June 2019 Xbox Games With Gold Predictions

The Bigger Game –Steep

Every month, those who subscribe to Microsoft’s online services for their Xbox One and Xbox 360 consoles are gifted with a few free games through Games with Gold.

While the official list for the upcoming month of June 2019 has yet to be revealed, we have some predictions as to what free games might be included on that list. Usually one larger game headlines the service every month, and we suspect it might be winter sports title Steep’s turn to be on the service.

Microsoft is used to having Ubisoft games on Games with Gold, and it’s surprising Steep has yet to be one of those Ubisoft titles to make the cut.

There’s actually a way to get Steep for free on PC until May 21, and when a game is free on one platform it’s less of a risk for Microsoft to consider it free on its own consoles as well.

Steep is also on sale on the Microsoft Store at the time of writing at 67% off. Sale games are also much more likely to make it to Games with Gold compared to more recent, fully priced titles.

The Smaller Game – Shovel Knight Treasure Trove

Along with the larger game, usually a smaller title is added on Games with Gold as well. For June 2019, we predict Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove has a good chance of being offered for free.

It’s currently on sale for 50% off, and is an extremely well-received indie title that players would be happy to have.

The title is also 50% off on steam at the moment, with a developers note saying, “We’re hard at work putting the final touches on King of Cards and Shovel Knight Showdown. After more than five years of development, the final pieces of the Shovel Knight saga will be complete!

To celebrate this momentous occasion, we want to give everyone one last chance to get Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove at the lowest price ever!”

Treasure Trove is set to become part of a bundle with King of Cards and Shovel Knight Showdown, so it would make sense to consider it on Games with Gold after a lengthy sale offering it at the lowest price it has ever had.

If people didn’t pick it up during that period, they would have a chance on Xbox One to get it for free before it became part of the Shovel Knight saga bundle.

Even though the series has been going on for a while, Yacht Club Games has made it clear it is not done with Shovel Knight just yet.

Make sure to check back in the next week or so, when Microsoft will announce the official Games with Gold free games list for June 2019.
