Microsoft revealed a hit-filled Games with Gold promotion for August last month, and already, its time for Xbox Live Gold members to claim the second wave of free titles. Xbox One users can now grab a copy of Forza Motorsport 6 while Xbox 360 owners can add Castlevania: Lords of Shadow to their library.
Note that as usual, the Xbox 360 game can also be claimed on Xbox One consoles due to it being on the backward compatibility program.
For Xbox Live Gold subscribers, here are the two games and their store pages to claim them directly:
