Sort of buried in the announcement, but looks like games won't be free forever as now. Basically as PSN+ operates.

It's a non-story isnt it really?
The games they gave away for free that you could keep on 360 were 6+ years old really, chances are if you never played them before there was a reason and if you only downloaded them now it was because they were 'free' However changing to the PS+ model, is it such a bad thing? You need a gold sub to play online, you need a PS+ sub to play online (some people still dont I agree) But if people are going to get wound up because to play Max Curse of The Brotherhood on X1 you need a live sub, then why dont you just buy it if it means that much to you? I cant click on the links at work, but the 360 free game model remains the same doesnt it? You keep them even if your Gold runs out? |

I also agree that having to keep an active gold account to play the freebies is a step in the right direction, provided the games are of reasonable age and quality. |

That's correct 360 remain free to keep, it's the X1 free games that require a gold sub, as PSN+.
I also agree that having to keep an active gold account to play the freebies is a step in the right direction, provided the games are of reasonable age and quality. I ask because I have a gold sub and probably wont get an X1 until it is about £200 and would be nice to have a collection of games waiting for me. |

Sorry if this has been mentioned but will I be able to buy Xbox One games that are free even though I currently don't own an Xbox One?

I was going to say that maybe you could get someone with a x1 to log in with your gamertag and download the games for you. But if you can only download them in the games for gold window each month then meh. Once usb downloading happens, what will happen when your usb drive fails? Its going to happen to someone
Oh my god I have just lost 20 games for gold

That doesn't sound good... I figured it would just be like PS+...
but I do think that this should have been rolled out to 360 too. Then MS would have no excuse but to offer more up-to-date games.

That Major Nelson "designated window" comment sounds more to me like from the first of the month 'til the sixteenth. Not an actual box on the Xbox One dashboard.

Powerstar golf was free yesterday apparently, not sure about today.
Killer instinct is free but is only one character, project spark if free also. Games with gold for x1 starts next week. |

I assume it will be the same as the free games on the 360. So one game on the first and the second on the sixteenth. If you don't download the first game before the second game then you'll never be able to download it for free.

They should word that better really because what it should say is that you need to purchase the game during the designated window, not actually download it. As long as you purchase the game you should be able to download it whenever you feel like it.For someone like me that is awesome. I don't have an Xbox One yet and to have games waiting for me will be pretty cool. |

i personally think the wording may be right in this case,i will purchase them but i wont be shocked if i cant download them when i do get an Xbox One at some point in the future
I'm sure it says games must be downloaded during designated window with GwG on Xbox 360 as well. And i know for a fact that you don't need to actually download the games within that time because my brother is still downloading games that were available for free a few months ago. |

I guess we will just have to wait and see.

"Each participating Xbox 360 game (selected by Xbox) available for free download from Xbox Store only during specified half-month window" which means that they they will be available to purchase as a free download between those dates,whereas the wording on the XB1 version is completely different,it honestly sounds as if they have to be downloaded to your system during the dates,i did tweet Major Nelson to get some clarification but didn't get a reply,ive also tweeted Acey Bongos to see if i can get a definitive answer |
