Microsoft Announces October’s Games With Gold


Posted on September 21, 2016 by Joshua Rust

October’s Games with Gold have been announced today by Microsoft. As with last month, we are getting two Xbox one games and two Xbox 360 games that are backwards compatible. Which really means four Xbox One games! Score!

Here’s how Microsoft describes these games on Xbox Wire:

And here’s how Microsoft describes these games over on Xbox Wire:

  • On October 1, step up to the plate with Super Mega Baseball: Extra Innings. This is a deep, detailed baseball simulation with a lighthearted, friendly look. Blending realistic physics, per-player difficulty control that allows beginners and seasoned vets to play together seamlessly, and tight, responsive controls, this is a baseball game you won’t want to miss!
  • Then on October 16, there’s only one thing standing between you and your freedom in The Escapists. A clever plan. Get a light-hearted glimpse into prison life with an eye towards escaping once and for all. Mixing simulation, strategy, stealth, and plenty of surprises, you may not want to live in The Escapists’ prisons, but you’ll definitely enjoy the visit.
  • On Xbox 360 (and Xbox One via backward compatibility), the best-selling off-road racer returns with all new tracks and mechanics in MX vs ATV Reflex. With the revolutionary Rider Reflex control system, you can move your rider and vehicle independently, lean into tighter turns, pull off sudden spins and slides, and smoothly stick landings. Oh and did we mention that the very track itself will deform and change under you as you run each lap?
  • Then on October 16 you are a lone survivor in I Am Alive™. After a worldwide cataclysmic event that wipes out most of the human race, you must explore a desolate city and try to survive long enough to find your family. Uncover secrets, deal with potentially deadly survivors, and intimidate your enemies into submission to conserve ammo… but be careful, some may call your bluff!

* Super Mega Baseball: Extra Innings ($19.99 ERP): Available from October 1-31 on Xbox One

* The Escapists ($19.99 ERP): Available from October 16- November 15 on Xbox One

* MX vs ATV Reflex ($29.99 ERP): Available from October 1-15 on Xbox 360 & Xbox One

* I Am Alive ($14.99 ERP): Available from October 16-31 on Xbox 360 & Xbox One

There is still time to pick up some of September’s Games with Gold titles, don’t miss out on these free games!
