Microsoft debuted the Games with Gold program for Xbox Live Gold members during E3 earlier this year. Since it’s beginning, it has offered free games to paying Xbox Live members, like Assassin’s Creed II, Halo 3 and Crackdown. The service was only supposed to run until the end of the year, but Microsoft has now come out and announced that the program is being extended and will be an ‘ongoing benefit’ for Xbox 360 users.
People must really like Games with Gold, because a massive 97% of people surveyed stated that they liked the program and want more free games. The free game aspect is why PlayStation Plus gets so much praise.
Still, though, we don’t know if the Xbox One will continue the Games with Gold service, but it’d be in Microsoft’s best interest to do so. Especially if it’s to compete directly with Sony’s PS Plus.
