for next month we predict the bigger game on Games with Gold will be the Xbox Series X optimized version of Dead by Daylight.
Dead by Daylight first released back in 2016, and recently in 2020 has seen a huge resurgence of players after several game-improving updates.
It has been offered on PS Plus in the past in August 2018, and Microsoft has a history of including more well known PS Plus games in its own lineup a year or so later.
